Dress Project: Hailey

4 hrs

Welcome to The Hailey Dress Project!

In this course, we create a fitted ruched jersey dress with diagonal lines across the body.

I demonstrate draping the fabric directly on the dress form, manipulating the ruching and darts to achieve the desired silhouette.

This ruched jersey dress is easy to make in 1-2 days. By draping directly on the form, you can play with the silhouette, adjust the ruching amount, and create diagonal lines across the body without side seams. The key is tacking the draped fabric to the lining at strategic points to hold the shape in place.

I demonstrate how to create ruching and draping on the bias using a thin jersey knit fabric. I start by making a tight power mesh lining base, then ruched the jersey fabric diagonally across the front using hand gathering stitches and seam binding tape.
