In this session, I demonstrated how to sew the half-circle skirt for the Vionnet dress.
I explained that it’s crucial to attach the center skirt panel first before proceeding to the sides to ensure proper alignment and prevent stretching.
I taught the importance of starting from the center when attaching the half-circle skirt, sewing the center panel first, then working outwards to the sides. This method ensures proper alignment and prevents stretching the dress fabric.
Lesson Steps:
I emphasized the need to pay close attention when sewing the front triangle section to keep it centered and prevent the heavy skirt from dragging down the entire dress. For beginners, I recommended starting with a half-circle skirt before attempting a full circle due to the added weight and challenge.
