Este vestido deu-me a oportunidade de testar uma fita de entretela própria para reforçar as costuras que o Paco me enviou junto com outras coisas (Obrigada Paco!):


Como podem ver a entretela termo-colante é cortada em viés e tem um ponto de cadeia, que depois de colada deve coincidir com a linha de costura; 4mm ficam para o lado da peça e 8mm para o lado da margem. Como a tira está cortada em viés, ajusta-se perfeitamente às curvas (esta é a entretela aconselhada nas instruções da Burda para reforçar os decotes e as cavas nos tecidos de malha). Gostei muito do resultado obtido.

Uma das coisas que faz mais confusão nesse modelo é a forma como é conseguido o efeito na frente; mais uma vez vou mostrar o que devem obter, para perceberem melhor como se faz. Depois de coser as saias da frente ao corpo, a ponta onde têm a abertura rematada e as pregas deve ficar fora da costura:

Além disso, também se deixa uma abertura na costura, por onde mais tarde vamos passar a ponta que ficou de fora:

Na próxima foto podem ver o drapeado direito alinhavado no sítio e a abertura por onde vai passar o drapeado esquerdo (atenção que o drapeado não é simétrico, tenham atenção aos números nas costuras laterais – ver o desenho técnico mais abaixo - para não colocarem o drapeado invertido):

Depois de colocar o drapeado esquerdo (passando pelo buraco, cosendo a costura entre os sinais nº3 e alinhavando os lados juntamente com os lados da frente), a ponta solta com as pregas passa por dentro do buraco do drapeado esquerdo e pelo buraco na costura que deixámos anteriormente; a costura é completamente fechada, prendendo a ponta com as pregas:

Podem ver aqui como fica:

E para perceberem melhor, têm aqui o desenho técnico e a versão em tecido liso:

Conclusão: Um vestido muito bonito e elegante, com um feitio na frente que pode ser difícil de perceber como se faz; espero que as minhas fotos ajudem quem se sentir um pouco perdido com as instruções! Fiquem bem!

This dress provided the perfect opportunity to try out the new interfacing bias tape that Paco sent me, along with other goodies (Muchas gracias, Paco!):


The interfacing tape is cut on the bias and has a chainstitch, which should match the seam line; it should be fused so that 8mm stay on the SA side and 4mm stay on the other side. It is cut on the bias and this makes it easier to shape on curved seams (This is the interfacing tape that BWOF recommends for reinforcing necklines and armholes on their jersey models). I really liked the end result!

The construction of the “twist” on the front may be confusing to some of you so I’m showing what you should be getting as a result and hopefully this will help figuring out the whole procedure. After joining the front skirts to the bodice, the pleated end/opening should be left out of the resulting seam (This is the pleated edge of the right front skirt – your right when you’re wearing the dress):

Besides, when stitching the horizontal seam that joins the bodice to the skirt, there’s also a section to be left open; later you’ll insert the pleated end corner through this opening:

Next you can observe the right draped section ready and basted along the dress side and its opening where later you’ll insert the left draped section (mind the numbers to be matched on the side seams – see the line drawing below - or you can end up with the draped section placed upside down!):

The center seam on the left draped section is stitched AFTER slipping one end through the opening on the right section (stitching from the 3 sign to the opening notch) and the sides are basted together as done on the right; then the pleated corner end from the right skirt panel is inserted through the resulting opening on the left draped section and through the previously left open section on the horizontal seam; this section is stitched on the wrong side, catching the pleated corner in the seam:

This is a close-up of the end result:

And here is the technical drawing next to the solid jersey version so you can understand this better:

Conclusion: A pretty and elegant dress, with interesting style lines; the instructions to accomplish this nice effect can be confusing so I hope my pictures will help making sense out of them! Have fun sewing, guys!

Lovely dress, the bias seam tape is also available in grey. It works great on armholes for stability.

Tany, pues si que es bonito este vestido. El drapeado es fantástico e incluso podría ir bien para un vestido de noche en color oscuro, lo imaginas?. Ahhh. por cierto, las cintas parece que funcionan bien así que voy a probarlas de inmediato en el patrón de Donna Karan. Gracias por mostrar el proceso. Abrazos, Paco

My friend, we must be telepathic. I just traced this pattern and wanted to cut the fabric last evening but didn't have the time. It's a gorgeous dress, you look beautiful in it!

Another winner! Thanks for the info on the interfacing tape - that reminds me, my local fabric store has similar, bias cut interfacing tape, it's imported from Japan, I'll have to try it out one of these days.

Tu és uma autentica máquina!
Tenho tido pouco tempo para fzer o que seja, inclusivé o de vir aqui ver o teu blog, mas já esperava que tivesses algo para mostrar!
O vestido ficou bem giro. O feitio da frente é engraçado, mas não se nota muito com o estampado. O que interessa é que gostas-te e que te assenta muito bem. Agora vou cuscar qual o teu novo projecto!

Oh, how gorgeous! I love that neckline and the twist. Hmm... I wonder if Burda sells back issues - I am in love with that pattern.
You always use the latest, coolest patterns and TDF fabrics! I want to be like you when I grow up.

Summerset said...

Nice - the print is perfect for that pattern and swirls around the body nicely! Perfect!

Hi Tany, this dress looks gorgeous on you and you just found the right print for it! I also use very often the interfacing tape - I like working with it.
Greetings from berry (CH)

Kitty Couture said...

What a beautiful and stylish dress, Tany... It looks great on you.
Now I want to make this dress as well! I probably won't have the time, though...
The interfacing tape is fantastic.
Hugs to you!

Sismada said...

Hello Tany!
Bem estas fitas de entretela em biais não as encontro no mercado :(
Pois aqui na zona pelo menos...
Na fábrica onde trabalhei de casacos era super utilisada nas cavas, decotes, ...
Que maravilhoso o Paco!

Audrey said...

Olá amiga, adorei o seu vestido e você achou uma estampa muito parecida com o original parabéns.

Cute dress and very flattering.

Ambitious Sewer said...

The dress is very beautiful and the print is fun and energetic...

Ann Made Studio said...

Honestly Tany, "everything" you make is a winner :) You are so productive and constantly produce beautiful garments! This dress looks fantastic on you.

Tany said...

Obrigada a todas! Thank you all!

I'd like to welcome Ambitious Sewer, Melissa, Pajnstl and Sewfast to Couture et Tricot!

Vicki said...

Tany, the dress looks fabulous in that print! Very nice!!

Marji said...

I think I'm going to pull that pattern out and make it, based upon how well yours turned out.
That bias tape looks really interesting, I've never seen anything like it. We have a fusible bias tape available, but there is no chain stitch in it.

Linda L said...

Wow, I love this dress! I really like the fabric you chose. It is gorgeous. I like this dress more and more everytime I see someone make it.

Adriana B. said...

Thank you Adriana B. and welcome to Couture et Tricot!
