About This Lesson

The second lesson in the fifth level.

Princess Seam Dress has scoop neck, short kimono sleevesand lapped back zipper. The princess seams extend to the shoulder, which are easier to learn than the type that curves sharply to the armscye.

As the projects get more difficult through Levels 5 and 6, you will notice that the instructions rely heavily on prior knowledge. The student is being weaned from the simplicity of the early Lesson Modules and toward the complexity of "standard patterns". The list of pre-requisities is getting LONG, and the materials chart is almost as complex as the "standard pattern" variety.

The fitting issues presented in each Lesson of Level 5 help the student achieve the desired fit and look regardless of body shape or size.

Approximate Time

An average student can complete the Princess Seam Dress project in this Sewing Lesson Module in about 12-15 hours.
