Flamenco Dress Digital Sewing Pattern

Description

Feel like a real flamenca in a gorgeous, well-fitting, comfortable and fit-for-dancing flamenco dress.

The sewing pattern is available in digital format ONLY (no paper pattern will be shipped).

It includes women’s sizes 6-16 (saved individually so you won’t get entangled in a maze of lines, and including recommended seam allowances so you can choose your size, make any adjustments you may need and start cutting)

Rather than choosing one particular dress design (the truth is I couldn’t decide 🙂 ) I’ve included:

The flamenco dress base pattern featuring princess seams, a jewel neckline and long sleeves. Lots of variations of flamenco dresses start off from there.

+ the 4 most common neckline alternatives: V-neck, square, heart and round neckline

• 

  heart neckline

• 

  round neckline

• 

  square neckline

• 

  V neckline

+ the 3 most common sleeve alternatives: long sleeve, below elbow length, above elbow length, bishop sleeve + instructions how to modify the pattern for a sleeveless dress

+ the 5 most common ruffle patterns (incl. ruffle position and fabric calculations for 12 different designs to get you started)

so you can “mix and match” to create your very own flamenco dress design.

The Ruffle Calculator

If you don’t want to stick to the designs included with the pattern – and that’s the whole idea of having several options for different pattern pieces – and change skirt flare and/or ruffle pattern you’ll need to calculate for yourself how many meters of ruffles you need and how much fabric you have to buy. I wrote an article explaining how to go about that but there is now an easier way: The Ruffle Calculator.

I created it as a spreadsheet for my own use quite some time ago and have now converted it into an easy to use online tool so you’ll have an easier time sorting out your ruffles:

The Ruffle Calculator is available to Flamenco Dressmaking customers so when you purchase a pattern you’ll receive the password to access the tool.

PS: Any purchase includes access to a private Facebook group to get your questions answered and connect with other flamenco dressmaking enthusiasts.
