Course Description: So easy, so comfortable and so gorgeous! You'll learn to craft this Empire-line Dress which features a great fit, beautiful back, and is very slimming. The skirt is bias-cut to drape perfectly. The bodice is an 8-piece cropped top style. The skirt can be cut as two half-circle layers or one full-circle layer. We have added several new twists to this project: Skirt is reversible, and both the skirt and under-leotard button in to the bodice, making them easily removable for cleaning and for changing sizes/lengths for different dancers.

Fabric Choice Tips:

• Excellent Quality Japanese Polyester Chiffon, a strong, easy to care for fabric, with excellent flow.
• 8mm Silk Georgette, the most delicate fabric, which has the best flow and movement, but is more expensive, must be hand-washed in cold water or dry cleaned and can easily get “picks” and “runs.”

Prerequisites: This is a Level 2 class, so you will need to have at least an intermediate level of sewing expertise. IF working with silk, be prepared for a higher level of difficulty.
