Made in a silk or pretty viscose crepe, it’s the perfect special occasion dress, or made in a linen or babycord you can dress it down for daytime. The pattern also includes a fantastic couture technique should you wish to add shoulder puffs to your dress (depending on ability this may not be an option during the workshop).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe waist seam sits about 1 cm above the natural waist, and the skirt gently skims over the hips. The Peony Dress is not designed to be closely fitted, but there are darts on the front and back of the bodice and skirt so you can easily adjust the fit to your liking. Both Views A and B have a sleeve frill. View A also has a skirt frill that falls just above the ankle, while View B finishes mid-thigh with no frill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSuggested fabrics:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eFabrics with a bit of drape such as viscose, crepe, silk and cotton lawn will give a floaty silhouette.

If you want a more dramatic puff, use a double layer of your fabric or add a layer of interfacing into your puff.
