This women’s printed off-shoulder maxi dress features an elasticated neckline and a high front slit. Made from printed woven chiffon, the dress has a lightweight look and a flowing skirt.
The neckline offers two styling options. It can be worn off the shoulder or pulled up to create a classic boat shape neckline, giving the same dress a different look.
Fabric and Fit
The dress uses printed woven chiffon with a lining underneath. The lightweight outer fabric creates a soft, flowing appearance, while the lining provides coverage and supports the overall wearing experience.
The fitted waist shapes the silhouette, creating a closer fit through the upper body before flowing into the long skirt.
Garment Construction
The elasticated neckline is designed to support both off-shoulder and boat-neck styling. The elastic needs to work with the neckline width and shape so that both wearing options look natural.
The fitted waist and flowing maxi skirt also need to work together in the overall pattern and proportions. The slit adds movement to the skirt while creating a more distinctive look.
Pattern Making and Sample Development
During sample development, the neckline should be checked in both wearing positions. The fit through the waist and the balance between the fitted upper section and flowing skirt should also be reviewed.
These details are important in achieving the intended shape and wearing effect.
Finishing and Quality Control
The chiffon outer layer and lining need to be considered together during garment finishing.
At the side slit, the lining is finished 1.5 cm above the top of the slit. This small difference helps prevent the lining from showing through the opening.
The neckline, waist, slit and hem should also be checked to ensure that the finished garment follows the approved sample.
