  Step 1

  Once the pattern is drawn, cut the fabric making sure to cut the straight of grain. you need one front piece cut on the fold, and two back pieces.

• 

  Step 2

  sew darts to the desired shape in the two back pieces.

• 

  Step 3

  pin and sew the pleats around the neckline, towards the centre.

• 

  Step 4

  sew the side seams and the shoulder seams. then sew carefully round the armholes and hem.

• 

  Step 5

  create a bias binding strip and encase the pleats, giving a neat finish.

• 

  Step 6

  sew up the back to the hip line, and sew a zip the rest of the way up, preferably concealing it.

• 

  Step 7

  finally, create a simple fabric tube the desired width and length. turn it inside out and tie around the waist, arranging the pleats down the dress.
