The Folkwear Flamenco dress pattern allows you to create a sensational dress for dancing or dressing up, complete with lavish flounces that move with flash.
The Dress has princess seams for a semi-fitted silhouette; the princess seams start from the shoulders rather than the armholes to facilitate arm movement. The garment is completed with flounced cap sleeves, a v-neck front, scoop back neckline, and four layers of flounces attached to foundation tiers.
The Skirt has back waist darts, a raised waistline and up to three flounces. You could make it with all three flounces or just one flounce for a salsa-hot mini (check out the images for an example in wax print). Make a simple-sew fabric rose accessory to attach to the dress or pin in hair. The skirt with one flounce also makes a great everyday skirt.
PATTERN DETAILS:
This is a paper pattern and is sized (American sizing) from ETXRA SMALL to EXTRA LARGE.
FABRIC SUGGESTIONS:
Silk or polyester dupioni, taffeta, faille; other fabrics with body and slight stiffness. For lightweight drapey fabrics, lightly interface flounces. For shorter everyday skirt you can use a rayon challis, wax cotton, Ankara, or even linen. These fabrics are not authentic to the Flamenco dress, but will work.
