Vertical shaping seams give this panel dress a more fitted structure than the simple shift design. The planned panels continue from the bodice into a lightly flared skirt, creating space for contrasting fabrics.
Design details
The planned design includes:
- Vertical princess-style seams shaping the bodice
- Continuous panels through the waist into a lightly flared skirt
- Short set-in sleeves and a round neckline
- Panel arrangement intended to suit color blocking
Fabric ideas
Consider a stable cotton, linen blend or lightweight woven suiting with a clear surface. When combining colors, choose fabrics with similar weight and shrinkage so the panels behave consistently.
Sewing notes
The planned construction emphasizes matching panel seams and sewing curved shaping lines accurately. A fitting sample will be needed to balance the front and back panels before final fabric cutting.
Use one fabric for a quiet look or contrasting center and side panels for a graphic effect.
