EXPERIENCE: Intermediate. There is a zip but no buttonholes. You need only plain sewing skills to make the dress, accuracy and neatness are essential. Follow the photo sewing tutorial closely for best results.

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS: For the fancy top stitching you will need a sewing machine that has some auto programmed embroidery stitches. Most machines have at least a small selection of fancy stitches. Alternately you can make the dress with plain stitching.

FABRIC: Most suitable are light to medium weight fabrics e.g. poplin, lawn, homespun, linen and similar fabrics. For a winter dress wool fabrics like fine gaberdine or crepe can be used. Choose prints that will allow the embroidery to stand out or you can make the dress in a plain fabric. Not suitable for bulky fabrics. 

FABRIC REQUIRED: All fabric lengths and trim details are given in the sewing tutorial. As well as fabric you will need glossy machine embroidery thread in a complimentary colour plus a range of trims.
