How I Drafted My Lina Dress Pattern (Step-by-Step)

Detailed step-by-step instructions showing how I drafted my Lina Dress pattern. This dress has an armhole princess line, high bodice neckline with an A-line six panel skirt. It has sleeves that are slightly flared with a few gathers in the sleeve, plenty of ease in the elastic-gathered bicep.
Although the original dress has buttons only to the Empire Line, in these instructions I draft the pattern with buttons all down the front.
I also cover cutting layout, order of construction and the drape of the skirt.

María, I am loving these videos showing the patterning for various dresses. I plan to do a dress with the Waratah bodice, the Magnolia skirt from this video, and likely the sleeve from the Waratah. The CF panel will be modified because it won't have any button placket. Now to check the fabric inventory to find suitable fabric.

Thank you so much.

Fantastic tutorial!!! I always mess up my princess lines on the skirt and that affects the hem-line. Thank you so much 💖 I would appreciate if you made a tutorial on a fitting /semi fitting princess line dress.
