Printing
For the A4/ US letter:
The file will be tiled, and is best printed from Adobe Acrobat. Make sure files are printed at actual size. There will be a test square for you to check sizing on the front page. The pages will then be taped together with either the bullseye, or diamond motif depending on which pattern is purchased
For A0 or copy shop files:
The file is meant to be printed on 36" wide paper. some of the older files are copy shop format, meaning its one long roll, and Fedex is a great option for this, although we really enjoy printing any of our large format prints at https://pdfplotting.com . They can handle both the A4, and copy shop formats, and are a great budget friendly resource! There will be a 2" test square to ensure the pages have been printed at the correct size.
Fabric & Supplies
Fabric Notes:
Recommended Fabrics:
Chiffon: Perfect for the ruffled elements, adding a delicate and airy quality to the dress. It could be layered over a more opaque fabric for modesty.
Silk or Silk Blends: Provides a luxurious feel and fluid movement, perfect for the ruffled details and the sophisticated yoke. Consider silk charmeuse for a glossy finish or crepe de chine for a more subtle sheen.
Lace Fabrics: Lace can add a touch of elegance and romanticism to your blouse. Whether you choose a fine, intricate lace or a bolder, graphic pattern, it can be used as an overlay or for distinct parts of the blouse, like the sleeves or peplum, to create a striking contrast.
