4 - Transfer pattern markings to fabricFold the facing pieces in half again and pin together (right side facing). Pin the paper pattern piece in place. Use dressmaker’s carbon paper and tracing wheel to transfer the pattern outlines (seam lines) and all other lines and markings, apart from the grain line, onto all pieces (see carbon paper for exact instructions).

I designed Elyse’s dress off of the BurdaStyle Jenny Dress Pattern which was the perfect template for what Elyse wanted: A low V in the front, an empire waist, and soft cap sleeves.

It keeps me sane and makes me happy! A friend told me that if I was going to live in LA, I had better have something to do that had zero to do with “the businessâ€.
