Assembly Instructions
Before seaming, block your pieces to the schematic measurements and baste the seams. Check that the neckline passes over your head, the hips have walking ease, and the hem clears the floor in your intended footwear. The belt shapes an otherwise straight silhouette.

Join 2:Mark 26 row ends down from each shoulder on both front and back. Center each sleeve’s last row at the shoulder seam. Ease half the sleeve width to front, half to back. Pin four equal sections and sew.
Join 3:Close both sleeve underarms. Close body sides from below the armhole marker to hem, leaving the bottom 26 row pairs open on the left side for your slit.

Finishing Your Dress
Weave in all ends, passing each tail through at least 5 cm of adjacent stitch backs. Reverse direction and repeat, then trim after checking that everything is secure.
Damp-block flat to the schematic dimensions. Pin scallops evenly and support all garment weight. Avoid heat on acrylic content and avoid pressing the textured stitches flat.
Let the dress dry completely. Fit it over your intended lining and inspect each seam, cord end, and bead if you added them. Fold for storage instead of hanging long term to prevent stretching.
Care Instructions
Follow your yarn label for specific care. Hand wash cool with mild detergent, support the garment while wet, roll in a towel to remove excess water, and dry flat. Remove any detachable embellishments first. Inspect sewn beads before each wearing.
Keep in mind that long garments, tassels, and open lacework can snag. Keep clear of machinery and flame. Shorten the hem if it drags on the ground.
