Material consumption for the viscose dress

  1. Decide how long your viscose dress should be, after the cut you can sew a mini dress, but also a floor-length dress. When you have decided where the hem of the dress should go, measure the distance from approx. 1 cm below your armpit to the hem of the dress.
  2. Add 8 cm, that's the amount of fabric you need. If the fabric is very thin, you can double the top, in which case add another 25 cm. Example: length armpit - hem: 80 cm + 8 cm = 88 cm, if the top is not double, 80 cm + 25 cm + 4 cm = 104 cm, if the top is to be double-layered.

The calculations are based on a fabric width of 130 to 140 cm, which is sufficient for a dress size of 44/46. If the fabric is narrower or if you have a larger size, the bills are not correct.

  6. Now wind rubber sewing thread onto the sub-bobbin. Set a long stitch length. Quilt a short seam on a test piece. This should curl evenly due to the rubber thread. You may need to experiment a little with the tension on the upper thread. Test this out in peace before you continue sewing the clothes. At the beginning and at the end of each seam, make sure that the bobbin thread cannot slip out.
