Liz from British Columbia, Canada, who has made this pattern in everything from silk to fleece, shares this modified construction sequence that she devised to make it easier to sew the dress on a serger and so the dress can be painted or appliquéd as a whole:
- Do not stitch shoulder seams or tops of sleeves, as directed in Step One of the pattern.
- Stitch Front Side Panels to Mid Side Panels, as directed in Step One of the pattern.
- Stitch Mid Side Panels to Back Side Panels, as directed in Step One of the pattern.
- Stitch underarm Sleeve seams to notch 4, as directed in Step Three of the pattern.
- With right sides together, pin and stitch combined Side Panels to Sleeves, matching notch 4 at center of Mid Side Panel to notch 4 on Sleeves, as directed in Step Three of the pattern.
- Stitch Side Panels and Sleeves to Front, as directed in Step Four of the pattern. Then stitch to only one seam on the Back. At this point, the whole dress can be laid out flat and painted or decorated as desired.
- Stitch final Back seam.
- Stitch shoulders and top seams of sleeves from neck edge to wrist.
- Apply Yokes, as directed in Step Two of original pattern. Liz has also modified the pattern to insert a front zipper, for ease of dressing.
