From Gunnar Deatherage:
The Vespertine Gown is a retro inspired evening gown. This sewing pattern features a sleeveless option as well as a gathered puffy sleeve. The skirt can be crafted long, or short with marked cutting lines. The godets create a fullness to the skirt that give volume like no other.
This dress features the option for a high neck collar, an optional puffy sleeve, the option to shorten the skirt, a keyhole at the center back, and 11 beautiful godets for maximum flow. I wanted to note that for this sample dress I decided to double the godets, meaning I cut 22 rather than 11. If you wish to do this, you will want to double the fabric needed for the godets. IF you do decide to double your godets, I will show you how to do so in the instructional video. I always encourage adding your own touches to the garments, which is why I add these little alterations/ tips and tricks to help you along.
Recommended Fabrics: Gunnar suggests tulle nettings, light weight beaded fabrics, chiffons, charmeuse, georgettes, or any lighter weight woven fabric. Choosing fabrics is one of the most exciting parts of making your own clothing, so have fun with your fabric choices!
