The flow

Pattern, the same pieces in cloth, then the dress.

How these images are made

The cloth step takes its colour and weave from the garment's own photo, so a check reads as a check and a floral as a floral. It shows the pieces in the garment's main cloth — where a blouse is cut from two, a plain body and a woven border, only the body is shown, because which piece carries the border is not recorded on the drafting sheet. Treat it as the colour and cloth to order, not as a lay plan.

The photos arrived on a dozen different backdrops — studio white, a kitchen, a wooden table, a fur rug. Every garment has been lifted off its backdrop, so all three steps are drawn on this page's own surface instead, in whichever theme you are reading in.

Taking it to the cutting floor

On a phone take the PDF — each model is one page carrying all three steps and its cut sheet, and it opens in the viewer the phone already has. Single images work anywhere too. The zip is for a computer: nothing on a phone opens one without another app.

Before you cut

These are net patterns. Add your own allowances.

What the sheets do not carry

Finished-line outlines only: no seam allowance, no grain line, no notches, no size label, no scale. Trace at your own size, add +1.5 cm side and shoulder, +4 cm hem, mark the grain along the centre front, and cut a toile first. Each model lists the pieces its sheet carries and the ones still to draft.
