NattyJane's Dress Variation, Part 2: Cutting

Fabric and Notions:
1 1/3 yards main fabric
1 1/4 yards lining fabric
(These amounts are the same as are listed for the original dress pattern because most of our pattern pieces are about the same size. Although, you may want to lay out your pattern pieces and measure to make sure before you buy your fabric).
20" invisible zipper
Lightweight fusible interfacing
Buttons (Remember, the button placket we added when altering the pattern is an inch wide, so choose buttons that are less than an inch in diameter).

Pattern Pieces:
1 Center Front, 2x main, 2x lining, (I also cut 2 two inch strips of interfacing to apply to the button placket area for added stability).
2 Side Front, 2x main, 2x lining
3 Back Yoke, 1x main on fold, 1x lining on fold
4 Back, 1x main on fold, 1x lining on fold
6 Front Skirt Panel, 1x main on fold, 1x lining on fold
7 Back Skirt Panel, 1x main on fold, 1x lining on fold
10 Collar, 2x main on fold, 1x interfacing

When cutting pattern pieces, make sure to mark all darts and pleats on your fabric.
