The Augusta Gown Pattern is designed with tiers of ruffles and full sleeves. The skirt is made with gathered tulle, lace or mesh. Add 2 tiers for a short skirt, 3 tiers for a mid length skirt and 4 tiers for a full length gown. The bodice is fully lined and can be sewn with or without a sheer overlay. It features a diamond neckline. The sheer sleeves can be sewn with 1 layer or 3 layers. If the fabric is drapey the sleeve will hang beautifully. For stiffer fabric or for a fuller look, add a few stitches to the top of the sleeve to tack the fabric in place. It gives the sleeves a full and flouncy look. Instructions are included with the option for no sleeves. This dress is elegant, showcasing the beauty of these sheer fabrics.

Is the skirt sewn seperately from the top of the dress?
