Reply To: Ease for pullover dress

hmmmm…..have you considering using an invisible zipper, that way it’s less visible? If you’re not going to use a zipper, I would recommend making a muslin with cotton so you can experiment with fit. The point of princess seams is to provide something fitted and to give it shape but you might have to add a lot of ease so you can put it on and it might not look as you’re imagining. Another option is finding an apparel fabric that has some spandex in it or using knit, plus using stretch lace instead. I’m just thinking that a linen dress with no fastener is going to be really baggy.
