How to Cut and Sew a Ruched Shoulder Under-Bust Shirred Gathered Dress This beautiful dress features a deep V-neckline, cut-together sleeves with ruched shoulder ties, an under-bust shirred waist, and a gathered flare skirt. Materials Needed 3–4 yards of fabric Matching thread Elastic thread (for shirring) Measuring tape Scissors Pins Sewing machine Bias tape or facing for neckline Step 1: Take Measurements Bust Under-bust Waist Hip Shoulder width Dress length Sleeve length Step 2: Draft the Bodice Fold fabric into four. Mark shoulder width and dress length. Create a deep V-neckline in front. Draft a loose kimono/cut-together sleeve extending from the shoulder. Add 1 inch seam allowance. Step 3: Create the Ruched Shoulder Mark a line along the shoulder area. Slash and spread slightly for extra fullness. Sew a casing along the shoulder line. Insert a fabric tie or drawstring. Pull the tie to create ruching and tie into a bow. Step 4: Draft the Gathered Skirt Cut a rectangle 2–3 times your waist measurement. Length depends on desired dress length. Sew side seams. Run gathering stitches along the top edge. Step 5: Make the Under-Bust Shirred Section Mark a band 4–6 inches below the bust. Wind elastic thread into the bobbin by hand. Sew multiple rows ½ inch apart around the waist section. Steam lightly to shrink and gather the shirring. Step 6: Join Bodice and Skirt Gather the skirt to match the bodice circumference. Sew together neatly. Press seams flat. Step 7: Finish the Dress Finish neckline with facing or bias tape. Hem the skirt. Finish sleeve edges. Adjust shoulder ties and shirring.
