The ruched neckline of this blue Smooth ballroom dance dress is a beautiful design element. Both the gathers and the skirt are made with a non-stretch polyester charmeuse.

Charmeuse is one of my favorite fabrics because it doesn’t wrinkle much and has a slight sheen without being too shiny. However, since charmeuse is a non-stretch fabric, I don't often use it on the bodice of a dress.

Dressmaker Tip #1: When sewing gathers (aka "ruching") with a non-stretch fabric, I suggest you cut the fabric on the bias. Generally, woven fabrics cut on the bias make prettier gathers than when they are cut on grain with no give whatsoever.

Stay tuned for more details and the written blog release soon!
