Hi, I’m planning on drafting a pattern for a column dress with princess seams, but I don’t want a waist seam nor the skirt to be paneled. I know that such patterns exist, i.e. the ones attached, but I’m having a hard time conceptualizing how the seam allowance around the princess seam would be added. Would I have to cut through the princess seam until the end of what is essentially the skirt dart and pull it slightly apart? Wouldn’t there be barely any space left especially around the bust point?
I don’t know if I’m making sense lol sorry, it’s wrecking my brain a little as to how it actually works. If someone has a picture of what the pattern piece with seam allowance would look like I’d appreciate it, just to get an idea.
