Pink bow wrap mini: cloth for the knot's folds, and the cascade

Sleeveless fitted dress with a wide boat neck, a low hip seam, a pink wrap overskirt knotted under a bow at the right hip, a cascade from the knot and a cream underskirt.

Front and derived back drawing of a sleeveless pink dress with a low hip seam, a wrap overskirt knotted under a bow at the wearer's right hip, a cascade falling from the knot and a cream underskirt showing below the hem. — Front as in the photo; the back is derived.

What was wrong

The first automatic reading described a waist seam, a centre-front bow and a balloon skirt. After a hand correction, reviews found that the pattern had no cloth for the folds that spread from the knot, that tying the knot would pull about 9 cm out of the opening edge, and that the cascade in the photo was missing.

What changed

The overskirt is now a layer that opens at one seam. Three pivot pleats, hinged on the side seam, open 20, 25 and 30 mm at the knot and close to nothing at the side seam, so the fullness sits at the knot. The cascade is a separate lined piece, sewn to a straight edge from the knot to the tip. All three changes are in the shared engine.

Twelve-piece size 36 cutting pattern, including the front overskirt with three pleat wedges, the cascade, the underskirt pieces and two bow strips. — Cutting pattern, size EU36: twelve pieces, among them the overskirt with three pleat wedges, the cascade and two bow strips.

Result

Digital review passed on 7 October; the plain underskirt change was accepted the same day. Re-checked on 10 October after later shared fixes: the bow tail strip is 20 mm shorter, with about 50 mm still to spare. Also checked in sizes EU34 to EU44; only EU36 is offered as a download.

Still open

The back, which the photo does not show, the lengths and the fabric are assumptions.
