Subject: What is the easiest style of dress to make and what is the most difficult (e.g. three panel, multipanel, soft skirt, etc.) If you had a client with a budget of $1500 but no specific style in mind, what style would you recommend and why?

Three panel, because there are established, solid patterns for this. What I would reccomend depends largely on the skill of the dressmaker--each of us is best at something. (NT)No nameMonday, July 21, 01:00:59am

I would not go for threepanels because they are not in fashion right now. For $1500 you you get a more contemporary style, like a multipanel (NT)DMMonday, July 21, 01:58:26am

Three-panels are easiest because, as said before, you can follow existing patterns. You can make 3-panels up to date quite easily by dropping the waist and making the right fabric choices. (NT)Don't diss the old faithful 3-panel ... LOLMonday, July 21, 04:44:15am

Agree with above posts. Bring back three panels no petticoats. (NT)DMMonday, July 21, 09:25:40am

At NANs in both daughters groups there were a fairly large number of 3 panels. I would guess 25-35%, not old frumpy ones, either. (NT)3 panels are classicMonday, July 21, 11:32:07am

I'd reccomend a 4-5 panel, something like this: http://www.dance.net/topic/7259228/1/Irish-Photos-Misc/My-Dream-Dress-has-FINALLY-Arrived.html I think that dress is STUNNING and classy... (NT)what I would reccomendMonday, July 21, 04:21:19pm

5-panel with soft skirt. At least in our region, 3-panel is out of date, even though we may want it to come back. You can buy many extremely nice 3-panels on dance again for much less than 1500. (NT)don't make a new 3-panel nowTuesday, July 22, 02:35:05am

But the question by the op is which is the easiest or the most difficult. Not which is the most current. Thought everyone knew three panels are not current. (NT)DMTuesday, July 22, 11:08:48am
