How to Use a Directional Print for the Starburst Skirt

Want to use a directional print for your Starburst Dress, like this cute heart print that Melisha bought? Here's how to change the grainlines so all your hearts go in the same direction!
Please watch the video here: https://youtu.be/XMiXzkieZI8
A couple notes:
1. You'll need to repeat this process on all skirt pattern pieces, including the lower gores.
2. I did a quick test of the layout for this approach, and it turns out you may need slightly more of your lower gore fabric (which contradicts my speculation at the end of the video, whoops!). I would suggest adding another 1/2 yard to your cart when shopping to be safe. You'll be fine with the same amount for your upper gores.

Hope this is helpful!

Hey Melissa, the starburst dress goes with all Lamour bodices. One option is the bodice sash and shoulder drape. To modify it, instead of doing the drape down the back , attach the shoulder piece to the bodice and do the same on the other side.
This is an old post so I hope someone sees this... I do not like having bare upper arms and was wondering the best top to put with this Starburst skirt pattern. I was thinking of the Rita blouse with the Bishop sleeve expansion. Thoughts?
The straps that are on her dress with the pika dots and in the Video. Where are they. I was told the Lamour dress so I bought it and it’s still not there. And they didn’t come with out he starburst pattern. Can someone please please help me find them
