Light and beautiful dress made of delicate chiffon– here is the perfect outfit even for the hottest summer. This beautiful two-layer underdress will not only give you coolness, but also give you a feeling of airiness and flight. The pattern of the chiffon dress is quite easy to model, and the sewing process itself will not take you much effort or effort. Even if you have not done serious patterns before, such a dress is a great start. The presented model was sewn from lilac material, but you can also choose a simple white color, believe me, the dress will be just as beautiful. You can also combine colors, choosing exactly the range and tones that will best decorate your appearance. Let's move on to creating a model of the pattern of our dress. It is created like any other base for a dress. First, let's model the front of our summer dress. Transfer the bust dart to the side line. It can be shortened a little by about two centimeters. Do not do the waist dart. After you have modeled the neckline, put aside two centimeters from the middle of the armhole to the right, and eleven centimeters down along the center front line. Now you can model the outer layer of the dress from chiffon. Down from the waist line, lay ten centimeters and mark the hem line. Cut the waist and bust dart along one side. Close our bust dart by simply gluing it. The bottom of the bodice is designed according to the pattern. The neckline of the bodice should be copied from the presented patterns. Model the back of our light dress. The flap part of the bodice should be copied from the back separately. The lower edges of the parts are copied from the flap part of the front. These are our AC points.For cutting out the details we can use the followingmaterials: regular chiffon, stretch chiffon or crepe chiffon. Fabric consumption is approximately two meters, its width should be 145 centimeters. From our fabric we need to make the following parts:

Two details with a fold for the front half of the dress. One is needed as a lining;
Two more details with a fold to create the back half of the dress. One part is used as a lining;
One piece with a fold for the outer part of the gear;
One detail with a fold to create an external detail of the back.

Additionally, you need to cut out three diagonal strips.fabric to trim the front neckline and armholes with straps. Each strip should be three centimeters wide, the length according to the measurements. Allowances of one and a half centimeters should be left at the bottom and for the seams. Before you start sewing a dress, you need to carefully read the rules for working with chiffon. Such transparent fabrics are a type of material that is quite difficult to work with, especially for beginners. This is mainly due to the cutting, since it is very difficult to transfer the contours of the pattern to chiffon with ordinary tailor's chalk. The fabric constantly "creeps", which means it is constantly shifting relative to our original pattern. If you have just started a long journey in mastering sewing, then it will be very difficult for you to work with chiffon. Even experienced dressmakers sometimes suffer for a long time with this fabric. But the end result will certainly be worth the effort. But chiffon is not so scary. There are secrets that can make sewing a dress from this material a little easier. Below are some of the most popular and useful tips.To prevent the chiffon from slipping, the table is pre-you need to cover it with a thick cotton fabric or a blanket, and do the entire cutting process only on it. In this case, your chiffon fabric will no longer slide and shift, and the pattern will go faster and be more accurate. Additionally, you can pin the pattern to the chiffon fabric using many pins. Much more than with a regular pattern. Then the distance between the pins will be much smaller, the pattern itself will fit tightly to the fabric, and you will be able to make a neat and correct pattern. If your fabric is dark, then transfer the contours with a thin, sharpened tailor's chalk of white color, if the fabric is light - use yellow chalk. If by chance the contours in some area are erased, you will be able to very quickly determine the seam lines. The main thing to remember is what allowance you made. Most often, allowances are made along the folds by one and a half centimeters. All dart lines on our fabric must be marked using special copy stitches. To make them, first you need to fold all the pieces in pairs, with the right sides facing inward. Attach the paper pattern piece on top. Using the forward needle stitch, mark the contours of the dart. Pull out the loop on every second stitch so that its height is equal to two centimeters. Now you can remove the paper piece. The pieces need to be spread apart along the seam line, and then carefully cut along the seam. There should now be laid snares on both sides of the seam. Make all cuts slowly. There should be clear contours of the darts on the front side. Let's go back to our lightweight chiffon dress. On the front halves of the outfit, you need to stitch the bust darts. Since our underdress is two-layered, the side seams need to be stitched separately on the bottom and top layers. The lower dress is used as a lining. Sew the side seams on the upper flyaway bodice of the dress. Process all allowances carefully and neatly. The lining, that is, the lower layer of the outfit, should be shortened by four centimeters at the bottom. The lower allowances of each layer should also be folded and stitched. Fold and stitch the allowances at the bottom of the flyaway bodice.Let's move on to the final stage of sewing a dress fromchiffon. All three layers of the dress should be folded exactly along the armholes, as well as the necklines of the front and back of the product. Sweep these layers, and then sew your dress as a simple single-layer dress. Carefully process the neckline using a bias facing. Do not forget to trim the allowances before doing this. In the middle of our neckline, but from the inside, the facing needs to be re-stitched to the corner. Process the armholes, as well as the upper back, using a bias facing. Do not forget to trim the allowances before doing this. Without interrupting the lines, stitch the straps, and fold the open edges of the facing to the same width as the fully finished facing. Adjust the length of the straps for yourself, then stitch them to the back, in accordance with the markings.One more important piece of advice.In order for the straps to be adjusted in length, sew the already finished short strap pieces to the back. They should match the tone of our dress. Afterwards, sew our main straps, which were sewn from the facing, to these pieces. That's it! The chiffon dress pattern is complete. Now you have a great light summer outfit that you will feel great in. It is quite simple, but its elegance and style will only emphasize your femininity and your figure. Wear it with pleasure and always be charming!
