What do I need to know for sewing a dress-transformer?

We need to figure out the color of our dress.It matters. For transformers, it is worth choosing fairly solid colors. These can be gray, black tones. They help to recreate the appearance of having a large wardrobe. If you choose a soft or bright color option, it is worth combining the dress with other color solutions. In our case, we will try a more complex choice: a dress made in green polka dots. This color is ideal in combination with yellow, black and even things made in gold shades. Next, you need to choose a fabric. It should have very high-quality knitwear on both sides. At the same time, the density of the fabric should be high, but at the same time - be very flexible, stretch well. In the standard width for the canvas, we choose a segment of 1.5 meters. For this, you will need fabric 3 meters long. Next, you need to process the dimensions. To do this, they need to be removed. The original material will be a skirt.

Skirt

The main advantage of the transformer isthat you have the opportunity to make a skirt in any shape and choose the necessary length. If you want to choose a universal value in the form of a little below or a little above the knee, you can use the remains for a tunic. Those who prefer long dresses for the floor will be able to create a dress for a gala evening or reception. Now, we decide on the length. To do this, we need to use a centimeter, which is applied to the waist and after - a measurement is made in the required length. In our case, it was 50 centimeters. Next, we try to measure the circumference for our waist. The number must be divided by 3. We got 15 centimeters.

Top Dresses

To sew the top, we will also need to measure the length. Let's try to measure the girth in the chest area. It turns out to be 90 centimeters in our case. In length, it turns out to be 38 centimeters.

Dress Belt

So, next we work with the belt. To do this, we need to make the girths in the lower part, just below the waist. Your skirt will be located there. In our case, we got a value of 68 centimeters.

Tie for dress

This is the key part for our dress.With the help of a tie we can make different versions of cutouts and collars for our future dress. There is no dependence on the size of your dress. or the parameters of your body. In this case, the ties can have standard values and sizes. The material for working with the pattern can be seen just above. DIY transformer dress - ties. Ties are the most important detail of the dress. It is with their help that you can create different cutouts and collars. Regardless of the size of the dress and your parameters, the ties can be of one standard size. We have indicated all standard sizes in the pattern below.

Top Design

After cutting out the dress, smoothlywe move on to working with various parts. The first thing that catches your eye is the top. To work with the cut, you need to fold it into two parts and baste it lengthwise. Next, you need to try on the material. After that, you may have to cut off more fabric from the piece. Next, you need to sew on an elastic band near the top of the top. We create a drawstring that is inserted into the elastic.

Stapling the belt

To process the waistband, we need to fold the top inhalf, and then - stitch and, of course, turn it inside out. Then, you need to overcast the ties along the edges. You should definitely make sure that the knitwear is of high quality. If it is of sufficient quality, you will not need to overcast the material. Next, look at the fabric. If it does not break or crumble, all the threads are in place, then you can do without overcasting.

Stitching the skirt

Next, we work with the skirt.For the hem of the skirt, it is worth hemming and stitching the material to get a drawstring option. Also, for the waistband of the skirt, it will be necessary to make an elastic band that will be used in the material. By the way, it should be wider than the one in the top. Also, do not forget about the knitted seam, which is better quality. Zigzag is a convenient option. But it is still better to choose overlock stitching. Now everything is ready. It remains to collect the details of the materials for the dress. They need to be fastened together to get a single version of the dress. First, baste our ties to the skirt. After, you need to lay the skirt on the floor and in those places where the belt will be located, you also need to lay the ties. This must be done in such a way that their ends are at the bottom, to the hem of the skirt. Next, you need to place them at an angle so that they overlap each other. For overlapping, choose a length of 10 centimeters. Next, we baste the tie materials. Afterwards, we need to take the belt and sew it in the place where the details of all the parts are connected. Next, we sew the top to the upper part, where the belt is, on its inner side. Afterwards, we stitch the dress using a machine. Here is our version of a transformable dress ready.
