Presented stylish blue swing dress- this is exactly the kind of thing for which you won't regret all the time you spent on it. Moreover, sewing such a dress will not be difficult, and you will look simply amazing in it. The secret is in the simple cut, as well as the draping along the neckline, which is often called "swing". Soft knitwear gently hugs the figure, does not require careful work on the fit, and also makes it possible to hide minor mistakes during sewing. So get to work, you will certainly succeed. It is necessary to create a swing dress pattern model according to the measurements that you personally must take. To make it easier and simpler for you to work with the pattern, below is an instruction that is available to all beginners. It is important to note that when the dress pattern is ready, it will need to be transferred to tracing paper. Be sure to save the paper pattern, with its help you can make many more different dress models. Modeling a swing dress pattern.First, the bust dart of the front partdress, and then move it to the middle of the front of the outfit. Draw a new line for the middle of the front of the dress. Move the dart at the waist to the side, and then iron it. The shoulder of the dress must be reduced from the armhole by 3 centimeters. Finish constructing a one-piece facing of the dress neckline along the front of the dress. To do this, draw a curved line from the neckline along the shoulder. Along the new shoulder line, set aside the length of the shoulder. This will be 6 centimeters. From the point we got, draw a perpendicular to the middle of the front of the dress. Set aside a length of 6 centimeters upward, and along the curved line of the shoulder - another 3 centimeters. Connect the dots with a straight line. Thus, we got a one-piece facing of our neckline. The back of the dress must be modeled according to the drawing. Now let's move on to cutting the dress. From knitted fabric you need to get:
- Before the dress (1 piece with a fold);
- Back of the dress (1 piece with a fold);
Seam allowances should be 1 centimeter, andthe bottom is 3 centimeters. If you want, you can leave the waist darts. In this case, our dress will fit your back more tightly. How to sew the cut out parts? First, baste and stitch the side seams of the dress. The allowances need to be processed on an overlock. We will process the one-piece facing of the front of the dress along the edge. Then turn it inside out and combine it along the shoulder cut. Baste everything. The allowances of the back neckline need to be processed on an overlock, then folded and topstitched. Baste and stitch the shoulder seams of the back and front of the dress. Process the armhole of the dress on an overlock, fold and topstitch. The bottom of the dress needs to be folded and topstitched with a double needle. Any novice tailor can sew the presented dress, since most swing dresses are very easy, they are recommended for everyone who is just beginning to master the skill of sewing. Of course, the work is even easier when you have ready-made decades for the dress.Let's start with the pattern of the swing dress If youIf you are going to cut a stretch dress and sew it using a knitted seam, then you should not add seam allowances. Cut out the pieces beyond the outline line. Note that you can cut the presented model either without darts or by marking the darts with truncated tops. To save fabric, the cutting should be done in two steps: cut out the front and back, folding your fabric in half along the width of the layout, and then fold the fabric in half along the width of the sleeve pattern. Cut out the sleeve. When you fold the fabric, do not forget that the edges should be parallel to each other, as well as to the edge of the table on which you are cutting. Well, and the most important thing is to make notches at the side points of the neck and sprout. Without this, the product will not be able to be assembled. If you are working with wool, silk or other non-elastic fabrics, be sure to make seam allowances. Such fabrics are more loose than stretch, so they require different seam treatment. Seam allowances should be as follows:
- Side, middle, shoulder, as well as neckline and front-back sleeve seams - 1 centimeter;
- The swaths and the pellets do the patterns behind the stroke line. From the bottom of the sleeve no more than three centimeters;
When cutting, the fabric is folded in half,aligning the edges. For the "Jack" layout, we cut the sleeve along the bias line. At the side point of the neck and the sprout, notches are made along the entire width. Here is another very easy and simple version of the swing dress pattern. This model has a counter fold in front. To sew the presented model, you can use either stretch fabric or any other.
Let's look at the cutting where it is usednon-stretch fabric. Before purchasing fabric, it is recommended to first make patterns and then perform a preliminary layout. It is important to take into account all the necessary allowances in order to get an accurate calculation of fabric consumption. Cut the shelf along the waist and get a pattern for a straight skirt. Mark the waist on the patterns using notches. Attach the lower part of the shelf to the fold of the fabric, stepping back to the fold. The most optimal allowance for the counter fold is from 16 to 20 centimeters. If such an allowance on the fold does not go along the width of the fabric, then the lower part of the shelf should be cut only after the back and bodice of the shelf have been cut out. Fold the remains of the fabric in the most compact and economical way.
It is important to note that the smaller allowance for the counterthe fold looks very bad on the finished product. If you have a lot of sewing experience, you can make a more complex version of the skirt. The swing dress is cut in two steps: the back and the bodice of the shelf are cut in the first stage, and the lower part of the skirt, the fabric in the spread, is cut after. For the presented dress, you can cut both a "sun" skirt and a classic "alyanka". It is constructed as a rectangle, where the height is the length of our skirt, and the width is the length of its hem. That's it. The dress is ready. But there are still a few points that need to be clarified. When you choose the fabric, remember the useful advantages of stretch. It does not need a zipper, which makes cutting the dress, as well as sewing it, much easier. Also, do not forget about the disadvantages of all stretchable fabrics. If your figure is not perfect, then all its details will become public knowledge. So you will have to use corrective underwear to hide all the flaws. But on the other hand, sewing a dress with your own hands allows you to save a lot, so you are completely free to please yourself with new things.
Here are some more general tips for everyone,who will work with the patterns of the swing dress. It is best to sew such a dress from jersey. Make the pattern correctly. Its correctness depends on the swing neckline. It is best to make a full shoulder cut in advance. If you have chosen knitwear, then the dart is most often unnecessary. From the top of the dart, draw a perpendicular to the middle of the bodice. Make a cut along this line, cutting towards the top, and along one side of the dart. Do not reach the top by 2 millimeters. The side dart can be closed with a pin or tape. Measure the depth of the neckline. The recommended depth is 15 cm. When you have decided on the depth, put it aside from the top cut to the middle line. Put a mark. It needs to be connected to the shoulder near the base of the neck.
