What little girl doesn't dream of becoming one daya real fairy princess? And every caring mother embodies these sweet childhood dreams in beautiful dresses for her daughter. Thanks to simple patterns and techniques for cutting a smart dress for a girl, any dream will come true. But when you look at a beautifully dressed girl in a dress that has many different flounces, you wonder, how can I do the same? Well, let's find out. First, you need to sew a skirt with flounces. Let's start building a pattern for a simple 6-wedge skirt. The main thing is to make a wedge with a grip, take into account a small gathering at the waist. Also, on one of the wedges, make a seam in the middle. This will mark the middle of the girl's back. Naturally, before you start cutting, you need to take measurements from the child. For example, we will choose a girl 116 centimeters tall. Her parameters: chest size - 57 centimeters, waist size - 55 centimeters. In this case, the size of one wedge will be as follows: the arc at the top will be 16 centimeters long, the arc at the bottom will be 68 centimeters, the total length will be 70 centimeters.For sewing you will need the following materials:
- Organza. The length is 7 meters and the width is 3 meters;
- A pliable elegant fabric for our skirt. Its number depends solely on the age of the girl, her height and weight. Self-calculate the consumption of fabric for a successful pattern.
Let's move on to creating the shuttlecocks.Flounces will be sewn onto each wedge of the skirt. As you can see in the drawing, the lines and their flounces are marked in different colors so that you do not mix anything up when sewing. The wedge must be drawn according to our drawing. Mark the green line, making an indent of 9 centimeters from the lower end of the skirt. The lower horizontal flounces must be sewn onto the green lines. Now carefully draw 15 radial lines on our wedge, starting from the green line. Make eight lines smaller, indenting 16 centimeters from the upper edge of the wedge. These are our red lines. All other lines must be marked in blue. The vertical flounces must be sewn onto our newly formed blue and red lines. From now on, we will call them red and blue flounces. If you do not want to make such a large number of flounces, then divide the wedge into as many segments as you need. You can also draw the wedge from below less, thus reducing the number of straight lines to which the flounces are sewn.Shuttlecocks are simple circles that havedifferent internal radii. However, the width of each shuttlecock should be exactly 10 centimeters. We cut the circle in one place exactly along the shared thread. Then stitch it along the inner line of the circle. Check the length of the red line on your wedge drawing. This is the length of the inner circumference of the shuttlecock. According to the formula, the length should be 2πR, where 3.14 is taken as the value of π. Now calculate the inner radius of our red shuttlecock. Its outer radius will be ten centimeters larger. Sew one red shuttlecock to one red line. Also measure the length of the blue line on the provided drawing. Divide the resulting value in half. This will be the length of the inner circumference of our shuttlecock. Calculate the radius. Blue shuttlecocks are joined together in pairs. Two connected shuttlecocks must be stitched to one blue line.Let's take care of the green line.Measure its length according to the drawing, divide the value by two. You will get the circumference of the green flounce. Use the same diagram to determine the inner radius. All the green flounces are joined together, but they need to be stitched to the green line only when our skirt is completely sewn and all the vertical flounces have been stitched to it. Now we need to do the cutting and sewing of the skirt. Cut out all six wedges of our skirt. The hem must be done with a narrow straight stitch. Cut out all the necessary flounces. You should have 96 blue flounces, 48 red and 12 green. Sew two blue flounces into one. All the green ones must be joined together. All the outer edges must be processed with a rolled seam on an overlock. Go along the inner arcs of the flounces with a simple overlock seam. For convenience, arrange the flounces in separate piles so as not to get confused and know which flounce needs to be sewn and where. After that, sew the vertical flounces to their lines. At the end, sew the last strip of green flounces to the horizontal line. Make the bodice of the dress. It is very important to make a seam at the back, in which the fastener will be placed, that is, the lacing and zipper. You can make the bodice either on a corset base or a simpler one. To make the bodice, you will need:
- Elegant swimming cloth. The length is from 0.3 to 0.8 meters, width is 1.4 meters. The amount of tissue you take in the calculation of the child's parameters. For our girl, the height of 116 centimeters was enough 30 centimeters;
- Lining fabric. 50 centimeters long, width - 1.4 meters;
- Guipure cloth with clearly legible fragments;
- Spiral bones. Only four pieces. Two to 20 centimeters, the other two to 16.5 centimeters for the side and relief shelves. Also four plastic bones for a rod with eyelets, each 14 centimeters;
- If you do not find the right color for the fabric, take also a paint to tint the parts. Also fastener, lacing, bead, eyelets and, if desired, crystals.
Method of collecting the bodice.All the details of our bodice are duplicated with fusible fabric. Connect all the elements of the bodice. Of course, it is worth considering that the dress is made for a child to grow into, so do not forget to leave an allowance under the lacing. In our case, it will be 7 centimeters, if you calculate the amount for both halves. Cut out the details from guipure. You can always buy ready-made fragments that will match the color of the dress. Or paint them with paints, creating the necessary shade. Sew all the details to the bodice. Embroider them with beads. Also make straps, for ease of ironing, pinning two ends to the ironing board. When it is stretched, it is much easier to iron. Pick up the skirt at the waist and sew it to the resulting bodice. Sew a zipper into the seam, both on the back of the bodice and in the skirt. Attach the straps to the front of the bodice. And add a lining to the top of the bodice. Sweep the lining along the top of the bodice. Carefully add the bodice lining to the zipper and waist by hand. Now you can decorate the top with beads. Attach the straps to the back of the bodice and sew the guipure details to them. You can also use these details to create a decoration for the girl's hair. For greater effect, decorate the bodice with charming Swarovski crystals. That's it. Our wonderful elegant dress is ready!
