Before you start choosing a modeloriental costume, it is important to understand in which direction you intend to dance. If it is Egyptian style, then it uses suits with different styles of skirts. But in Egyptian folk dances ("Shamadan", "Belledi") you can also find bloomers or dresses that either tightly fit the figure or are completely shapeless.In Turkish dances, girls perform in harem pantsor in skirts with large cutouts. You can also find skirts that flare out towards the bottom. In this article, we offer you a description of the sewing features of the main parts of an oriental costume. Here are the styles of the main types of skirts that are used in an oriental costume: Photo No. 1. A semi-flared skirt or a flare with 1 slit.Photo No. 2. Semi-flared skirt (in the front) or flared (in the back) with 2 slits. Photo No. 3. Skirt in the shape of a fish.Photo #4. Petal skirt. Photo #5. Straight skirt.And here are the main details of the Turkish costume Photo No. 6. Turkish harem pants.Photo No. 7. Petal skirt with deep cutouts. Pants (Turkish and Lebanese styles). Photo No. 8. Skinny trousers that have flares from the middle part of the shin and do not have a belt.Photo No. 9.Tight trousers that have flounces and do not have a belt. So let's get started. Let's get acquainted with the features of sewing flared and semi-flared skirts. To cut a half-flared skirt, you will need two – two and a half meters of light fabric, and for a fully flared skirt you will need about four meters of fabric, the width of which will be at least one and a half meters. Regarding measurements, you will need measurements of the line below the navel, as well as the length of the skirt itself (from ankle to hip). When cutting the fabric, it is necessary to take into account the insertion of elastic (two - three centimeters) and three centimeters for hemming the lower edge of the skirt, as well as for processing the entire hem line. When sewing a flared skirt, you will need to fold the material in two layers, and if you intend to sew a flared skirt – then 4 times. To sew a flared skirt, you are unlikely to be able to find fabric that is two radii in width. Therefore, we advise you to cut out 2 half-suns, leaving one centimeter on each side for the side seams. Then you need to draw lines on the fabric, as can be seen in photo No. 10. You need to measure your hips along the line where the top of the skirt begins. For a loose fit, you need to leave ten – twenty centimeters. For example, this number will be equal to ninety centimeters, that is, this will be the “width” measure. It is equal to two "pi" * radius, while “pi” = 3.14, and the radius is equal to the radius of the circle that you will need. 1. When sewing a flared skirt, the radius is L / 2 “pi” (with a width of ninety centimeters, this figure is equal to fourteen point three centimeters). 2. When sewing a half-flare skirt, the radius is L / “pi” (with a width of ninety centimeters, this figure is equal to twenty-eight point seven centimeters). 3. When sewing a half-flare skirt in the front part (a quarter of the product), the radius is L / 4 “pi” (with a width of ninety centimeters, this figure is seven - eight centimeters, and for a flared skirt - eleven - twelve centimeters). If you draw the roundness of the hips and draw the edges of the skirt in parallel, that is, draw the same distance between them, then the semi-flare pattern will turn out to be in the shape of a semicircle with a connector for the hips (photo No. 11), and the flared skirt will turn out to be a solid circle with a connector along center (photo No. 12). This way you will get a skirt with tailsand folds, as shown in photos No. 1 and 2. Next, we process the seams to insert the elastic, as well as the seams on the sides. Then we hem the edge with sparkles or sequins. Before hemming the bottom of the skirt, it needs to hang straight on the trempel for at least one day. We sew bloomers. To cut out bloomers, you will need one and a half – two meters of light fabric. With a fabric width of at least one and a half meters, a height of one hundred and seventy centimeters and a hip width of about a meter in volume. When sewing, you will need to cut the fabric into two equal parts, fold the material into two layers, applying them to each other (photo No. 13). Next, unfold and place both halves with right sides in the middle (photo No. 16). It is worth paying attention to points A, B, C, D. The result is 2 trouser legs that are not connected at the side seams. At this stage, you can sew a solid one from points A and B, C and D, or you can lightly grab it in a couple of places, creating original holes in the side of the trousers, from which your beautiful legs will be visible. You can decorate the holes themselves with sequins, beads and other decoration elements. Then we put the elastic band into our bloomers,the diameter of which should be equal to the volume of the hips, and the rest of the fabric will add folds. We also put elastic bands through the bottom of the trousers to gather them up. We sew a petal skirt. When creating such a skirt model, there are many variable components. These are the number of petals, their very shape and length, the number of layers of the skirt that are superimposed on one another, the color palette of the petals and the layers themselves, and so on. In order to determine the width of 1 petal, you need to divide the hip circumference by the selected number of petals of the first row. The petals themselves need to be connected at the very top so that during the dance they can all flow freely. The simplest shape for a petal will be a regular rectangle. The simplest petal skirt – This is a rectangle of fabric that is wrapped around your hips and held in place by an elastic band. When creating the length of the cut, you should take care of convenience and comfort while dancing. Naturally, the more complex the petal skirt is in its cut, the more beautiful it will look when dancing. Petal skirts made from chiffon look most impressive. When calculating the required amount of fabric, you should definitely take into account the centimeters for hemming and elastic.To enhance the effect of such a skirt, you candecorate the edge of its wedges with beads or sequins. We sew a fish skirt. Having decided to sew just such a style of oriental skirt, it is best for you to use fabrics that have good stretch, but at the same time easily return to their original shape. The simplest version of a fish skirt can be sewn from 6 wedges, the length of which will reach the ankle. The wedges must be sewn together along the hip-knee line. You can sew additional wedges into the cuts themselves, shaped like a semicircle or a quarter. When you make the pattern, also keep in mind that the radius of the circle itself will be equal to the length of the cut into which you plan to sew another wedge.Sewing a belt.No less important details of the oriental costume are the belt and bodice, which are most often made in one direction, harmonizing with the skirt, but having different colors and decorative elements with it. The belt pattern itself has a slightly curved stripe, the width of which is ten - twelve centimeters. The length of the stripe should be calculated as the sum of the hip volume + five centimeters for the fastener, which is most often created at the back + a couple of centimeters for shrinkage, which will occur due to the decoration of the belt.But for more experienced craftswomen, we can recommendcreate a belt of a more complex shape. In order not to get confused in the stages of sewing a belt for an oriental costume, you should consider the following basic steps: 1. Choose the shape of the belt, put it on the base, cut it out on paper, and then make a pattern from fabric. 2. Choose a pattern, apply it to the fabric base, decorate it with sequins, glitter, and so on. 3. Attach a fringe of beads.4.Attach a beaded lining, which will make the belt stronger and cover the back of the embroidery. 5. Create a fastener (button, hook, velcro). 6. Choose a spectacular fabric, as well as material for creating fringe on the belt of the suit.Thus, we have introduced you to the peculiarities of sewing the main elements of the oriental costume. We wish you creative success!
