The original design of new patterns of elegant dress. A great outfit for every woman. Photos and instructions
A dress is the basis of every woman'swardrobe. Every woman should have a delicate and romantic outfit. Sewing a dress is not that difficult, the main thing is to do everything gradually. Today we will share the secret of creating a dress called "Blue Bird". It is ideal for a special occasion! Let's take a closer look at the sketch of the future product:
- In front is a subtle coquette.
- All vertical reliefs are narrowed to the bottom.
- The longitudinal seam has a godet wedge. Combined with the tapered cut, it gives the garment an elegant and sophisticated silhouette.
- A collar cut out on a scythe, and this is the main dress decoration.
- Looking at the dress from behind, we see that the back of the garment is open. The “peacock feather” draws the eye to the garment.
For sewing you will need the following materials:
- Approximately 7 meters of cloth, 1.4 meters wide. Matter should be thin, with a low tide, and to feel like an atlas.
- Beads for embroidery. By color, it should ideally match with the fabric.
- Silk lining. The lining should emphasize all the details of the product, and fully transfer the movements.
It would be better to choose a material that haswool - 70%, and acetate - 30%. Select beads in such a way that a "peacock feather" similar to a real one can be embroidered on the back. Let's proceed directly to modeling. Shelf and back. On the shelf, it is necessary to draw a correctly shaped yoke. The shape of the future yoke depends on your desire. Then, you need to draw a vertical relief (in the picture, this is a blue line), and move the darts along the waist line to it. Next, you need to outline the neckline on the back, but before that, we reduce the shoulder length by 7 centimeters. We draw a vertical relief on the fabric, having previously moved the dart along the waist line to it. Now you should draw a new shape of the neckline on the shelf, taking into account that the shoulder length has decreased. On the back, you need to draw a detail (the area is marked in lilac), this is where the peacock feather will be sewn in. Close the dart solution! At 7 centimeters above the knee, you need to draw a horizontal line - this will be the narrowing line. Then you will need to narrow all the reliefs to the given line. The overall narrowing should not exceed 6 centimeters, otherwise, the dress will be completely uncomfortable to wear, and it will be difficult to move.Sewing a yoke.For those whose chest circumference does not exceed 92 centimeters, then the modeling will be carried out using the following method. First, you will need to mark the line of the dart transfer (shown in red in the figure). Close the bust dart. Cut off the solution of the opened dart from the side cut. Align the side cut and the yoke from below. The yoke must be cut along the bias line, and if the fabric is selected correctly, then the material will allow you to make a yoke without darts. If the chest circumference exceeds 92 centimeters, then you need to transfer the dart to any other place from the marked lines (again, marked in red in the figure). The dart on the yoke is sewn up!Let's start sewing the collar.This detail of the product has a bizarre and complex shape. The photo shows the pattern. There is a fold strictly in the center on the front and back of the collar. It is along this fold that the oblique direction of the thread will be located (at an angle of approximately 45 degrees). The direction of the shared thread in the picture is shown by red arrows. The collar itself is created using the dummy method, from ordinary cotton fabric. After it has been basted to the future dress, and the future parameters have been clarified, the collar should be cut out of the main material. From which it follows that the collar is double. The lower part of the collar is glued. The collar should be sewn along the shoulder line. The lower and upper collars must be stitched along the outer edge. After that, the collar is basted to the neckline of the product and folded back. The fold lines and drawstrings must be marked. In order for the collar to fit properly in the neck area, you will need to immediately stitch two drawstrings up to the fold line, and then insert plastic bones into them. The lines of the drawstrings are shown in the diagram. After all the manipulations, the collar can be sewn to the neck. Let's start decorating the back. The presented photo shows an already decorated back detail. You will need two such elements. The upper detail is first glued, and then it needs to be embroidered. The second detail is cleanly turned in order to cover the wrong side of the embroidery. When the decorated element is ready, you need to baste two loops and attach another belt. The decorated detail will be fastened to the back of the product using loops, and the belt will go directly under the dress and fasten on the side. This is done so that the dress fits perfectly on the figure and along the waistline, and the neckline on the back does not move anywhere relative to the central part.Let's move on to building the "godet" wedge.What is it? The wedge itself is a certain sector of a circle. In the drawing, its height is marked with the letter H and is equal to the length from the narrowing line to the very bottom of the product. Choose the width of the wedge yourself, depending on the material and your wishes. In the pattern of the presented dress, the width of the wedge is 70 centimeters, marked in red. In this dress, all the godet wedges are sewn in. In order for the wedges sewn into the lining not to fall inward and not interfere with the fair sex when walking, they are sewn in so that they are directed outward from the body itself. How to sew in godet inserts correctly? This can be done when the bottom is hemmed. The seam must be stitched up to the godet hem mark. With the right sides facing each other, stitch the wedge to the side of the cut. The folded edges of the wedge and the skirt must match. Sew the other side of the wedge to the other side of the cut. The seam allowances at the hem of the lower part of the product are folded to the wrong side and hemmed. The seam allowances should be overcast. A little advice. The three back wedges can be made somewhat wider and longer than all the others. Then the dress will acquire an interesting effect, which is inherent in old images. It turns out in the end that the hem of the product at the back will be longer than in the front area. How to cut out all the details for the dress correctly? The front yoke, collar, and two middle back pieces must be cut out along the bias line. The remaining pieces are cut along the grain line. To make armholes, it is necessary to cut out facings, which must be glued and sewn to the lining of the future product.That's all.Use your imagination, because the dress can be complemented with interesting details that will make the image unique and unforgettable. It is only important to know the basics of cutting and sewing, and you can figure out the rest on your own. Adjust all the patterns to your body type, devote a little time and effort to sewing and you will get excellent results. If a peacock feather is not the detail you want, then you can come up with something else, no less elegant and sophisticated. It is only important to follow all the sewing recommendations! If you do everything according to the instructions, then you will get a wonderful evening dress.
