The presented light and airy summer dresslooks very impressive. Sewing such an outfit will not be difficult, and even a novice seamstress can handle the task. This dress in the summer wardrobe will not be superfluous. What material is better to create this wonderful outfit? The dress is best sewn from linen or light satin. A little advice! By changing the color of the belt, you can completely change the look of the outfit. The dress is presented in the safari style, but if you change the belt to purple or bright red, and complement the look with stylish accessories, you will get a fashionable look for a summer party. The main measurement for constructing a pattern is the hip circumference. Consider the following: if your chest circumference is larger than your hip circumference, then the main measurement will be the chest circumference. Let's start constructing the pattern. First, draw a rectangle whose width AB will be equal to the hip circumference, multiplied by a factor of 1.4 (seam allowance). If you want to make lush gathers on the product, then you need to multiply the hip circumference by 1.6. The height of the rectangle will be equal to 65 centimeters.The length of the frill is equal to the width of the dress AB, and the height is 12 centimeters (excluding seam allowances). What details need to be cut out?
- First piece (dress) – 1 piece;
- Second detail (frill) – 1 piece.
Dress seam allowances:1.5 centimeters along the short and one long side of the dress frill, along the bottom and top of the product and the top of the frill - 2.5 centimeters. Let's start sewing the dress. Sweep the vertical seam on the panel of the future outfit. Sew the edges together and process. Then iron. The bottom of the dress should be folded, tacked and stitched. The bottom edge of the frill also needs to be folded and stitched. Now fold the dress frill over the panel of the dress, baste along the edge and now sew as one piece. Fold the allowances along the top edge of the outfit and the frill, baste and stitch. You only need to leave a small area open to thread the elastic. Pull the elastic 2 centimeters wide, adjust its length. Try on the resulting dress. Sew the ends of the elastic. Sew the open area of the drawstring. The first model of the most beautiful outfit is ready. All that remains is to choose the right accessories and you can go on dates or just for walks. Another model of a summer dress will look spectacular and wonderful on the fair sex. A stylish and fashionable dress can be worn to the theater or to a party. The main thing is to choose a contrasting material and decorate everything with accessories. The dress will be very easy to sew according to the pattern. First, you need to take your own measurements in order to start sewing.On the pattern of the front half we measure 12centimeters from the bottom point of the armhole along the side seam. Draw a horizontal line. Cut the pattern along the resulting line. Divide the neckline of the front part of the future dress in half. From the top of the bust dart, draw a line to the resulting point. Cut the pattern of the future outfit along the line and along one side of the bust dart.Align the bust dart of the outfit on the sidesand glue them together. Round off the resulting section using the pattern. Fold or gather any remaining fabric that appeared during construction. Redraw the back pattern. Measure 12 centimeters down from the armhole along the side and draw a horizontal line. Cut the back pattern along the line. Measure 2 centimeters from the edge of the shoulder on the two halves – the front and back – and draw a new armhole line for the outfit using the pattern.Process the neckline together with the armholesdresses. Sew a concealed zipper along the middle seam of the back. Cut the collar of the outfit with a fold. The dress is completely finished and ready to go out. Complete the look with stylish jewelry. For example, a gold bracelet or earrings, and you will become irresistible. Now let's talk about the third model of a summer outfit. Today, almost all outfits can be sewn using ready-made standard patterns, and accessories will complement the unique look. Often, standard patterns are for a standard figure, so before sewing the product, you should adjust the pattern to your own parameters. Even beginners can sew the presented summer loose dress. A noteworthy fact is that patterns can be drawn directly on the fabric.To create the outfit you will need:
- The fabric is 1.80 meters long and one and a half meters wide;
- Yarn;
- Scissors;
- Chalk or remnant;
- Pins;
- Sewing machine (optional);
- Centimeter;
- Iron;
Preparing the material for work.Iron the fabric, slightly moistening it with water. Take measurements. You need the chest circumference and the length from the shoulder to the knee. Fold the fabric in half to cut out the front and back at the same time. Take chalk or soap and start drawing the pattern on the fabric. It is best to draw the pattern from the evenly cut edge of the panel. Draw the silhouettes. Find the middle of the fabric and start drawing from there. On the pattern, change two numbers to suit your size: 46 (this is the half-girth of the chest, to which 2 centimeters are added) and 95 (this is the length to the knee). For the neckline on the back, measure 3 centimeters from the center to the bottom and put a dot. From the center, put aside 8 centimeters to the right and left sides. Smoothly connect the dots. For the frill of the dress, cut out two rectangular figures measuring 150 centimeters x 35 centimeters. To design the armhole and neckline cuts, cut out facings or bias tape. Fold the facings with the right sides together and sew along the edge. Turn inside out, fold the edges and sew.Let's start sewing.Sew the shoulder seams, iron them, and then overcast them with a zigzag stitch (by hand or on a machine). Process the neckline, and only then sew the side slits. It is better to decorate the armholes with facings or piping. You can try on an intermediate dress model. Add a belt. You can make a version of a belt with an elastic band, or you can create a belt with two girths. Let's stop at the latter option. For the belt, cut a strip of fabric 4.5 centimeters wide and choose the length yourself. Now fold them in half, tuck the edges inward and stitch to the very edge.We are preparing the frill.We connect two parts of the frill together to get a length of 3 meters. We overcast one edge so that the threads do not crumble, and then we sew a seam on the machine without securing the threads at the very beginning and end. This must be done so that by pulling the ends, you can gather the material. Similar actions can be done by hand. We gather the frill up to 140 centimeters, and make sure that the folds are uniform. We pin the frill to the bottom of the outfit. We fold the bottom part, put the edge of the frill under the fabric of the product and sew.Now you need to process the bottom of the frill.You can overcast it, turn it up and hem it. If you don't have an overlock, you can simply turn the material twice and sew it. Try on the resulting dress.The third dress model is ready. Now the happy wearer can amaze her loved ones and complete strangers on the street with her outfit.
