The vertical reliefs in the front and back help create a fitted style of the dress. The neckline and armholes are finished with facings. The accent in this model can be recognized as a narrow belt made of black leather, trimmed with a small bow. As for the length, we choose the traditional option - just below the knees. Now you can get to work. We are making a pattern for a sheath dress. A pattern with vertical reliefs is suitable as a basis. In accordance with your model, shape the neckline and armholes. If your own knowledge is not enough to design a dress, take a ready-made pattern. For a sheath dress, you can use the model from No. 10 of the Burda magazine for 2009.Sewing a dress. 1.Fold the material in half along the edge, face inward. Using chalk or a thin piece of soap, transfer the outlines of the elements. Make one-centimeter allowances on all sides for the seam. Carefully cut out the elements of the dress. 2. Before starting to sew the front and back parts, baste them and try them on. To do this, fold the elements of the back part face inward and sew a seam by hand, stepping back ten millimeters from the edge. Do the same with the front part. After that, baste the seams on the sides and shoulders. Try on, eliminate flaws and adjust the dress to your figure.3.Once you have finished trying on the garment and have corrected any shortcomings that may have appeared, you need to separate the seams on the sides and shoulders, and stitch the relief seams using a machine and overcast the edges. The finished front and back parts should be ironed thoroughly.4.We fold the front and back parts with the right sides together, align the cuts, pin the seams on the sides and stitch ten millimeters from the edge. We overcast the cut. Just keep in mind that this action should be done with one side seam, and a hidden zipper should be installed in the second.5.We align the edges of the shoulder cuts, pin them together and sew them together. The edges should be overcast and ironed well. 6. In accordance with the shape of the armhole, a pattern for the facing should be made. If it is made up of 2 parts, the sides of the ends should be sewn together. Next, our product is turned right side out, the facing is applied to the armhole, pinned together and sewn on, and for a free cut, we make an overcast edge. Now the facing is turned inside out, a piping is made and the facing is fixed in the required position using blind stitches.7. We process the neckline in the same way. 8. We align the bottom edge, overcast it, fold it over by five millimeters and then lay a finishing line.Well, that's it! The elegant sheath dress is sewn!
