Master class on sewing a floor-length evening dressdo it yourself Most women have at least 1 evening dress in their wardrobe, the cost of which is usually high. Therefore, you can try to sew an elegant evening dress yourself. It is absolutely not difficult to do. Our tips will help you with this. In this article, we will tell you in detail how to sew a luxurious and comfortable floor-length evening dress. I would like to note that the proposed version of the dress is very seductive, but not vulgar, but has a classic component and is very bright. So, let's begin.In sewing women's dresses it is very important to be rationalselect a fabric material that will become its highlight. In the proposed master class, it was scarlet silk satin. We need a little more than 2 m of it. We also need to prepare a stretch mesh. At the very beginning, we need a pattern of the future dress, which we will transfer to tracing paper.The pattern needs to be transformed. First, we model the front of the bodice. We need to provide a cut-off side and an insert made of lightweight material.Then we transfer the dart to the chest so that in the end,it was opened along the relief line. And only then we apply a new line of the dart. Next, we cut the tracing paper along the marked dotted lines coming from the shoulder level, and close it.We draw the relief dotted line right to the very end.We need to cut the bodice along the end line and glue the dart on the chest, which goes from the shoulder.We make a cut in the front of the dress along the line located at the waist, to the point that has relief. We close the dart at the waist, create a model of the back of the bodice, applying possible cutout lines on this detail.In the same way, we draw a yoke from the shoulder area.Using scissors, we divide the resulting parts diagonally, make a dart on the back side of the product, taking into account the conjugacy of all lines.We model the bottom of the dress. We draw a level line along which our skirt will narrow, stepping back 45 cm from the waist. We subtract 2 cm on the sides and the seam in the middle to ensure narrowing.At the bottom of the dress we measure the desired length and extend the side line. At the same time we flare the side by 20 cm in relation to this straight line.The same actions must be performed on the sides,line in the back of the future dress, flare it in the same way. For a flare, we additionally close the dart located at the waist in the front part, as a result of which we will increase the flare. We move the side fold line apart by 4 cm andwe process with glue from the back side. In order to qualitatively draw a model of central folds on paper, you can apply the template at a distance slightly further than the fold line of the fold width.We begin to lay out the parts obtained on tracing paper on the fabric material.We cut out all the details, making an allowance of 1.5 for seams.We make the parts already cut out of fabric morehard interlining, and then we process the cuts with a 1.5-centimeter adhesive tape. To add hardness to the middle seam, we use stretch interlining. We make strips of this material along the more elastic side. The width of the strips is 3 cm. We recommend interlining the parts in 2 approaches: first, we work with an iron without using steam, and then with steam.We sew the line without going behind the fastener and start gluing the elements from the middle seam. The edges need to be overcast immediately.We pin and baste the darts on the waist line. Considering that we have taken a rather delicate fabric, we need to very carefully fix the ends of the lines.At this stage you iron the center seam and darts.Let's move on to the zipper: first we baste it, and then sew it in the designated place.We begin working with the elements of the upper back, smoothing out their middle line.We trim the neck from the back side. To prevent wrinkling, we cut the seam allowances in places and turn it right side out. We clamp this place, manually create the shape of the edging. We turn this part inside out again and insert the mesh element of the specified part. We pin the layers and then sew them together.Turn it right side out and iron it carefully. Reinforce the diagonal of the back with interlining.We need to pin and then baste the top and bottom of the back of our dress. Let's start working on the front of the dress. Sew the darts on the chest. Note that the dart needs to be ironed upward.In the front of the skirt we pin the folds planned on the sides and in the center. We connect the skirt of the dress with the bodice by basting, then we stitch and iron it so that the edges are folded upwards.We determine seam allowances on transparent partsand attach them. We begin processing the edges of the product, located with the mesh facing up. The allowances need to be ironed in the direction of the opaque fabric. Using the same principle, we connect the two parts of the dress (the side with the central one).We will need a facing cut out of paperpatterns for finishing the front of the neckline. We take the main fabric, make a pattern for the facing with seam allowances in the neck area, and leave the outer side without them. We reinforce the facing with interlining, and leave the outer edge overcast.Sew the facing onto the neckline and cut it outseam allowances. To fix the facing on the neckline, we direct the seam allowances towards it, then stitch 3 mm from the seam. We finish working with the neckline by smoothing it out.We begin to process the diagonal cut lineat the back of our dress. Take the pattern, fold it so that the darts are closed. Put some tracing paper underneath and mark the dotted line of the facing on it. We process the back neckline of the dress in the same way as its neckline.We recommend sewing the shoulder seams with an overlock.Iron the allowances towards the back. Take the mesh and cut strips from it along the diagonal line, the width of which is approximately 3 cm, and process the armholes with them. Sew the resulting strips to the outside of the dress, leaving a 4 mm seam allowance. Iron the strip. Process the edge with a machine stitch, go over it with an iron. Work on the armhole is finished.We also process the side seams with an overlock, smooth out the allowances in the direction of the back. We process the lower part of the dress with a Moscow seam.We decorate the neckline with a hook as a decorative element, and our elegant dress can be worn to the next party!
