We will try to find something interesting for the summer daysa dress option that will become a distinctive part of our wardrobe and will be used in the necessary places. Such a dress can be worn to a beach party, for special events or just to decorate your appearance with airy colors.Here you will find a method for creating a simple andsurprisingly easy dress that you can make yourself. First of all, you should pay attention to the fact that this dress requires certain knowledge in working with patterns and sewing. However, with constant practice, sewing such an option will be quite simple. So, let's get to our work:
We select fabric
The selection of fabric is carried out in terms of lengthdresses according to your height, adding another 15 centimeters for processing. The width of the fabric should also be of particular importance. In our case, for such a dress, the parameter of 140 centimeters should be selected. Otherwise, your dress will look too droopy and straight, which in turn is completely unsuitable for a light dress.
Fabric processing
We begin processing the fabrics.To do this, you need to cut it using the waist line. In this case, you need to measure the length of the skirt at the bottom, add 5 centimeters to this value and cut it with scissors.
Pattern of the upper part
Next, we begin cutting out the top part forour future dress. In this case, you can take any pattern option from a simple top, or choose something that will be interesting to you from blouses. In our case, you can also take a thing from the wardrobe that suits you perfectly and simply redraw its values on paper. This is the simplest option for constructing a summer dress, which you can easily do yourself and without difficulties. Also, you will not need to deal with various darts or zippers for the future dress.
Pattern skirt
Let's get started with the skirt pattern.In this case, we need to take the rest of our fabric, and then fold this material in half. In the opposite part from the folds, it is necessary to measure a value of 10-12 centimeters, which will go towards the folds of the fabric. This is necessary for the smell of the skirt. Then, we put the length down, it should be equal to the smallest length value for the future skirt, while adding a couple of centimeters to this value. After, at the corner point and through it, we must draw a diagonal line that ends in a semicircle. Next, we make a pattern of what we got. We carry out basting, then try on the dress layout and make corrections according to the values of your body. If everything looks great, you can start the sewing procedure.
Top processing
Dress processing begins with the shoulder seam.It is necessary to create a straight line for the seam and then overcast this element using a zigzag. If you have an overlock, then use it. Next, we process the neck. In this case, you need a snail foot tool. It will help to immediately bend the necessary thin fabrics in the value of two times. It will come out very beautifully and most importantly, it looks easy.Next we work with the side seam.Its design is the same as the shoulder. Straight stitch for our seam, and then, overlock or zigzag processing. We work with armholes in the same way as with the neck. Snail foot as the main tool and double hemming. Thus, we have finished processing the upper part for the future dress.
Lower part processing
Next, we work on the bottom part of our dress.To do this, you will need to use an overlock or a double hem, like the neck or armholes. Then, you need to sew the bottom of the dress to the top. You also need to prepare an elastic band in advance for fixation, which will make our dress light. That's it, the dress is completely ready.
The result
In order to process the dress, it is necessarytake the time to iron each seam. The transparency of the fabric is also important. If your dress is too transparent, you can sew a less transparent fabric to the dress element so as not to create awkward situations for others. Everything is quite simple, and such a dress will be a comfortable solution at any time of the summer season.
