Very often, girls who want to get into theirwardrobe exclusive outfit, decide to sew it yourself. For those who have the appropriate skills, this will be quite easy to do. But novice dressmakers need to look for simple styles.One of these can be considered an open summera dress made from cotton, chiffon or linen. For a more complex model - with sleeves - you will need a detailed pattern and an experienced eye to adjust it to your measurements.Progress of work.Let's start by choosing a model and creating a pattern. Think through in detail the elements you would like to see on your dress, and then try to depict it (approximately possible) on paper. Take measurements: the length of the product and the shelf of the upper part along the back - from the neck to the waist, half-girths of the chest, hips, neck and waist, shoulder width. Think about the style. You can even go to the store and try on interesting dresses, "spying" on the darts and gathers. Choose a material with the necessary color, density, ease of edge processing. The finished pattern is adjusted to your dimensions and transferred to the material using chalk or a piece of soap. We recommend laying out the fabric pieces on a spacious area (for example, on the floor), so that you do not have to move the unfinished product, the pattern itself is attached to the fabric with pins.The pattern is cut out and basted, the edgesare processed using an overlock to avoid fraying and twisting. We do another fitting, after which the flaws are corrected. The elements are sewn with a machine, the bottom is tucked in, processed, as well as the armhole, decorated in accordance with the preliminary sketches.Those who prefer variety shouldtake on sewing a transformable dress. Due to the variations, you will change your image daily, amazing everyone with your individuality. When choosing a material for a summer transformable dress, we recommend that you pay attention to materials containing lycra - it gives the product elasticity. An analogue here will be stretchy types of knitted fabric. A width of 1.4 meters is enough for girls who wear clothes of size 44-50. Choose the length in accordance with the length of the future dress + allowances for processing the edges. Fold the material in half and cut. You have become the owner of two rectangles.Using chalk or a piece of soap, step back fromMark twenty centimeters of the top edge, which will be our future armholes. Sew the elements to these marks from the bottom. Next, you should hem the hem of the dress, the upper part of the skirt should wait in the drawstring to the width of the tape, which is then tucked into it. That's all! Together with the dress, you can put on a belt under the chest and at the waist. You can also shift the armholes to 1 shoulder or straighten them on both.One of the variations on the theme of a transformable dresscan be considered a straight gathered skirt made of a sewn rectangle of material and two wide long strips sewn on top of each other with a small indent in the middle. Such strips of material are tied around the top in several ways, forming one or another image of a summer outfit.
