We make new clothes in our summer wardrobe with our own hands. Pattern of a fashionable dress with a smell without difficulty. Instructions and photos
The dress is a must-have in any business wardrobe.lady. It should be simple and at the same time refined and elegant, but emphasized strict for the office or business meetings. A deep, beautiful smell is not unacceptable by the dress code, because the neckline can be draped with a light scarf or a special top if necessary. In order to correctly model the sewing of the presented dress model, you will need a special pattern, which must be constructed according to individual measurements. You will also need a pattern of a tapered sleeve of this base. Let's start sewing an original wrap dress in an office style. Changes on the back should be minimal. It is necessary to note the approximate length of the future product. In the photo you can see that the length of the dress will be slightly above the knees. If everything suits you, continue sewing. A new hemline should be drawn. The silhouette of the skirt will become slightly narrowed, only by 1.5-3.0 centimeters. Darts along the shoulder lines do not need to be made. However, if you have a stooped figure, and the fabric you have chosen is not elastic at all, then it will be better to do them. The pattern of the shelf will be needed for construction in the expanded form. On the shelf, in addition to the bottom line and the tapered silhouette, there are other modifications. The solutions of the chest darts must be transferred from the shoulder line to the side. The lower area will have the width of the wrap to the far corner of the dart solution. The edge will be vertical.The top part at this width will have an angle,which is slightly beveled to the center line, as much as the skirt will be narrowed. The shelves will start from the closed solutions of the chest darts along the neckline. Do not forget that it is necessary to adjust the width of the neckline on the back piece. The depth of the neckline directly depends on the shape of the wrap, or rather its upper area. In the presented case, they are drawn straight. As a result, you will get a relatively shallow neckline, and this is good for a business woman (the intersection turned out to be approximately four centimeters above the chest line). For a more voluminous neckline, the lines need to be drawn with concave smooth lines. Now, on the upper piece, straight folds will be drawn. There are three of them. The left half of the shelf should be cut along the pre-drawn fold lines. The resulting parts must be moved apart by 5.0-8.0 centimeters (the value is twice the required depth of the folds). As a result, the shelf will be cut from two parts - left and right. The back will be cut out in only one folded copy. The collar of the presented wrap dress is created in the form of an incomplete stand, which ends somewhere at the level of the collarbones. It is cut out in the form of a rectangle. Its length is the length from one collarbone to the opposite one across the entire back. The height of the collar is two necessary heights of the stand in the finished form.Moreover, such a dress has its own ties inin the form of a belt. It can consist of two parts that are connected at the back and tied in the form of a bow at the waist. If one part is used, then the dress will be tied with a bow that has one loop. The shape of the belt is shown in the picture. Each part of the belt can be cut with a fold or from two symmetrical halves. The belt loop has its own width - one, and the length - three to four centimeters in finished form. On the pattern of a tapered sleeve, the dart is closed along the elbow line. Special lapels are made on the sleeves of the product. They will turn out slightly flared - by 1-2 centimeters. The length of the lapel is five to seven centimeters. The lapel must be duplicated in order to process this cuff-lapel in the future. When cutting, do not forget about seam allowances. On the back and on the two halves of the shelf, the darts will be closed. On the back - waist, on the shelf - chest. On the left area of the shelf along the smell line, the folds will be laid so that the length of the two parts becomes the same everywhere. The folds should be simply pinned or secured with a special stitch along the allowance. The side and shoulder seams are stitched. If the neckline was designed with straight lines, then the processing will take much less time, and therefore it will be much easier. Along the two smell lines, the allowances are folded to the wrong side. If the neckline was designed with concave lines, then the facings should also be cut. Do not forget that it is necessary to sew an incomplete stand along the neckline. Then it should be glued with interlining. The exception will be the seam allowances. Then everything is folded in half lengthwise. The allowances should be folded inward.In this condition, the rack needs to be ironed.For reliability, you can also baste the allowances, each to the desired side. After that, the stand will be placed over the neck so that the allowance is inside. Since the allowance on the shelf is folded inside out, the stand will slightly overlap the product itself, literally by two or three millimeters. In this state, it must be basted, and then be sure to stitch it. The short sides should also be stitched. This option is possible. All sides of the stand will be stitched at the same interval. The facings must be applied to the cuffs of the sleeves with the front sides facing. In this case, the allowances of the facings must be folded outward. It is better to glue the cuff and the facing with interlining, the exception will be the allowances for the seams. Thus, the applied facings are stitched on three sides, and then turned inside out. At the end, they must be ironed well. After that, you can machine stitch along the four sides of the cuff, but the distance from the edge should not change (one or two millimeters), or you can fasten only the unstitched side. Next, the lower seam of the sleeve is stitched, and now the sleeves can be sewn in. The lower edge is folded over, for this purpose, a special blind stitch is used. Now you should make a final fitting and determine the exact places for attaching the folds. In these areas, the lower right half will be attached to the left. A button at the waist is sewn onto the upper part from the inside, and a loop is sewn onto the lower part, on the edge of the fold. In the place where the upper left side is attached, a belt loop should be sewn onto the lower part, and a belt should be sewn onto the upper part. The wrap dress for business meetings is ready!
