Of course, the appearance of any product directly dependsfrom the selected canvas for work. The simplest pattern of a straight dress is ideal for sewing items made of batiste, a staple, silk and even cotton knitwear, such as a cooler and interlock.
For dress fabrics that do not stretch, additional accessories will be required: buttons or zipper. But for knitwear, these elements may be needed only as an element of decor.
Calculate the right amount of fabric
What is the cut of material needed for the dress?This question becomes in front of every craftswoman, and inexperienced seamstresses often leads to a dead end. However, there is nothing difficult in calculating the required amount of canvas. First of all, you need to determine the length of the product, measure the chest straps, hips and waist and find out the width of the fabric. For example, for a non-standard figure with wide hips, the girth of which is 110 cm, the pattern of a dress of a simple cut of 50 size should be placed on the canvas. This means that the product will require one length of cloth 1.4–1.5 meters wide or 2 lengths 80 cm wide. Here you also need to not forget about allowances for processing the bottom of the product and possible tipping.
Removing measurements
To make the product ideally fit the figure, you need to take the measurements correctly. To build the pattern, the following values are required:
- grasps neck, chest, waist, hips;
- shoulder width;
- the height and solution of the chest tucks;
- front and back length to the waist;
- width of the back.
Building a Pattern
Immediately it should be said that the construction of the dress is notproduce immediately on the canvas. First, make a pattern, which after transferred to the fabric. For such a blank, you can take glued sheets of paper or ordinary construction film. The latter option is more practical if you plan to use the template many times. Pattern dress of a simple cut is built in a rectangle. In the drawing, a half of the front and a half of the back of the product are drawn by successively transferring the measurements.
The first stage of construction: a set of basic grid.It includes all the main lines: the border of the shoulder seams, the line of the chest, waist and hips, the border of the bottom of the product, as well as the vertical length. Initially, the pattern of a dress of a simple cut should look like a rectangle with horizontal divisions. Next, the drawing is detailed. In the upper corners draw the halves of the neck for the back and front. On the back of the extreme points overestimated by 0.5 cm. Further from these points, shoulder lines are drawn at an angle of 15 degrees.
After moving to the chest line and thereindicate half the width of the back and raise the vertical to the upper boundary. Next, the armhole zone is determined: the chest half-grip is divided by 4 and 2 cm is added. From the middle of the anterior side, half of the solution of chest tucks is laid and the vertical is raised. At the intersection with the shoulder seam put a point and lay 2-3 cm to the edge of the shoulder for tuck on the chest. The shoulder line is extended by the same length, and the tuck is closed with an auxiliary line to the starting point on the border of the chest. After draw a armhole. Pattern dress of a simple cut can be without talley darts, and therefore, the designation of the width of the hips will be the final stage of construction.
So, on the hips from the vertical bordersthe rectangle is laid at the об thigh circumference and put points. Then a side seam emerges from the middle of the armhole zone across the hips and to the bottom of the hem.
Modeling
To make the product beautifully fitto draw talevy tucks. Another option is to narrow it down and make a cut behind it or, on the contrary, flare it, giving it a trapezium shape. This option is the perfect dress patterns for beginners. Simple and easy to build, they very harmoniously sit on the figure. In addition, such dresses can be decorated with fashionable now flounces or basque at the waist. You can also add relief to the product by cutting the details of the cut into the elements. Also interesting is the option with a combination of color. For example, on a beige dress, black inserts on the sides will look original. Visually, this move will allow to stretch the silhouette, giving it grace and slimness.
Cutting canvases
Important points to pay attention to when cutting out fabric parts are as follows:
- the direction of the pattern on the canvas so that the dress does not turn upside down flowers;
- "Flowability" of the fabric, which requires wider seam allowances;
- linen shrinkage during washing (cotton linen is recommended to pre-wash, so that the product does not become small).
Когда все элементы вырезаны, остается лишь to collect the dress. First of all close chest tucks. Next, shoulder seams and handle the neck and armholes. Next is the turn of the side seams and hem products. All seams must be treated with overlock or zigzag. The neck can be drawn up with a scooped inset from the inside or with a full-fledged selection, duplicating the back details and in front of the cut-outs of the throat and armholes by about 5-7 cm along the contour.
Quite often for sewing gorgeous dresseslightweight cut is used. And a lot of fashion magazines confirmation. For example, the well-known publication, where a simple pattern is often used, is Burda. The dress is a long simple cut of elegant silk with a thin leather belt or the product of guipure with the finest delicate lining - these are the best products based on simple lines of easy construction.
