For tailoring you will need:

fabric - thick satin, 2 m;
interlining - about 1 m;
hidden zipper - 50 ... 60 cm;
thread, sewing tool.

Description

First of all, we need to make a dress pattern. To do this, we need the main pattern of the desired size. Let's take the patterns of the front and back bodice.

To transfer the tuck to the side seam, set aside 5 cm from the edge of the armhole along the line of the side seam and draw a straight line to the edge of the tuck. We make an incision along it, close the chest tuck, opening it in the side seam.

On the pattern of the shelves, we measure along the shoulder seam 6 cm from the highest point, expanding the neck. Then we sequentially set aside the width of the shoulder seam - 4 cm. From the bottom of the neck down we measure 9 cm, mark the point. We measure 8 cm from it to the left. We draw new form neck rollout.

On the pattern of the back, we set aside 6 cm and 4 cm in succession along the shoulder line. Measure down 10 cm along the midline. We draw a new line of roll-out of the neck of the back at an angle.

We cut off the excess, having received ready-made patterns.

For a sun skirt, we make a standard pattern for 1⁄2 or 1⁄4 patterns. If desired, you can increase the length of the top cut by 20 cm for gathering.

We cut out all the details, not forgetting to provide 2 cm for allowances. We have done the basting on the markup, you can not do this.

Blank for transfer - see photo.

Blank for the back - see photo.

We sweep the tucks (four on the shelf and two on the back), we build them up.

We remove the basting threads, iron.

We process the side cuts with an overlock

and shoulder seams.

We connect the details of the bodice along the side seams with a basting, stitch. We remove the basting threads, iron the allowances.

On the fabric (or paper) we lay out the bodice, deployed along the armhole. We mark the contour. Parallel to the contour, draw a second line at a facing width of 4 cm. In the next photo, the second line is indicated by arrows. Similarly, we make a facing for the second armhole and neckline (one piece for the front and two pieces for the back). Do not forget to provide for allowances on the shoulder seams, equal to the allowances on the back and front.

We have to carve out only 5 facings. We cut out the same details from non-woven fabric. We glue the interlining on the wrong side of the facings.

We sweep and stitch the shoulder seams on the bodice. We remove the basting, iron the allowances. We sew the shoulder seams on the facings in the same way.

We also remove the basting and iron it out.

We apply facings face down on the front side of the dress, sew with a basting seam along the edge of the neckline in front and back. We carry out a machine seam. When performing this operation, it is important to check that the shoulder seams on the lining coincide with the shoulder seams on the bodice.

We cut allowances.

We check the width of the facings, trim if necessary. We process the edge of the facing with an overlock.

On the front side, we sew a facing at a distance of 3 ... 5 mm from the stitching seam. The decorative stitch should not reach 5 cm before the back cut. This is necessary for convenient attachment of the zipper.

Pulling the lower thread, gather the edge of the skirt to a length equal to the length of the lower cut of the bodice. We grind the top and bottom of the dress, overlock the cuts, iron the seam.

It remains for us to complete the middle seam on the back of the dress. We first take one braid of lightning, starting from the neck. We attach using a special foot.

We close the zipper. We apply the mirror part of the back to the second zipper braid, controlling the coincidence of the horizontal seams on both parts. We cut off the detail of the bodice of the back with a zipper braid. Open the zipper, lay the basting seam.

Again we close the zipper and control the coincidence of the horizontal seams.

We attach the second braid.

We attach the facing to the zipper, cut off the excess fabric, turn it inside out.

We sweep the middle seam of the back on the rest of the length, stitch. We remove the basting threads, iron the seam.

To align the bottom edge, hang the almost finished dress on a coat hanger or put it on a mannequin. Since the direction of the shared thread along the skirt panel is different in different areas, the stretching of the skirt will also be different.

After 12 hours, we adjust the length of the skirt, measuring it from the floor.

Cut off the excess, process the edge with an overlock. We carry out a turn by 2 cm, iron it.

We lay a basting seam.

We sew the bottom of the dress, remove the threads of the basting, iron it.

It remains for us to fix the lower edges of the facing of the armholes and the neck. We fix them with pins.

We sew the bottom edge of the facings by hand with hidden stitches.

The dress is almost ready!

For the belt, we cut out two strips 4 cm wide, the length is the waist plus 0.5 cm for each seam and plus 2 ... 3 cm for the fastener. In addition, we cut out two strips 4 by 20 cm. We strengthen them with interlining. Sweep, stitch, remove the basting, turn inside out.

We got two parts of the belt - short and long. We iron them.

We make a bow from a short strip by folding it and sewing it in the center - see photo.

Cut off the excess fabric. We make a jumper, sew it on a bow. Sew a bow in the middle of a large part of the belt.

We turn inside open cuts belts sewn by hand.

At the left end of the belt we make a loop,

on the right - sew on a button.

Ironing the finished dress!

Retro dress from Karen Millen: video mk

Those years - a tight-fitting upper part, and the lower one is lush. The style emphasized the waist. She often wore a belt. To flaunt in such an outfit now, you need slim figure or corrective underwear, which will “pull” the waist to reasonable limits.

Cutting the fabric

If you sew such a dress for yourself, then you can walk in it on a warm summer day, as ladies walked in the fifties. From accessories you will need a small handbag, beads and a light gas scarf or a hat on your head.

Cut out the material first. For the dress, you will need about 7 meters of fabric with a width of 1 meter 10 cm. The back of the bodice is one-piece. This means that the fabric is folded in half. It is pinned to it with pins, while the middle vertical part of the back of the bodice is placed close to the place of the fold.

Remember to leave seam allowances when cutting. If in doubt about the size, then make allowances for the side seams a little more. If the first fitting shows that the dress fits well, then you can leave it like that. If it is a little small, then the line is made closer to the edge, and the dress will become a little larger.

When cutting the bodice, do not forget to mark the place of the undercuts. If you didn’t do it right away, then re-attach the pattern to the cut out fabric base and mark these places on the wrong side of the fabric with chalk.

The two parts of the front of the bodice are symmetrical. If it does not imply the presence of fasteners, buttons, then it, like the backrest, is also one-piece. In this case, sew a zipper on the back.

The fashion of the 50s is also fluffy skirts. In these models - it is flared or sun-flared. Attach the detail of this part of the dress to the fabric folded in half and cut out the front and then the bottom of the skirt.

If there are button fasteners in front of the dress, then the selection is cut out. Do not forget to cut out the belt, if it is available in this model.

Stitching parts

Baste undercuts and side, shoulder seams first. Now we need a sample. If the shelf sits well, then you can sew the seams on a typewriter. After that, the sides of the skirt are sewn and stitched to the bodice.

In order not to have to unpick, it is better to first baste the seams, and then sew them on a sewing machine.

If the zipper is on the back, then sew it on. It's time for the neckline. The neckline is treated with an oblique trim. The bottom of the dress is hemmed by hand or by a machine that performs this operation.

The dress of the 50s is ready. Now you can start creating the model of the 60s. At that time, a sheath dress was fashionable. These are clothes that fit the top and hips, unlike the previous style.

A light summer dress will emphasize your femininity and charm. And if you yourself know how and love to sew, then with our patterns you can easily create a comfortable summer outfit with your own hands. All year long we are waiting for summer, when you can wear light, airy clothes. Of course, we want to update our wardrobe with a beautiful summer dress, perhaps more than one.

Many will go on vacation, and new summer dresses, both short and floor-length, hand-sewn, are a must. Even if you yourself are not very good with a sewing machine, it is worth trying to update your summer wardrobe with patterns and instructions. We hope that you will like one of the proposed cut options.

Before starting the cut, let's look at the size options in order to know which size corresponds to which data.

So it will be easier for us to decide on a pattern, because the size of the product is not always mentioned. The table is clear enough for you to determine the size yourself.

In hot weather, a loose-fitting summer dress sewn with your own hands can come in handy. We sew a dress for the beach. For such a dress, fabrics such as silk, satin, linen, cambric, viscose, light acetate are suitable. Even the cheapest silk will do: silk satin, silk chiffon. But in no case is polyester, in synthetics the body does not “breathe” at all.

Keep in mind that viscose, especially when wet, tends to stretch in length when worn. And silk, like linen, always shrinks after washing.

Before sewing the product yourself, try to sew a small piece of this fabric, you may have to change the needle or thread in the machine. Needles are best bought by Schmetz and Organ. The size of this beach dress is 46-48. If you want to make a pattern for a different size, measure your bust. Further, on the pattern, instead of 25 cm (bust line), set aside ¼ of your chest girth + 1 cm seam allowance + 2.5-3 cm for a light volume of the figure. We do the same with the volume of the hips: instead of 27 cm (hip circumference), we set aside ¼ of the volume of your hips + 1 cm seam allowance + 2.5-3 cm for a light volume of the figure.

We choose the depth of the neckline. It is better not to make a big cutout right away, it is never too late to cut off the excess. We make the length of the dress at our discretion. Don't forget to leave the fabric for the drawstring, waistband and four small cords to tighten the shoulders. We ourselves mark with chalk the place of the belt-cord, it will be just below the waist. We draw the drawstring to the intended line. We adjust it from the front side, tucking the sections on both sides. If the drawstring is on the front side, then two longitudinal or round holes are made on the drawstring itself for the exit of the cord belt. We overcast the holes with our own hands. The belt-cord should move freely in the drawstring.

Next, we begin to sew the shoulders. We sew the shoulders so that there is a supply of fabric for the cord of 2.5 cm. We iron the shoulder seams and sew them, bending the fabric inward. We should get 4 drawstrings on two shoulders. We thread the cords into them, tighten them a little and tie them together. The shoulder is a little gathered. We hem the bottom, the dress sewn with our own hands is ready. Choose a fabric that is plain or with a large floral pattern, this is very important. We sew the selected classic model.

A dress with a peplum is a very feminine dress, it favorably emphasizes the features of the figure. Let's try to sew such a dress with our own hands in a simple and clear pattern. A peplum is a wide frill that is sewn on at the waistline. This dress will suit most ladies. So, ladies with low weight can visually increase the volume on the hips with the help of a peplum, and for full ladies, a peplum will help to hide the excess. In this case, the peplum should be sewn above the waist line. The only thing to remember is that these dresses look best on a tall or medium-sized lady. We sew Nice dress for summer.

Our pattern is given for size 50 (see table above).

The pattern includes a back (2 parts) and a cutting shelf (2 parts), the bottom is separate, this is a straight skirt, consisting of two parts. Basque is cut separately. On the pattern, the segments T1H1 and TN have the same length, which is equal to the length of the peplum. TT1 is the waistline. If you are sewing from thin fabric, then it is better to duplicate the peplum with lining material, it is possible from the main fabric. Then the Basque will keep its shape better. It will be original and interesting if the peplum has an asymmetric length: short in front, long in the back. Don't forget to baste and then sew on the zipper on the back of the garment. We do the processing of the neck and armholes, as in.

How beautiful and romantic dresses with a fluffy skirt look. This model can have many options, with and without sleeves, with an elastic band, with a zipper, and so on. The dress gently fits the figure in the waist area, and the maximum expansion goes to the bottom. It is quite possible to sew such a dress with your own hands. If you yourself are not very good at sewing, we would advise you to sew such a dress with an elastic band, then you will not have to especially adjust it to your figure. If you lengthen the sun skirt, then you get a floor-length dress. The skirt can also be made not so fluffy, for example, a semi-sun.

The pattern is suitable for size 48-50 (see table above). The fabric is silk, chiffon, satin, stretch cotton, and so on. If the length of the skirt is 55-60 cm, then with a fabric width of 140 cm, approximately 2.5 meters of fabric will be needed. In this model, a hidden zipper is located on the left side.

Sequence of cutting and sewing

After you have decided on the length and style of the dress for the summer, it is better to first make a drawing on paper. If you are a beginner seamstress, do not rush to cut the fabric, make a drawing, pin the paper together and try it on. If everything fits, then fasten the pattern with pins to the fabric, and cut it out, not forgetting the seam allowances (1-2 cm). The amount of allowance depends on the fabric. If the fabric "crumbles", you need to take more allowance. We lay out the details of the cut by choosing any share.
The armhole and the neck are finished with oblique facing. We grind all the tucks, iron them. Overcast the side seams of the bodice, grind them. On the left side, leave a hole for sewing in a zipper. Iron out the side seams.
Stitch and iron the shoulder seams.
We process the sections of the armhole and throat with a facing, tailored along the oblique.
We grind the seam of the skirt, pulling the seam with our own hands. We grind the seam not to the end, leaving room for the zipper. The sun skirt must be pulled down from the waist, it should sag.
According to the waist allowance, we manually perform the assembly, with a small seam “needle forward”. We are suing the waist.
We cut off the bottom of the bodice and the top of the skirt with pins with the front sides inward, combining the side cut.
We sew the bodice into the skirt. Sew the zipper into the side seam.
The seam of the connection of the bodice with the skirt is ironed towards the bodice.
Align the bottom of the skirt, hem it with a hem seam with a closed cut. We iron the bottom. The dress is ready.

According to the same pattern, you can sew a long dress to the floor. For example, here is a long floor-length dress with an asymmetrical sun skirt.

The cut of this dress is different in that we add the following part to the main semi-sun:

A ready-made pattern of a festive dress for 5 sizes and tips on modeling for a non-standard figure are in our next lesson.

Simple in cut, but very warm and comfortable, a free silhouette dress was created especially for the cold season. The model is made of soft textured knitted fabric and has several non-standard details: counter pleats on the sleeves simulate volume, large patch pockets cut across create geometry, the original hem of the lower edge adds lightness to the product.

The quality of the material that is used for tailoring is often the starting point when creating a product sketch. The density, elasticity coefficient and color of the material give rise to the designer's imagination of the outlines and silhouette lines of the future model. For our next lesson, we created a model from dense “heavy” dark plum synthetic jersey, and when working on the model, it was the material that dictated the silhouette of the dress. It turned out to be a product that can emphasize all the advantages of a female figure!

A one-piece sleeve is not only a very popular modern trend, but also an excellent solution for soft-shaped clothing, because the shoulder line of such a sleeve turns out to be a streamlined smooth shape, and the configuration of the shoulder slope and the width of the sleeve itself can be varied depending on the angle of the sleeve inclination during modeling. Let's take a closer look at what types of one-piece sleeves are, how they differ and how to model a one-piece sleeve with a gusset on your own.
