Patterns and tailoring do-it-yourself

Universal fitting style for more than a decade emphasizes the charm of a female figure. It is considered to be the basic element of the wardrobe. And if an elegant sheath dress has not settled in your closet, it's time to rectify this situation.

Below are the patterns of different models of this style, which are sure to suit your taste.

It is enough to add one element to a classic dress, for example, a basque, so that it plays in a new way.

Only the upper part will be modeled, the skirt will remain classic, so the pattern is cut along the waistline:

1. On the details of the waist line measure up to 3 cm and cut the belt. Tuck glue.
2. Set aside 6 cm from the depth of the armhole line and draw a relief. Depending on the physique and desire, the number may vary. Understand how best to model the relief, you can, if you attach the pattern to yourself and put a dot at the mirror.
3. Shift the waist thrusts and cut the front lines and the back along the created relief lines.

Shoulder tuck on the front of the bodice cut and close. A small tuck formed, which also close.

Model the armhole, putting 5 cm over the shoulder section from the neckline. Now draw new lines.

To simulate a basque, calculate the radius, which is equal to 1/6 waist circumference and build a semicircle. It remains to postpone the length of the part and hold the second semicircle.

Now cut the fabric and sew the dress.

The fitting case will be significantly transformed due to the vertical fluffy shuttlecock with folds, fan-shaped at the waist.

• Details of the pattern, resize and increase to the desired size.
• At the top of the front (detail 1), stitch the chest dart, and at the bottom (detail 2), sew the folds from the wrong side, and then stitch the detail to the top.

• From the spline mark to the zipper, make the middle seam.

• To understand which side the slot should lie on, turn the part inside out and put the right side on the left. Secure the cut with a pin and turn the part over again.
• Iron the slot on both sides, make a notch in the corner of the seam and lay a fastening stitch at the top.

The slot is lined in this way:

• Left lining allowance tuck and iron. Bending it to the right side, pin the left seam allowance with pins and attach it.
• Allow the right side to fit in the corner. Allow tuck, iron and secure with pins.
• Bend the lining on the left side and attach the right allowance, then bend down and sew the upper allowance.

Tuck the lining, stitch to the zipper and sew the dress.

In the autumn and winter, cases with short and long sleeves are popular. Modeling and stitching such a model is not at all difficult.

1. Cut the standard pattern on the front of the dress along the waistline.
2. Move the dart on the skirt sideways.
3. From the hip line down put it down 8 cm, then knot the skirt 1.5 cm. Make the length of the skirt from the waist at will. This also applies to the modeling of the neck.
4. From the armhole set down 5 cm. From this point and to the center point of the chest, draw a line.
5. Shoulder tuck close and create a chest.

On the back of the model, model the cut, deepen the neckline and deepen the skirt.
