How to sew a petticoat?

Of all the accessories for the wedding dress, the petticoat is the most “modest” and not noticeable. On his account a lot of merit. He will create volume, and will give shape, and add elegance, and make a modest image with a translucent top skirt.

This element is vital for princess style dresses, A-line dresses and short new-bow dresses. Therefore, we will consider with you the different options for tailoring a wedding petticoat, and you can use the vending model for other important outfits.

Easier than the petticoat "Tatyanka" can not come up. Here and special skills do not need to sew yourself.

First you need to take measurements. This is the girth of the hips and the length of the petticoat.

To find the width of the waist, the girth of the hips multiplied by the build factor. Its value is in the range of 1.5-3.5 times. Here you have to decide how lush the skirt will be. The main thing is to take into account that the harder the fabric, the lower the coefficient will be.

The length is measured from the waist or the place where the petticoat will be located and to the desired length. At the same time it should be shorter than the dress.

Now we take according to the measurements a piece of rectangular fabric. You can take any lining fabric that holds the shape well. It is advisable to pre-steam it, so that when washing the finished product there is no shrinkage. Cotton fabric is vented. You can take the net (tulle), but in this case the volume in the waist will be large.

Handle side seams with double stitching or grinding with overcasting. Then shoot them. Process the upper and lower sections with a seam in the hem with a closed cut. At the same time in the upper cut, leave room for pulling gum. The bottom hem should be wider so that the bottom of the skirt keeps its shape better. And for rigidity, you can insert a fishing line or transom.

All seams must be carefully stripped. Threading the gum, stitch its ends together in a ring.

Lush dress can be in two cases - this is the use of rings or layering. It is believed that the latter option is applicable more for not luxuriant models, as well as short or medium length dresses.

For a petticoat under the half-skirt the volume in the waist and hips area is not needed. Therefore, the base will be a half-skirt and tulle frills.

From the material you will need a lining base (coarse or silk) and tulle.

Make the necessary measurements for the half-skirt (waist size and length), taking into account the pomp of the future dress and cut it out of the fabric. Top handle.

Do not forget to leave room for pulling the gum, if not provided with a clasp in the form of buttons or zippers.

Drain 3-8 rows of ruffles from tulle. The upper tier should close the seam of fastening of the lower tier by 3-4 cm. Therefore, the height of the frill is calculated from the distance between the tiers.

Narrow will give splendor, but will be able to puff up under the light fabric of the dress, and wide will give roundness to the silhouette.

Each cut frill must be sewn into the ring along the side cut. Bottom handle.

Lay one or two lines along the upper sections for even tightening.Tighten the rings to the desired size. If desired, you can manually make bookmarks, and then stitch it on a typewriter.

It remains to try on a petticoat with a dress. If the petticoat is very confused in the legs, then sew the weighting agent, soft wire or reglin, making a narrow drawstring.

In order not to be confused all the day in the multi-layered skirts of a magnificent wedding dress, we will sew a petticoat on the rings.

From the grid, open the skirt of the desired pomp, which determines the number of rings and their length. For a basis, you can take a semi-sun skirt, a sun or a six-link. In this case, the wedges should correspond to 1/4 of the circle.

The belt can keep on an elastic band and additional ties, and you can sew a secret zipper.

Now it remains to secure the ring with a wide satin ribbon.

1. Turn the finished petticoats on the wrong side. Attach a ring to its bottom. Pin a ribbon over the top of it so that it covers it completely. After carefully stitch through the upper and lower ribbon cuts, so as not to break the machine.
2. There is a second way - to stitch off the seams, and then thread the ring or reglin.

At the same distance from each other, fasten the remaining hoops.

Petticoat ready. It remains to turn out and if you want it to have a rounded shape, our frills. Their width should be equal to the distance between the rings. Length - is selected individually.

For a bright vintage wedding look, you need the same foundation. Very lush and multicolored at will.

Therefore, we take the yoke as a basis, and the underskirt will be made of multi-layered 3-tier soft tulle. Hard can tear panty hoses.

For tailoring an American skirt, you only need to determine the long waist size and the number of layers.

The length of the petticoat should be divided into three to get the width of the frill. The length of the 1st tier is calculated by multiplying the waist volume by 2. The second - by multiplying by 4 and the length of the 3rd tier - by multiplying by 8. For example, if the volume is 60 cm, you will get 120 cm; 240cm and 480cm.

Process the bottom of the last tier with a satin bake or lace, and pull off the upper cut to the length of the second tier (240 cm). Sew them together.

The upper cut of the second tier also pull up to the length of the first (120 cm). Sew the first tier to the second. The first layer is ready. Subsequent layers do as the first.

To the top of the petticoat was more rigid, the yoke in the first layer can be made of satin.

Measure the exact length of the belt and stitch the side cuts to the middle. Iron the seam.

1. Fold the belt in half lengthwise and iron the fold on the front side.
2. Fold your skirt and belt facing each other and stitch.
3. Fold the second cut by 8 mm and tack on the upper cut of the skirt from the wrong side, overlapping the stitching of the belt by 2 mm. Then secure the belt with hidden stitches or sew along the seam on the front side of the skirt.
4. Sew 4 lines on the belt and retract the rubber bands through the holes in the side cut. Sew gum into the ring, and then tucked inside.
