On the eve of the holidays, the Anastasia Korfiati Sewing School has prepared a pleasant surprise for all readers of the site site. Especially for you, Anastasia Korfiati has created a simple cut, but incredibly spectacular festive dress made of blue-emerald glitter with a degraded effect. Such a model is suitable for almost any figure and, depending on the color and quality of the material from which you sew it, it will look completely different. Sparkling glitter, luxurious jacquard, satin, silk and even lace - for this dresses fit any fancy fabric. Finished pattern festive dress for 5 sizes and tips on modeling for a non-standard figure - 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. Spectacular buttons play the role of bright accents and give the model a complete look. And even if you are not a fan of short dresses, by combining this warm dress with tight skinny jeans, leggings or thick woolen tights, you will feel comfortable in any situation. A pattern and a master class on sewing a warm dress are in this lesson.

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.

Puffy voluminous sleeves are a very bright and feminine trend of the season. And since this style focuses even more on the figure and makes it very elegant, girls follow with pleasure. fashion trend and choose dresses with similar sleeves. A striking example of this is Celine Dion's recent appearance at the Alexandre Vauthier show, where the singer appeared in a mini dress with grotesque puffy floor-length sleeves. We do not offer you to plunge headlong into bold experiments, but start with a sophisticated and feminine dress with an open shoulder line and voluminous sleeves.

Pattern of a fitted dress - modeling the bodice).

From the top point of the eye, lay down 8-10 cm and draw a horizontal line. Cut along the line.

Skirt pattern for a dress

How to cut out a dress

For the dress, you will need cotton satin with a printed pattern, 145 cm wide and about 2.5 m long.

Cut out their main fabric:

Front dress bodice - 2 details

The back of the dress - 2 parts

Sleeve - 2 parts

The front half of the skirt - 1 piece with a fold

The back half of the skirt - 2 parts

Seam allowances - 1.5 cm, along the neckline and front seam of the bodice - 1.5 cm. On the bottom of the sleeves - 2.5 cm, on the bottom of the skirt - 3 cm.

How to sew a dress

On the details of the bodice and back, sweep and grind tucks. Stitch the details of the bodice along the middle seam (to the cutout). Process allowances. Stitch the side seams of the top and skirt of the dress. Stitch shoulder seams. Process allowances for armholes and all seams. Tuck the allowances on the bottom of the sleeves and topstitch. Sweep sleeves into armholes between reference points b and c. Tuck the allowance on the open part of the armhole (bottom) and topstitch.

Lay folds on the skirt (see Fig. 5. Pattern of a fitted dress - modeling a skirt). Sweep the skirt with the top, stitch. Sew a hidden zipper on the back of the dress.

Press seam allowances on the front and back necklines to the wrong side and topstitch. Fold up the bottom of the skirt and sew.

The sheath dress is suitable for girls and women of any age. For those who have the most minimal knowledge and sewing skills, we want to offer a pattern and a master class for a summer sheath dress. In the article, patterns for 48, 50, 52 sizes.

Subsequently, it will be possible to sew a dress with a sleeve based on this pattern. different lengths. A sheath dress is ideal for everyday wear, and if it is carefully sewn, then in such an outfit it is not a shame to go on a visit, to the theater, to a cafe. For wholesale tailoring, you can offer a garment factory where dresses are sewn, and not only.

Such a beautiful sheath dress or pencil dress will decorate the wardrobe of any lady. Classic is always fashionable and in demand. The pattern is given in three sizes. Before drawing up a pattern, you need to take measurements from your figure, then the dress will fit the figure perfectly. This is a model of an adjacent silhouette, in a secret seam, in the center of the back, there is a zipper. The zipper on the back must be at least 55 cm, otherwise it will be difficult for you to fit into the dress. There is an option: sew a zipper into the side seam, in this case the lock can be taken 25-30 cm.

It is important to know that the size of the sheath dress corresponds to half the circumference of the chest.

What measurements should be taken before making a pattern?

1. Measure chest circumference
2. Waist.
3. Hip girth.
4. Measure the length of the shoulders.
5. Product length.
6. Back width (measured from one armpit to the other).

This is how you can lay out the pattern on the fabric:

With a roll width of 140 cm, we need to buy 120 cm of fabric. At the same time, we cut the facings from the same piece (Fig. A). When processing not with turning, but with an oblique trim to match the color of the fabric, 110 cm of the canvas is enough (Fig. B).

When cutting, consider the composition of the fabric: if it is cotton or linen, it does not stretch and shrinks when washed. So, you need to take plus 5-7 cm in width.

Usually in such a model they make a slot on the skirt. If this is difficult for you, you can make a simple incision. The incision is processed on the line of the middle of the back. When cutting, be sure to consider seam allowances: they should be 1-2 cm.

We correct the pattern and adjust it according to our figure. We take into account that the shelf is one-piece, and the back consists of 4 parts. If we choose the option with facing, then it should turn out: back (central part) - 2 pieces, back (barrel) - 2 pieces, one-piece shelf - 1 piece, front facing - 2 pieces, back facing - 2 pieces.

In order to sew a sheath dress with our own hands, we need fabric. It is better to take the fabric: linen, thick cotton, jacquard, rep. The fabric with the addition of elastane is best suited. Such fabrics do not shrink after washing and stretch well.

After we have made a pattern, we impose it on the wrong side of the fabric and chip off with pins. Then, having added allowances for the seams and having decided on the length, we draw cut lines on the fabric with chalk. Cut out the details of the cut.

Sewing order

1. We grind and iron the tucks on the shelf.
2. We chip off with pins and sweep the central part of the back and side.
3. We pin the central seam of the back with pins from the bottom of the slots to the line of sewing in the zipper.
4. We pin it off with pins and sweep the shoulder and side seams.
5. We bend the bottom of the dress to the wrong side and notice it.
6. Baste the central seam of the back from the very bottom of the slots to the line of sewing in the lock. Sew up the slot too. Baste side and shoulder seams. Fold the bottom of the dress to the wrong side and sweep it up.
   Next, we move on to trying on the dress. We remove extra centimeters in volume, adjust the work according to the figure. The dress should be comfortable and not too tight.
7. If the fit suits us, we sit down at the machine and grind the shoulder, side, and back seams. We remove the pins.
8. It is easier to sew a zipper with a special foot for stitching it.
9. Next, we carry out the central seam of the back from the bottom to the fastener. All seams are overlocked and carefully ironed. First, iron and smooth the side, shoulder seams: this way they become thinner. Then we iron the seams in different directions.
10. We process the neck of the dress. Depending on the style of the dress, we choose a facing or an inlay for finishing.
11. If you need to strengthen the neck, as in our case, then we choose the facing. It can be strengthened with dublirin. Let us dwell in more detail on the processing of the neck and armholes.

We will decorate the neckline and armholes with piping, which we cut out from the fabric of the dress.

Overlock the bottom of the facings. We fold the facings with the product with the front sides. Near the zipper, wrap the edge of the facing so that it does not reach the place of stitching 0.5 cm. Pin the hem to the neck.

Next, we combine the front sides of the facings and the product and turn the neck. Finishing the seam 3 cm below the shoulder line, turn the armholes. Cut the allowances with scissors, turn them inside out front side and we iron.

With a blind stitch, manually sew the facing to the braid of the zipper.

Turn the dress inside out. We open the facings in the shoulder area. We chop off the facing of the back with the same detail of the front with pins. We cut off the shoulder of the back with the shoulder of the front, grind and iron the allowances.

We turn the product inside out, pull out the remaining open areas of armholes and facings. Gently, but shallowly, we cut off these areas with pins, do not touch other layers of fabric inside the “pipe”. Next, we grind the area between the red crosses and trim the allowances.

We turn the facing down, hem it manually with small hidden stitches to the allowances of the side seam.

So we finished decorating the top of the dress. After making the armholes and the neckline, all that remains is to hem the bottom of the dress and iron it.

Processing of a mouth turning.

The base pattern of the dress (basic pattern) is exactly what any dress begins with. In order to build such a pattern, you need to take measurements from the figure, perform the necessary calculations and complete the construction. The process is not complicated, but it requires a certain amount of time. If you have never built a dress base pattern, we offer you a simple one, using which you can easily build a pattern in just an hour. However, there is an even easier way!

Rice. 1 Table of women's measurements

Compare your measurements with the table and determine the size of the dress. Then check the selected size as shown in fig. 2.

How to check a pattern

To check your chosen size, measure according to the pattern:

Semi bust: sections X=X1+X2,

Half waist: Y=Y1+Y2+Y3+Y4,

Half hips: Z=Z1+Z2.

Rice. 2. Dress pattern control

Multiply each calculated X, Y and Z value by 2 and compare with your measurements. Each 2X, 2Y and 2Z value must be about 3 cm larger than the corresponding measured value.

Important values ​​- Back Length to Waist (DTS) and Front length to waist (accident). If your DTS and RTA measurements match those in the table, no adjustment is required; in other cases, you need to adjust the pattern, since the position of the waist line depends on these values.

To adjust the DTS, cut the pattern horizontally just below the armhole line and shorten or lengthen the pattern to the desired length along the back. Similarly, adjust the front half of the dress by shortening or lengthening the RTA.

Rice. 3. TPA adjustment

Waist and hip adjustment

What should I do if, when choosing a pattern of your size, the bust girth does not match the waist girth and hip girth?

In this case, you need to adjust the waist circumference and hip circumference when outlining the pattern. This is very easy to do, based on the contour lines of the pattern. For example, if according to your measurements Bust corresponds to the standard 46 size, Waist circumference 44 size, and Hip circumference 48 size, when outlining the waist line, go to the contour line of the previous 44 size, and when outlining the hip line - next to yours, 48 ​​size.

Rice. 4. Outlining the pattern with the adjustment of girths

How to download and print a pattern

The pattern can be downloaded from life size To do this, simply click on the button below. Print the pattern on the printer full size(595 * 1075 mm) - it is better to do this in a copy center.

The pattern can be downloaded in A4 format broken into sheets (do not correct when printing and print as is). Please note that with such printing and gluing there may be distortions in the dimensions of the pattern, be sure to check the key measurements as described above.

We wish you beautiful dresses, admiring glances and new creative ideas!

Building a base pattern - THE MOST CLEAR WAY (for beginners)

visibility 917872 views

Good afternoon! I would even say a beautiful day. Because we are finally starting a series of articles on tailoring for adults. We have already sewed a lot of things for little girls - both dresses and bodysuits are different - now we will sew for big girls. That is, for yourself. And since we have already practiced sewing, the fear of the pioneer has passed.

SO IT'S TIME TO TAKE A NEW FRONTIER. And by ourselves, with our own hands and our brains, master the wisdom of sewing according to real adult patterns. We will draw the base pattern ourselves - new the easy way(I spent more than one week to create this lightweight method for building a base pattern). And then we will sew a bunch of all sorts of dresses, tops and tunics.

Not- I will not give you a single ready-made pattern!

I am not Madame Burda. I am Madame Klishevskaya.))) And the main harmfulness of my character lies in the fact ... That I will make your head work and give birth to bright and clear discoveries in the field of sewing. The easiest and most understandable of all arts. Trust me, it is.

Yes- sewing by yourself is very easy and simple!

Right from scratch, you will get more and more beautiful and well-tailored things.

Moreover, you will do everything yourself, without a state of hypnosis, but in a sober mind and bright memory. YOU will DO it - moreover, you will UNDERSTAND what exactly you are doing.

I will reveal to you the secrets that I know. Moreover, I will teach you to discover more and more secrets of the world of sewing and modeling clothes yourself.

I will not lead you (blind and stupid) by the hand in the chaos of letters and numbers indicating the intricacies of the numerous lines of the pattern drawing. NO, I WON'T TAKE YOU HERE:

Well, you must admit, one such picture can catch fear and make a girl doubt her own abilities, who really wants to make a dress- but not very friendly school years with geometry and drawing. Even I - who loves both of these school subjects - beat around the bush for several years - not daring to start delving into the construction of such a drawing: “How long does it take to draw this, and you need to calculate everything correctly and not get confused in the letters ... ".

And, nevertheless, today we will draw a pattern.

We will draw a base pattern (you can see a piece of it from above.))))

But - do not rush to get scared - we will create our pattern a little differently. Away from the engineering and design method - and closer to human understanding.

We will draw one with you - only one and only- pattern.

And then from it we will create more and more new models of dresses. And it will be very easy and simple.

• No obscure formulas
• No messy calculations.
• And without the letter-number cobweb.

Well, how? Have I removed a bit of your concerns?

I now relax - we will not start drawing right now. To begin with, we will take a pleasant walk through the pattern. The purpose of the walk is to get acquainted, make friends with the pattern and remove the last doubt that you can sew any dress.

So ... what is a pattern - the basis?

To put it figuratively, it is a cast from your body. This is your personal imprint. Any thing sewn according to YOUR base pattern will fit perfectly on YOUR figure.

Yes, you heard right - ANY THING can be sewn on the basis one single pattern. All-all models of dresses - are born, modeled, and sewn from one source - this is a base pattern.

I will now prove to you with an example. Even on three examples - in the form of photos and pictures.

Here is the first photo (below). Our base pattern is, in fact, your sheath dress (the one that fits perfectly on the figure). Dress made according to your pattern based, will repeat all the bends your his body. This simple sheath dress is sewn according to the usual pattern-base. You see, it's like a plaster cast of a girl's figure.

And today, having drawn a base pattern, you can safely cut on the fabric - and you will get such a dress. The only thing you can change the neckline is by giving it the shape that suits your face shape.

All other (any, any) dress models are just a modification of a sheath dress - fantasies on a free topic.

That's how it works in the fashion world.

One day the fashion designer thought...“But what if the bodice of the dress at the top is held on the shoulders by a round yoke (yellow outlines - fig. below), and the bodice itself is made in the form of overlapping opposite triangles (red outlines - fig. below). The result is what we see in the photo below.

Handsomely? Handsomely! What did the fashion designer base his fantasies on? On a base pattern. And you can come up with something of your own. We - women - just a lot of fantasy.

By the way - since we are talking about a round yoke here - this site already has one of my articles on creating and

And another fashion designer thought: “But what if you give the sheath dress a looser cut - make it wider. And make the line of the shoulder longer so that it hangs on the arm. And finally born new model(photo below) - also very beautiful. And very simple.

You can do that too. If you will UNDERSTAND what the base pattern consists of. And by what laws does it exist.

That's why I don't want to stupidly give you instructions on creating a base pattern (such as “draw a line from point P6 to point P5 and mark the place where it intersects with line X with the next point ...” - ugh!).

I want to wake up in you chuechka. I want you to feel the pattern, to know its soul. And learned to see what a simple drawing hides behind a photograph of any, even intricately tailored, dress.

Therefore, for the next 30 minutes we will not draw anything - we will walk along the pattern itself. Let's get acquainted with all its elements - find out what each line is for, and why it is located exactly here and drawn that way.

After such a "cognitive walk" you will feel the joyful clarity of understanding of everything-everything-everything. It's as if you've already drawn basic patterns many times. And take up the drawing with the feeling that this is a couple of trifles. Ha! Delov something!

As the wise man said: “We are afraid only of what we cannot understand and explain logically. But as soon as the thing that frightens us becomes clear to us, it ceases to cause fear in us.

So let's go and tame this "terrible beast" - a base pattern. Tame and draw in 20 minutes. Yes, yes, in 20 minutes - because after a walk - the pattern drawing will seem to you an old and well-known simple pattern - like a grid for playing tic-tac-toe.

Where does the base pattern come from?

So where does the base pattern come from - usually it is obtained from such a drawing:

The drawing contains half of the back part + half of the front part.

We will also draw a similar drawing with you - only more simply and clearly.

And what are these halves for, and where to apply them - now I will clearly show everything.

Here (!) I dug up a wonderful sample - below - in the photograph of a black and white dress, our halves are very clearly visible - both half of the back and half of the front. So to speak - clearly and clearly.

Yes, in the Potnovsky language, the halves are called “shelves”. Today we will draw these very shelves of the front and back. But first, let's take a closer look at what elements each shelf consists of. And most importantly, I will tell you what each element is for, what it serves.

To make everything as clear as possible, I will illustrate each of the elements both in pictures and in photographs of real models of dresses.

First, let's get acquainted with two obscure words: TRUCK and ARMHOLE.

Of course, you may know them. Or maybe not. My job is to introduce you.

So, get acquainted - PROYMA

When drawing a base pattern, you will create exactly that bend and the size an armhole that fits you—when the armhole doesn't pull or dig into your arm.

That is, the pattern base contains acceptable minimum armhole size. You can model the armhole to your taste, any configuration. But your fantasy armhole should not be less than on the base pattern. That is, an armhole on a pattern basis - These are the limits beyond which your imagination should not intercede.

Your model armhole can be arbitrarily larger - but it cannot be smaller than on the base pattern. More - yes, less - no - otherwise it will dig into the armpit. Here is a rule in modeling designer armholes.

Now let's get acquainted with the tucks.

BACK PATCHES - shoulder darts + waist darts

Here in the picture above, I wrote everything about the back darts - and in the photo of the dress you can find 2 waist darts - one to the right of the zipper, the other to the left of the zipper.

But you don’t see the shoulder tuck on this dress. And on many dresses, too, it is not. Because for convenience and beauty, this tuck is transferred from the middle of the shoulder to the zipper (or along the edge of the armhole, where the sleeve will be, a corner is simply cut off). That is, the excess fabric is not pinched at the middle of the shoulder and is not sewn inside the tuck. And the extra fabric cut off in a corner at the edge of the shelf, where the zipper is sewn in, or at the edge of the armhole - where the sleeve will be sewn in.

Also, darts are optional if you sew from stretch fabric - it itself repeats the curves of your body and shrinks both in the shoulder area and in the waist area.

Next, let's get to know… HALF FRONT darts

Oh, you could write a whole poem about her.

I thought for a long time how to explain it more clearly - what it is for and what laws it lives by. I thought and thought ... and came up with.

The fact is that a woman has breasts.))) That is, the front of an adult girl is no longer flat. This means that the dress in the chest area should be convex. The tuck on the shoulder of the front gives the dress this very bulge in the chest area. Now I will show everything in pictures. How does this happen.

For example, we have a flat piece of fabric, but we need to make a convex piece out of it. To do this, you need to make a tuck on it. For example - this flat circle of cardboard, with the help of a tuck, will now become convex.

And here is how the chest tuck creates a bulge on the front detail

You noticed that the top of the bulge (that is, the peak of our round pyramid) is at the point of the tuck. Pay attention to this. Because when we draw a tuck for the chest, the tip of our tuck will be at the top of the chest(where the nipple or dome of the bra is usually located).

Remember that sometimes you measured a dress in your size in a store, which somehow strangely warped on your chest - this is because the tuck in the dress was directed with its tip past top of your chest. Here the chest did not fit perfectly into the bulge of the dress. Not under your breast shape, this product was cut at the factory.

But that's not all, what I want to say about the chest tuck.

The fact is that in almost all dresses this chest tuck is located not on the shoulder- a on the side just below the armpit. It's made for beauty. The tuck on the shoulder is more conspicuous, but on the side, and even covered by the hand, it is not noticeable.

When creating a base pattern, we draw a chest tuck on the shoulder only because it is more convenient to draw it there from the point of view of building a drawing.

And after the drawing of the base pattern is ready, we very easily and simply transfer the tuck from the shoulder area to the axillary area. Do not think that for this you need to make new drawings. Nope, everything is simple here - how to open a carton of milk - one minute and that's it.

Here, in the picture below, I schematically depicted transfer of the chest tuck from the shoulder to the side seam at hand.

Well, do you already feel how you have grown wiser in these 15 minutes?))) Whether there will be more ... We continue our walk along the pattern and now we will get acquainted with the lines. horizontal lines

CHEST LINE

The first acquaintance is the line of the chest. (A beautiful dress, isn't it? We'll sew it with you. Don't even hesitate)

The chest line is the most wonderful line on the pattern. It is so convenient to navigate it when drawing a base pattern, because:

• We know that we finish drawing the waist tuck of the back on the chest line.
• We know that we finish drawing the waist tuck before reaching 4 cm to the chest line.
• We know that the shoulder tuck is the front - we finish drawing on the chest line.
• We know that the lower edges of the armholes also run along the chest line.

Well, no, of course, you don't know that yet. I am all these simple rules ladies when we start to draw. And for now, I just want you to know that when drawing many elements of the pattern, you can simply focus on the line of the chest (and there is no need to painstakingly put down these alphanumeric dots).

As you can see, there are a lot!! Therefore, go ahead - learn, sew and enjoy life)))

AND WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT - WITH THE PATTERN BASIS? - you ask

And we will begin to sew according to the pattern-base of TOPS. Namely tops, T-shirts, tunics and then dresses.

You ask: "Hey, why not just dresses?". I give the answer to this question already in the first article of the cycle, so to be continued)))

Good luck with your sewing!
