Modeling a sundress pattern

It is better to start modeling from the front half of the dress. Cut the front half of the dress at the waistline. Transfer the chest dart to the waist dart. We told you in detail how to do this in the lesson. You can follow the link and refresh your knowledge!

We continue the modeling. From point A, set aside 27-30 cm upwards (depending on the size, you can always increase or decrease the depth of the cutout). Draw a horizontal line to the right 13-14 cm long. From the armhole line, lay down 1 cm and draw a new armhole line.

Increase per plank: Make an increase for a plank AB with a width of 5.25 cm (the width of the plank in finished form will be 3.5 cm). The shoulder strap is cut in two parts 4 cm wide. In total, this sundress has 2 straps that are sewn in the back and fastened with buttons in front. The length of the straps is about 50 cm, but for each size the length is determined individually.

Separately, re-seam the top edge of the front bodice, 4 cm wide.

Modeling the bodice of the back of a sundress

Model the bodice of the back of the sundress in the same way as the front bodice. All linear dimensions necessary for modeling are shown in Fig. 2. We remind you that depending on the size, the length of the back bodice may vary. You can independently determine the length of the bodice from the waist by measuring it along the back with a centimeter tape.

Separately, remove the facing of the top back.

Rice. 4. Modeling the back bodice

The skirt for this sundress is cut in the form of a rectangle about 70 cm long and a width equal to the circumference of the hips multiplied by 1.6 cm (or 1.8 if the fabric is very thin). On the front it is necessary to add a 5.25 cm wide hem on each side. Since it is not possible to cut out the skirt panel without side seams (due to the limited fabric width of 145 cm), seams must be made on the sides and the center of the back.

How to cut a sundress

Sundress for plus size people/pattern/sew without pattern

The first thing you should decide on is the style of the sundress.

If you have a full figure, it is desirable that it be wide enough, but not look like a robe.

A triangular neckline will look great, as it will visually lengthen the neck and emphasize the chest.

Suitable for a full figure and a style with a cut-off waist, and the recommended length of the sundress is medium - knee-length.

Once the style has been selected, you can proceed to the next stage.

A sundress pattern for plus size girls can be made either independently or downloaded ready-made on the Internet.

Particular attention should be paid to the finishing of the sundress. It is worth considering that such an outfit should under no circumstances be trimmed with ruffles and frills.

It is best to finish it with a contrasting color fabric; vertical reliefs will also visually reduce the volume.

When choosing fabric, you need to remember that large patterns and bright colors for full figures should not be purchased.

We sew sundresses for overweight people

You don't have to take any measurements for this. You will need a piece of fabric in the shape of a rectangle. Its length depends on your size and the number of folds you want. You also choose the height of the fabric - it’s better if it’s knee-deep or lower.

1. Every woman's wardrobe should contain basic clothing models. A sundress dress is exactly the model that almost every girl has in her arsenal. There are many options for sundresses, models can be summer and winter, frivolous and business, everyday and festive.

   Many are sure that the sundress was invented as an element of the Russian national costume. In fact, clothing similar to a sundress was used back in Ancient Egypt.

   

   The sundress came to Russia around the 16th century, most likely from the Middle East, since the very name of this style is of Persian origin. Initially, sundresses were clothing for the nobility, and it was an element of the men's wardrobe. Clothes were made from expensive fabrics, so they were inaccessible to ordinary people. Of course, men's models were not distinguished by excesses, they were not decorated with frills and ruffles, and were called the harsh word “shushun”.

   But in the 17th century, sundresses finally and irrevocably “migrated” to the women’s wardrobe. Before Peter's reforms, these clothes were in the wardrobe of women of all classes. Of course, noble women wore models made of expensive fabrics and with richer decor, peasant women wore clothes made of homespun linen, but the cut of sundresses was approximately the same.

   

   During the reign of Tsar Peter, sundresses were relegated to the level of clothing of commoners, while aristocrats were ordered to wear dresses in European fashion. But during the reign of Catherine, the sundress was again elevated to the Olympus of fashion, however, then the models were sewn on a frame. But the sundress “a la russe” was also worn by French fashionistas of that time.

   The beginning of the 20th century was a time of wars and revolutions, so women forgot about this wardrobe item for a long time. But in the second half of the last century, the sundress returned to fashion and continues there today.

   Model description

   What fashionable dresses and sundresses are they? The most varied. Photos of the models will allow you to verify this.

   

   The main element of any model is the straps. They can have different widths, be asymmetrical and intersecting, with ruffles and lace.

   According to the cut, two types of dresses can be distinguished - one-piece and cut-off along the waistline, which can be high, low, or located in a place designated by nature. The model's skirt can have a variety of cuts and lengths.

   

   Models also differ in purpose. The most common option is sundresses for the summer. However, many people also like a warm sundress, which is worn with a jacket, blouse or turtleneck. These are usually strict models for the office.

   Who should wear it?

   This is a universal model that is suitable for women with any type of figure, you just need to choose the right styles.

   

   • . Girls with this type of figure are lucky; absolutely all models suit them, but fitted ones will look especially advantageous, emphasizing the attractive contours of the figure.
   • . Girls who do not have a significant difference between the size of the waist and hips are recommended to choose models with flounces on the skirt or with a peplum, if we are talking about office models.

   

   • . To balance out the heavy bottom, girls with a pear-shaped figure should choose sundresses with voluminous straps decorated with frills.
   • . Loose sundresses with a high waistline are ideal for ladies with this type of figure, as well as expectant mothers.

   

   Sundresses are also perfect for overweight women. They should choose dresses with vertical lines in the form of a pattern, rows of buttons or zippers. You can wear a long dress or a dress just above the knees. It is preferable to choose dresses with a deep neckline so that you can show off the most advantageous part of your figure.

   Models with large patterns and tight-fitting items should be avoided. But you shouldn’t dress up in dark robes either. Sundresses of various pastel colors and semi-fitting silhouettes are perfect for plus-size women.

   Summer long models

   Summer sundresses are extremely popular. They can have a variety of styles, but many associate models from chiffon or other flowing fabrics with a floor-length skirt with summer holidays.

   
   

   What to wear with such models? Sandals or sandals are selected for long light sundresses. If a girl does not recognize shoes without a heel, then it is better to choose a wedge model.

   

   On a cool summer evening, you can complement the outfit with a short denim jacket; the combination of flowing chiffon and rough denim looks stylish.

   You should choose simple but eye-catching jewelry to go with your dress. Country style jewelry will look ideal. A wide-brimmed hat and a soft bag will complement the outfit.

   Summer dress sundress

   Such models can be worn not only in hot summers, but also in warm autumns. Its difference is the presence of a small sleeve formed by an elongated shoulder line. The length of the dress can vary from mid-thigh to floor length. Such dresses are made from linen, cotton, mixed fabrics, and silk. You can use plain-dyed or printed fabrics.

   
   

   This version of the dress, as a rule, requires shoes with heels. However, you can create successful looks with flat shoes.

   Dresses are complemented with short jackets or boleros. When creating evening bows, you should pay attention to stoles, silk scarves and openwork shawls.

   
   

   An interesting model is a summer knitted sundress dress, cotton threads are used for its manufacture. Knitted sundresses can be openwork, then they are worn with a cover.

   Denim sundress

   The denim sundress dress deserves special attention. Denim sundresses can be very diverse. Denim is used for both loose models for leisure and fitted dresses that can be worn in the city. Bare shoulders in a dress made of coarse fabric, especially emphasize the elegance of the neck and the tenderness of the skin. To complement the look, which is based on a long, loose denim sundress, you should use hippie-style jewelry and woven sandals.

   
   

   Short fitted sundresses can be combined with heeled shoes, jackets and jackets made of textiles or the same denim. The bow will be complemented by chains in several rows and wide bracelets.

   Office option

   A sundress dress for the office is a basic model, along with a classic suit. The cut of the dress can be straight or fitted; thicker fabrics are used for tailoring. The choice is determined by the season. So, for sewing models for the fall-winter season, woolen fabrics and knitted fabric based on cashmere fiber are used (this is a fairly dense material that holds its shape well). For the spring-summer season, mixed fabrics are used - thick cotton with lycra, silk, viscose fibers.

   
   

   Models of business sundresses can be like this :

   • Case. The bodice of such a dress is almost closed; it can have a rectangular neckline or a triangle-shaped neckline. The length usually covers the knee, and the zipper is located in the side or back seam. This version of the dress is perfect for girls with a good figure.

   
   

   • Tunic. This model expands from the shoulder line; draperies can be made on the bodice, so knitwear or other types of well-draped fabrics are used for sewing. This model is suitable for girls with an imperfect figure; it perfectly masks both excess thinness and fullness.

   

   • Straps. This model is a straight skirt, to which a part is sewn, which fits the waist like a corset. To sew such a sundress, fabrics with the addition of elastic fibers are used. It is ideal for ladies with hourglass figures.

   The colors of office models should be restrained. Plain fabrics are used, as well as checkered, striped, and small polka dot fabrics.

The upper part on the chest is assembled with a central gather, Therefore, in the upper part we will cut out the pattern along the center line. And here we will open the lower folds alternately, relying on the simplest principle: where there is a fold, there is an opening. ..

   1. The principle of modeling draperies: where there are folds or gathers in the drapery, the pattern needs to be pulled apart. 2. On the base of the straight dress we will apply shaped lines and auxiliary lines for modeling drapery. 3. Let's cut the pattern along these lines. The bottom one is the largest We will cut the part along the auxiliary lines without cutting 1 mm to side seam and hem line, and cut completely to the armhole line. 4. Spread the right side of the bodice (smaller part) to the formation of folds both on the line of stitching to the larger part, and on the armhole line. 5. Let's move the larger part apart in the same way, in the upper part (where auxiliary lines come from the armhole), and in the lower part there is a sliding should be done only in the place7 of stitching to the rounded part.

   1. Let's take as a basis the pattern of a straight dress with a semi-fitting silhouette. Let's draw shaped lines on the base as shown in the diagram. 2. The upper part of the sundress (bodice) is modeled with using reliefs that run vertically through the most convex chest points. The reliefs coincide with the darts of the base. 3. Divide the lower part of the sundress (skirt) into a pocket and the actual skirt. The pocket should be lengthened to form two burlaps: one completely repeats the green detail, the second is everything below the dotted line. 4. To form folds, cut the pattern along along the lines of the expected folds and expand it to the required width (depth of folds).

   When working in an office, be sure to adhere to a business style, as required by the corporate rules of many companies, in order to maintain the company's image. Therefore, it will be useful for craftswomen who sew clothes for themselves and to order. The simplest version of such a wardrobe item is a sheath dress, for sewing which a regular pattern of a fitted or straight silhouette is used.
   

   The entire creation process can be divided into several main stages, after overcoming which you will create an excellent formal outfit.

   Stage one: taking measurements

   In order for the pattern of sundresses for the office to fit in size, you need to build it based on your own measurements. This is precisely the beauty of individual tailoring, because things that are sold on the market and in stores are sewn according to generally accepted standard volumes. And, as you know, they do not always coincide with real forms. That’s why girls have to try on a huge number of dresses to find the one that fits their figure perfectly.

   So, to build a template you will need the following measurements:

   • girth of chest, waist, hips, neck;
   • back width;
   • breast dart solution;
   • shoulder width;
   • chest height;
   • length of the back and front to the waist.

   Stage two: constructing a drawing of the workpiece

   The pattern of a warm sundress for the office and the summer version are constructed identically, the only difference is the allowance for a loose fit. For a summer product, add 1 cm to the measurement, and for a warm product - 2 cm.

   The drawing is developed on the basis of a quadrilateral with sides corresponding to 1/2 the volume of the chest + an increase in the length of the product. Horizontally in the drawing, you should immediately mark the height of the chest, waist, hips and draw lines that form an auxiliary grid.

   

   
   

   At this stage, the main pattern of sundresses for the office is ready. It can already be used for sewing products from thick and thin fabrics.

   Modeling and design

   The workpiece can be modified by adding raised seams. To do this, the pattern of sundresses for the office is drawn out in accordance with the desired lines, and then cut into elements. In this way, you can mark boundaries for combining different colors of fabric, or you can simply make seams and stitch them beautifully.

   Stage three: cutting and assembly

   How to cut for summer and for the office? The pattern should be constructed taking into account a loose fitting allowance, which is added not only along the chest line, but also along the hips and waist. Otherwise, the product will hinder movement. The only exception may be fabric with elastane or knitwear. For the rest, cut as standard. An allowance is made along the contour of the parts to process the seams: along the hem - 4 cm, and along the seams - 1 cm. If the fabric is very loose, then the allowance can be increased.

   

   To make the product easy to put on, it is better to make it with a zipper. To do this, you can use a tractor or secret lock 75 cm long. It should be inserted into the middle seam of the back, on which you can also make a cut for a comfortable step. You can also make it tapered at the bottom for the office. In this case, the patterns are narrowed along the side seam from the hip line to the hem by about 5 cm.

   Stage four: decorative design

   A completely simple-to-build blank in combination with a calm fabric will make the product strict, and in order to somewhat improve the image, it needs to be properly decorated. For example, embroider it at the neck with discreet stones to match the main fabric, or make a lace or contrasting collar. A thin belt at the waist would also look nice, for which you definitely need to make belt loops. This product can be worn with a thin mesh neckline or a plain tight knitted T-shirt.

   The simpler the silhouette, the richer the material you can choose. And we are not talking about color at all, but about texture. The embossed weave of the fabric is an ideal option for a relaxed sundress. A product with embroidery along the field of the material will look original. Such a sundress will not need to be decorated and supplemented with vertical seams and trim. The simplest sundress pattern for the office is suitable here.

   

   "Burda" is one of the sewing magazines that quite often uses similar techniques with a minimum amount of detail and maximum fabric saturation. It is precisely these wardrobe items that, as a rule, become the most beloved, because there is nothing superfluous in them.
