Good afternoon.
I really want to sew this model on my 56r. Can you please tell me what increments should be made?
Administrator: You can add 1 cm for each side seam cut (4 cm in girth), sew the layout and see the fit. Just in case, leave more allowances if there is not enough volume.
The length of the dart may need to be adjusted.
Or maybe it will be necessary to adjust the tuck solution. It all depends on your anatomy, breast fullness. All you need to look at the layout, make changes if necessary and transfer to the pattern.

I would like a similar pattern for large sizes.

Her chest size is 124, waist 117, hips 135.

Administrator: Hello, the size should be determined by the girth of the chest. If you have a bust of 84, then size 42 will suit you. The height should be 158-164.
You may need to transfer the bust darts, this can be determined by fitting.
Ekaterina Bizyaeva 27.03.2019 00:46:22
Good afternoon. I downloaded a pattern, but I can't print it. Test square # 2 with a real print size comes out 10x10, and the pattern itself then does not fit.
Administrator: Hello, please check the "orientation" setting when printing. In this setting, there should be "self-portrait / album", due to an incorrectly set orientation, the margins of the sheet may move out.
Try a different zoom setting, not " real size", and" custom scale ". Set the desired number of percent in it, with which the test square will be 10 by 10 cm. Usually this is 100%, but the settings of your printer may differ.
With the same settings, with which the test square is printed exactly 10 by 10 cm, with a letter and a number in the upper left corner and with margins on all 4 sides, you need to print the pattern as well. Then the pattern will be of the correct size, with margins and numbering.
If you are printing from a browser, please note that printing from a browser may not be correct. It is best to print the pattern by first downloading it to your device.

Hello. What size to take on OG 95? I don’t understand 48 in the table is the Russian size?
Administrator: Hello, yes, we have Russian sizes.
For bust 95, size 48 is suitable
Diana 03/05/2019 00:04:32
Good day!
I sew a sundress according to this pattern. I chose the size in accordance with my measurements (height 156, OG 74, OT 60, OB 86), that is, size 38, height 158-164.
After trying on the model, it turned out that the sundress is very large and weighs on me as well as on the mannequin in the video on sewing this model.
The length was below the knee and I reduced it by 10 cm.
The sundress turned out to be wide, so I stabbed 1.5 cm from the sides. I lowered the armhole by the same amount.
And then the grooves. Since the front part was bulging with a fold, I did the same manipulations as in the video: I made incisions to the center of the chest and spread them apart.
You can see what happened in the attached photos. The bust is only 7mm.
Question: Do I need to leave the groove? Or does it turn out that with my proportions it is not needed at all?
Administrator: Hello, I have consulted with the designer - it is better to leave the breast dart.
Natalia 02/15/2019 02:33:12

Administrator: Hello, there is no need to write the same question under different models. The size of the product is selected according to your body measurements, and for different models shoulder products will be the same. Since it is selected by the girth of the chest.
Here's for belt products may differ, as it is selected by the girth of the hips.
For shoulder garments (dresses, blouses, coats), your size is 50.
For waistbands (skirts, trousers), your size 48
Evgeniya Rudenko 02/19/2019 10:27:50 AM
Good day! Can duberlin strips be used instead of the glue edge, cut, respectively, along the share and obliquely?
Administrator: Hello, instead of an edge, you can use a doublerin cut along the equity. But you need to pay attention to the thickness of the dublerin - dublerin may be thinner than the finished edge.
The slanting edge has a stitching stitch to support the seam and, of course, the thickness of the doublerin also plays a role. In the case of bevel edging, it is better to use it than doublerin.

Hello, usually all your sewing patterns fit perfectly on me. In general, I have a very standard 44 size, even the seamstresses in the atelier praised it. But this sundress somehow ... dangles, or something. It feels like he is too big in the girth area above the chest. It should be?
Administrator: Hello, no, it shouldn't be. Check the bodice of the sundress with the patterns - you haven't stretched the top? The cuts are oblique and can easily deform.
And all the shapes still have features, so sometimes some models need adjustments.
Olga 08/09/2018 16:59:37

Hello!
Thank you very much for the pattern and master class!
The pattern did not suit me a little, I chose the correct pattern for my height (158-164), but the darts are located as if they were for a higher height. About 2 cm below.
Administrator: Elena, good afternoon!
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad that you appreciated the pattern and the master class!
The location of the darts may depend on the individual characteristics of the figure, as well as on the length of the straps. Therefore, we always recommend that you sew the layout before the main sewing in order to take into account all the nuances of the fit of the product specifically on your figure.
Maria 07/23/2018 11:13:10 AM
Good afternoon. Which size is better for OG 92 and OB 104?
Administrator: Maria, good afternoon!
We recommend that you buy a pattern of size 46, but when sewing a model, add allowances for the hips so that, if necessary, release a few centimeters during fitting. It will be easier to adjust the pattern for the thighs than for the chest.
Balnur Kubasheva 07/17/2018 15:56:52
Hello. In the master classes, you used an adhesive edge, but what if I did not find such adhesive edges in my city (with and without a thread in the middle). And you order, delivery is problematic. And I live in Kazakhstan in Aktau. In our stores there is only spider web-braid. Adhesive, dublirins are in meters. How to be something that can be replaced, tell me. Thank you for being there.
Administrator: Good day! You can make a fractional edge yourself by simply cutting the doublerin to the fractional width you need.
Lyudmila 07/12/2018 17:20:26
Hello! Is it possible to cut this sundress obliquely? Less dense fabric?

Hello, I printed a pattern - a test square 10 by 10. But the allowances are strange - there are more side seams than in other places. Maybe something with the settings? And more specifically, on the side-1 cm, on the neck and armholes-0.7 cm .And the edging along the edge of the page is 1.5 cm. Just in the previous pattern there was a smaller

We advise you to choose size 38 and widen the pattern slightly around the thighs.

Hello, tell me, is the fabric with a coupon suitable? I printed out the pattern and I see that the bottom is not straight.
Administrator: Hello, yes, the bottom is rounded, whether it works or not depends on which coupon.
Style Description:
This dress with thin straps is one-piece. The silhouette is straight, free, darts are only on the chest, there are no darts at the waist. Almost all fabrics can serve as material for manufacturing, both lightweight, cotton fabrics, linen, silk, and dense, woolen fabrics. Standard long dress is mid-knee length or three fingers above the knee. But it is quite possible to sew such a dress of any length and decorate it as you wish. When making such a dress from thick or textured fabrics, the width of the harness can be slightly increased.
Technical drawing
How to model this style:
To make this dress on thin straps, you need a scale ruler. How to make it and how to use it, see the article"Sewing scale".When cutting fabrics it is necessary to make allowances for seams and hem. Each piece on the fabric should be placed along a shared thread, otherwise there may be distortions in the product. Pattern - the diagram is given based on a standard figure of size 48, It is easier and more convenient to use graph paper to make patterns.
Front building:
Draw a right angle with apex at point A
Draw a vertical line 84 cm
Draw a horizontal line 26 cm.
From T. A put down 23 cm.
Set aside 10 cm horizontally from T.A. (the place where the strap is sewn)
Set aside 26 cm horizontally from 23cm.
Set aside 18 cm from the point 84 cm.
From point 84 cm, set aside 36 cm.
Set aside 2 cm from point 36 upwards.
For darts along the side line, lay 4 cm from top to bottom (first dart). The length of the darts is 8 cm, the depth is 2 cm. The distance between the darts is 3 cm.
Back construction:
1. Draw a right angle at point A
2. Lay down 80 cm downward
3. Lay aside 24 cm horizontally.
4. From T.A. set aside vertically 19 cm.
5. From point A, set aside horizontally 10 cm (the place where the strap is sewn)
6. From point 19 draw an auxiliary line 24 cm
7. From point 80 to set aside 17 cm
8. Defer 34 cm from point 80.
9. From t 34 set aside 2 cm upwards.
Connect the resulting points in accordance with the drawing
Shoulder strap: strap length 42 cm, width 5 cm (ready-made 2.5 cm).
Material consumption:
one length plus 20 centimeters. This style can be attributed to economical models.
this style is suitable for almost all women, regardless of their shape. However, women with curvaceous should be avoided when sewing this style of fine shiny fabrics and stretch knitwear. For overweight women in this case, more dense materials are suitable. The waistline can be emphasized with a thin leather strap, which can be bright or contrasting with the main color of the dress. Recommended dress length: to the knee or slightly above the knee, but other lengths are possible.
What material is preferable for sewing:
The model can be made from any kind of material. It can be made either from fabric with a pattern or plain.
Sewing difficulty level:
production does not require much effort, entry level, suitable for beginners.
Modeling options:
This style can be used as a basis to which, if desired, original additional decorative elements can be added as a result, resulting in a modified style. Ruches, flounces, folds, additional straps can act as such decorative elements.

What clothes can be combined with:
The dress with thin straps in lightweight fabric can be worn solo or combined with a light blouse or short-sleeved T-shirt. Such a dress made of dense fabric can be combined with a regular blouse, shirt. The dress with thin straps will perfectly fit into the wardrobe of almost any style. You can add completely different accessories and decorative elements to it. Made from "dressy" material, it can be a sophisticated option evening dress... This style looks stylish in a duet with a short fitted jacket, with a long fitted jacket or knitted openwork cardigan.
At the request of our website visitors, we offer another direction in modeling - this is off-the-shoulder dress or blouse, in which the front and back are connected by straps.
Modeling is, first of all, the embodiment of your ideas. This is an endless ocean of possibilities for creativity in creating clothes.
And here it is important to understand the fundamental principles and not tie yourself to literally following the instructions. What I mean?
If you are going to create something using any methodology, read it, understand the details, so that you get an idea of the process. Take this manual, for example. See what point K means? This is the depth of the notch at the center of the front. Points 3 and 6; this is the depth of the armhole cutout. Compare these values with what you want to have as a result of the simulation. You can change them to either side, i.e. decrease or increase. The same can be said about the width of the entire product at the chest and waist. This is just an example that shows you one of the trends in modeling this kind of blouses or dresses.
If you have not yet built a base pattern for yourself, use it and do it.
We take a drawing of our base pattern and copy the shelf and back onto a blank sheet of paper
To build, we need a separate back and shelf.
On the pattern-base of the back, along the side cut down from point P, measure 4 cm and set point 1. From point 1, draw a horizontal line to the intersection with the middle line of the back and set point 2. This will be the upper cut of the back.
Departing from the side cut of the base pattern by 1 cm to the left, draw a new side cut line parallel to it.
We close the dart. We draw the upper and lower cuts with a smooth line.
On the pattern of the base of the front, close the bust dart, transfer it to the dart at the waist. To do this, we cut the line G74 (points G7 and 4 denote the tops of the darts of the chest and from the waist).
The top of the new dart (point E) will now be on the bisector of the angle of the open dart at a distance of approximately 4 cm from point G7. To build, you can use a compass.
Along the line of the side cut down from point P, measure 4 cm and set point 5. Having departed from the side cut by 1 cm, draw a new line parallel to the previous line of the side cut. From point 5, draw a perpendicular to the intersection with the new side cut line and set point 6.
Now we draw the upper cut of the front of the bodice. On the line of the middle of the front downward from point B4, we set aside 13-15 cm we get point K. From point G7 up along the line of the closed tuck we set aside 10 cm we get point K1. Connecting points K, K1 and point 6, we draw up the line of the upper cut of the front.

In this article I will tell you how to sew and properly sew the straps to your clothes yourself. You will also learn how to make adjustable straps - those that can be lengthened and shortened.
So let's start with a simple regular shoulder strap ...
How to sew a shoulder strap.
Firstly, I will immediately make a reservation that if it is not important for you that the straps are made of the same fabric as the dress itself, then shoulder straps can be made very quickly from a bias tape(sold in the textile department of stores or in the department of sewing accessories).
The bias tape looks like a semi-finished shoulder strap, that is, an even strip of fabric with the edges bent inward (Fig. 3 in the diagram below). So you just save time, you do not need to cut a long strip, bend and iron its edges with an iron.
But if this option does not suit you, or you did not find a bias inlay of the size you need, then we will try to make it ourselves. This is how it's done
We take a strip of fabric of the required length. The width of the strip should be 4 times wider than the future strap (fig. 1).
We bend the edges of the strip inward to the middle (Fig. 2, 3) so that the fold is kept and ironed. So we got a slanting inlay. This is how she looks in the store. The same edging can be used to process the armholes and neckline of the dress.
Now, in order for the edging to become a strap, you need to fold it in half again, edge to edge (Fig. 4) and stitch it in (Fig. 5).
That's it - the shoulder strap is ready, you can sew it on to the dress. We fasten one end of the strap in the front, and the other - in the back.
How to sew a strap to a dress.
The first way. You can simply sew on with stitches tightly. To hide the ends of the straps behind the edge of the dress and sew them tighter is such a simple, rude way.
Second way. You can sew on beautiful decorative rings in the places of the future attachment of the strap to the dress and insert the strap into them and fasten it. Here's what I mean:
Now on sale there are many decorative rings and buckles covered with rhinestones. And the strap with such a ring will become more elegant.
First you need to sew a piece of the strap in the place we need (where the strap will be attached to the dress). And attach a ring to this piece (Fig. 1, 2, 3). And then we put the end of our long strap into the sewn ring, bend this end and sew it to the strap (Fig. 4, 5, 6).
Or you can buy several rings, cut the shoulder strap into pieces and connect each ring to each other with a piece of shoulder strap (Fig. 7).
The third way - you can sew on the shoulder strap (when it is still in the edging stage) so that the edging will finish the neckline and smoothly turn into a shoulder strap. This is what I mean:
Treat the armholes separately with an oblique inlay (Fig. 2).
And then we take our bias tape of such length that it was enough to process the neckline and make 2 straps. Find the middle on this segment of the bias tape and apply this middle to the center of the neck.
And now leading the bias tape from the center of the neck, we begin to process it (the neckline) with this oblique inlay first to the left side - the inlay goes to the left along the neckline (processes it) reaches the left edge of the neckline and there it already turns into a strap (that is, the folds of the bias inlay are sewn together with the same stitch with which we have just the neck was scribbled). And the same is now to the right.
That's it, the inlay processing the neckline to the right and left of the neckline smoothly turned into a strap - fig. 3.
It can be the other way around - the neck was processed with a separate piece of inlay, and the strap that was used to process the armhole smoothly passes onto the shoulder strap. As you think it is more beautiful.
How to process the edges of the armholes and necklines with a tape is shown and described in the diagram below:
The strap is adjustable.
If we want the strap to be shortened or lengthened at our request, we can make an adjustable strap, just like in bras.
We need a buckle with a bridge (Fig. 1), a ring (Fig. 2) and a finished strap with a margin of length (Fig. 3).
The end of the strap must be pulled into the buckle so that it simply bends over the bridge and returns to the strap, to which it must be stitched after that (Fig. 4, 5, 6).
Now, on the back in the place you have planned, we attach a piece of the shoulder strap (Fig. 7), into which we insert a ring (Fig. 8, 9), fasten it well with several lines (Fig. 10).
Now we put the end of the strap (the one without the buckle) into the ring, and we also pull it into the buckle (Fig. 11, 12). All the strap is ready - this free end, which came out of the buckle, we attach to the front of the dress. You can simply sew it on, or you can also attach a ring in front and attach our end of the strap to this ring.
Nowadays, you can buy ready-made adjustable shoulder straps in stores - however, their color is limited, and they, as a rule, are all narrow. Most often they are just black and white, there are transparent ones, and there are also starziks covered with buckles in the form of butterflies or flowers.
Available on sale and a bunch beautiful ribbons, decorative buckles - and from all this variety, you can come up with many interesting straps yourself, which will become an adornment of a simply tailored dress.
You just need to remember about the sense of proportion. If your dress already has a decorative element (bow, complex drapery, intricately sewn shuttlecocks), then additional decor in the form of decoration on the straps will be superfluous.
That, perhaps, is all that I wanted to tell about the shoulder straps. All questions, wishes and advice from you, dear readers, I will be glad to see in the comments to the article... There you can also place photographs of your sewn products.
