We sew a dress for a plump woman to the floor. Dress pattern for obese women: step-by-step construction instructions. Lace Dresses

This section is dedicated to women with curvaceous... We will consider and learn how to build patterns according to several methods that are used when sewing clothes for overweight women... Here, as in the previous lessons, are used step by step instructions construction of drawings of the basis of the dress, sleeves, etc.

As an example, in the first version, we will take measurements that correspond to size 54 (chest circumference 108 cm), so to speak, for women of average splendor. In the second version, we use, as an example, measurements corresponding to size 60 (bust 120cm) for women with more curvaceous forms. In both cases, we build the patterns of the basis for the dress. semi-adjacent silhouette, in accordance with this we take into account the increase in loose fit along the lines of the chest, waist and hips.
You take measurements from your figure or from the figure of the person for whom you will sew the dress.
In any case, we recommend that after building a drawing and making a pattern, check it on something simple. For example, sew a robe out of cheap fabric. If you are not at all sure, use an old sheet or another thing that has served its time for sewing.

As a parting word: I wish you courage in your endeavors, perseverance, perseverance and patience in achieving your goal. Step by step, moving forward, you will overcome the path to perfection.
We use exactly step-by-step instructions for building drawings to demonstrate and convince you that in reality everything is not as complicated as it might seem at first glance. When you look at the finished drawing of the base pattern and have not come across anything like this before, you may get the impression that all this is incredibly difficult and almost impossible. However, I note that the impossible is more often than not what we have not yet tried to do. Good luck!

SEMI-FIT DRESS FOR MEDIUM FAT WOMEN (size 54 for example)

To build a pattern drawing, you must take the following measurements:
Recommendation: Take the correct measurements. The whole result of your efforts will depend on this.
To take measurements more accurately, it is necessary to mark the starting points: the seventh cervical vertebra, which is well defined when tilting the head, as well as the shoulder line at the base of the neck and at the junction of the arm with the shoulder. Use pins or chalk for this if the woman is dressed. If you need to put a point on the body, use a felt-tip pen that can be easily erased with an alcohol-containing liquid after the end of this procedure.
It is good if the person you are taking measurements is wearing a thin dress, or better - only underwear. He, or rather she, since we are talking about a woman, should stand upright, without tension, i.e. maintain your usual posture. This is what I draw your attention to. Because, often a woman when taking measurements or trying on, especially if she sees herself in the mirror, wanting to look slimmer, tightens her stomach, straightens her back, etc. The desire to look better is a good aspiration, but when taking measurements it can distort the real state of affairs. And a well-fitting dress for fitting, in ordinary life, will not be as comfortable as we would like, and as it should be.
Therefore, taking into account the above, turn the client away from the mirror, distract him with a peaceful conversation, tie a string around his waist, mark the starting points and proceed with measurements.

There are some differences in the proposed methods. in the methods of taking measurements, in the number of measurements, in the name of the measurements, etc. In this technique, the procedure for taking measurements is as follows:

Name of measurements and legend	cm	Taking measurements
Product length (Di)		Measure from the cervical point (seventh cervical vertebra), bringing the centimeter to the waist and to the required length.
Armhole depth (Гпр)		Measure from the seventh cervical vertebra to the horizontal, drawn with a centimeter through the armpits.
Back length to waist (Dst)		Measured from the seventh cervical vertebra to the waist line, taking into account the bulge of the shoulder blades. To do this, a thin ruler can be applied to the protruding points of the shoulder blades, the measuring tape should go over the ruler.
Back width (Shs)		Measured horizontally along the shoulder blades, between the upper corners of the armpits.
Semi-girth of the neck (US)		The measuring tape should run along the base of the neck, behind the seventh cervical vertebra, and in front of the jugular cavity (depression).
Half-girth of the chest 1st (CrI)		The measuring tape runs horizontally, behind the protruding points of the shoulder blades, in front of the base of the chest.
Semi-girth of the chest 2nd (CrII)		The measuring tape runs horizontally from the back along the protruding points of the shoulder blades, from the front along the protruding points of the chest.
The size of the groove solution (Vrv)		Measured vertically. It is removed simultaneously with the measurements of the half-girths of the chest. This is the distance from the base of the chest to its highest point.
Waist girth (St)		Measured horizontally at the narrowest point.
Half hip (Sat)		Measured horizontally, from behind along the protruding points of the buttocks, from the front, taking into account the bulge of the abdomen.
Sprout height (Bp)		Measured along the back from the shoulder at the base of the neck to the waist line. The measuring tape runs parallel to the spine.
Back shoulder height (VPS)		Measure along the back from the point of articulation of the arm with the shoulder to the waist.
Armhole width (Spr)		Measure horizontally at hand: from the junction of the arm with the body from the back to the junction of the arm with the trunk from the front. Can be calculated using a ruler placed horizontally in the armpit.
Side length (dB)		Measured from the back from the upper edge of the ruler located in the armpit to the waist line.
Shoulder length (dp)		Measure across the shoulder from the base of the neck to the point where the arm meets the shoulder.
Breast height (Bg)		Measure from the shoulder line at the base of the neck to the protruding point of the chest.
Front shoulder height (Vpp)		Measure from the point of articulation of the arm with the shoulder to the waist.
Front length to waist (Dpt)		Measure from the shoulder at the base of the neck to the waistline.
Center of the chest (Cg)		Measured horizontally between the most prominent points of the chest.
Front width (Shp)		Measured horizontally above the base of the chest between the angles of the armpits.
Width of the front on the protruding points of the chest (ШпII) Control measurement		It is measured horizontally between the angles of the armpits at the most prominent points of the chest.
Sleeve length (Dr)		Measured from where the arm meets the shoulder to the desired length.
Sleeve to elbow (drl)		Measured from where the arm meets the shoulder to the elbow.
Arm girth (Op)		Measured horizontally at the fullest upper arm (armpits).
Wrist (hand) girth Oz		Measured by the wrist joint, taking into account the bone.
Free fit allowances For a free fit, add 4-5 cm to the measurement of the second half-girth of the chest CrII, to the measurement of the half-girth of the thighs Sb - 3 cm and to the measurement of the half-girth of the waist St - 2 cm.

Let's start building.

G6 we connect with a smooth curve, thereby completing the construction of the front armhole .

Lateral front line.
From point T10 set aside to the left 1.5 cm and put a point T11... Points G6 and T11 connect with a straight line.

Waist line design.
From point T11 postpone up 1 cm and put a point T12... Points T8 and T12 connect with a smooth curve.

Formation of the lateral line in the hip area.
From point B6 set aside to the right 1/2 the difference between the measurements of the half-girth of the hips Sat with an allowance for a free fit (60 + 3 = 63 cm) and the second half-girth of the chest CrII with an allowance for a free fit (54 + 4 = 58cm) and put a point B7:
B6 B7 = (63-58): 2 = 2.5cm.
Points T12 and B7 connect with a smooth curve.

Bottom front width.

Undercut depth.
From point T13 to the right and to the left we put off by 1.25 cm and put dots T14 and T15, which we connect with points C5 and B9. (See fig. 42)

Construction completed.
But before you start cutting, do not be too lazy to take a centimeter and check the basic measurements again. Pay particular attention to the waist circumference, since in this technique, when constructing darts along the waist line, not a calculated value is used, but a constant. If, when checking, you find significant discrepancies between the figure and the drawing (namely in the waist circumference), they can be easily eliminated by reducing or increasing the gap of the darts along the waist line.

This pattern drawing for the base of the dress is a guide for creating a wide variety of patterns. Before embarking on modeling, you need to check the pattern, "plant" it on the figure, if necessary, make adjustments. And only after you are fully confident that everything is in order, you can safely begin to create.

And remember, the road will be mastered by the walking!

I sincerely wish you success!

Every season in the fashion world there are things that are gaining popularity at lightning speed. In 2017, the trend was the shirt dress. Long elegant or short playful, it always looks great and is versatile. Many people call it the novelty of the season, but in fact, this thing has a long history. Over the century, short and long shirt dresses have appeared in different interpretations of the most famous fashion designers. But this thing entered the fashion world thanks to a real legendary woman who created her elegant style that conquered the whole world.

In this article, needlewomen will find detailed instructions for themselves on which you can sew a dress-shirt with your own hands. The dress pattern is very easy to build, and the assembly and processing of the cut details does not take much time.

A bit of history

A century ago, Coco Chanel first offered the fashionistas of 1916 an original dress. In the days of corsets and crinolines, wearing a comfortable shirt dress for women was a real challenge of our time. The main details of the novelty were borrowed from men's clothing... In the post-war period, thanks to the trend of military uniforms, the pattern of the shirt dress changed a little: patch pockets, shoulder straps, a placket in the center of the shelf and a collar were added. It was during this period, due to its practicality, that it was at the peak of its popularity.

Measurements for the template

It is best to build a pattern for a shirt dress on paper or construction film. Constructions are not performed directly on the fabric. The exception is models with a cut-off skirt, the details of which are built directly on the canvas.

To build a template, measurements are first taken:

• the volume of the neck, chest, waist, hips;
• shoulder and back width;
• chest height;
• front and back to the waist;
• length of the product.

Base grid - the basis of the template

For beginners, the most difficult part of a shirt dress pattern will be the armhole and sleeve. The rest of the cut details will not be difficult. But if you take the measurements correctly and transfer them to the workpiece, then the sleeve will ideally fit in the armhole without defects in fit.

The drawing of the workpiece begins by drawing a rectangle. One side should be equal to the length of the product, the other - half the chest circumference + 2 cm for a free fit. Next, the lines of the auxiliary grid are marked in the rectangle.

Horizontal lines:

• At chest height.
• In accordance with the measurements of the length of the front and back to the waist.
• At the level of the hips, which are 20-23 cm below the waist.

Verticals:

• From the chest line to the upper border of the rectangle, departing from the larger side of the rectangle half the measurement of the back width +0.5 cm.
• From the resulting vertical, a distance equal to the half-girth of the chest, divided by four + 2 cm, recedes.
• Between the two drawn verticals, they find the middle along the chest line and lower the perpendicular down, which will serve as a reference point for the side seam.

After all the manipulations on the shirt dress pattern drawing, a base mesh will be ready, on which the level of the chest and armholes, the level of the waist, hips, as well as the zone of the back, armholes and front shelf and the border of the front and back along the side seam are determined.

Drawing the neck

The neck is marked from the upper corners of the rectangle on its smaller side at the top of the drawing. The construction of the neckline on the back is done as follows:

• Divide the half-girth of the neck by three and add half a centimeter.
• This value is measured from the upper corner of the rectangle on the side where half of the back width measurement has already been marked, and a point is put.
• The edge of the neck is raised by an amount equal to the half-girth of the neck, divided by 10 plus 0.8 cm.
• from the resulting point, draw a rounded neck of the back.

The front throat is slightly different. Here you will need to calculate the following values:

Building the shoulder and armhole

Constructing the shoulder cuts is as easy as constructing the neckline. Here you will not need to calculate the size of the back dart, since you can sew a shirt dress without darts, unlike other women's products. The construction of the shoulder and armhole is done as follows:

• The shoulder line should start at the top of the neckline and go obliquely: for sloping shoulders, they make a slope of 3.5 cm, for normal ones - 2.5 cm, and for high ones - 1.5 cm.
• The armhole begins to be drawn from the edge of the shoulder cut to the auxiliary verticals of the base mesh of the armhole zone. On them, 1/3 of their size is marked from the chest line, it is to this point that the armhole is lowered and smoothly rounded to the midpoint, from which the border of the side seam runs.
• The shoulder seam of the front should be underestimated by 2 cm more, therefore, two more auxiliary horizontals are outlined, which will help to build the cut correctly.
• From the extreme point of the shoulder, similar to the back, draw an armhole.

Side seam

Depending on the model of the dress, the side seam can be beveled by a few centimeters to the waist line and smoothly bring the line to the hips, this will make the silhouette fit. Or you can leave the cut straight and then arrange a belt or drawstring with an elastic band. In both cases, along the line of the hips from the lateral vertical boundaries, they measure half the measurement of the hip girth +2 cm for free fit and put points through which the lines of the seams are drawn.

Sleeve

Perhaps the most difficult element in a dress is the sleeve. Of course, you can refuse it if it is a summer version of the product. But how to sew a dress, shirt with sleeves, and most importantly, how to build its template? To begin with, you will need the following measurements:

• armhole cut length, which can be measured directly from the template;
• upper arm girth;
• wrist circumference + 2 cm;
• the length of the sleeve.

The construction is carried out according to the following scheme:

• Draw a vertical line equal to the length of the sleeve.
• From the top point of the vertical, the length of the armhole is plotted, divided by three and minus 2 cm.
• From this point, at a right angle to the left and right, lay on ½ part of the girth of the arm.
• From the extreme points of the horizontal to the top of the vertical, lines are drawn that are closed in a triangle.
• At the bottom point to the right and to the left, lay ½ part of the girth of the wrist, taking into account an allowance of 2 cm.
• The sides of the previously obtained triangle are divided in half, dots are put and the resulting parts are again divided in half and dots are put.
• starting from left to right, they begin to build an okat:
  • the first point is brought into the triangle by 2 cm;
  • the second is left unchanged;
  • the third is taken out of the triangle by 1.5 cm;
  • the fourth is the top of the okat, it remains in place;
  • the fifth - taken out for the triangle by 1.5 cm;
  • the sixth remains unchanged;
  • seventh - brought inside by 1 cm;
  • the obtained points are smoothly connected with a line and an okat is obtained: on the left - the area of ​​connection with the front, on the right - with the back;
  • the horizontal lines of the drawing are connected by straight lines.

The pattern of an elegant outfit is ready.

Modern fashion clothes differs from the models of previous seasons not only in its unusual cut, but also unusual for many comfort. - a multifunctional and convenient product, which must be settled this year in the wardrobes of all women of fashion, without exception.

Shirt dress is a rather original product, which has been at the peak of popularity for several years. It should be noted that the cut of such a wardrobe item changes from year to year, its accessories change, but not its functional tasks.

Simply put, the shirt-dress style, which was in vogue last year, has lost its relevance this year.

Outdated models have been replaced by new proposals, but no worse than the previous options. After all, they can also be worn to work, worn for a walk with children, and even go on first dates in them.

Can I sew a shirt dress myself at home? And what is needed for this?

Choosing your perfect shirt dress

Unfortunately, not every fashion novelty fits the needs of all the fair sex. For example, girls who have possession are unlikely to buy themselves a tight-fitting elastic dress or a multi-layer skirt that visually adds volume.

But a shirt-dress is clothing that suits everyone, without exception.

In addition, it can be either short or long, or sewn completely without it. Bright embroidery, multi-colored stickers and accent, noticeable buttons, again, are not required elements of a fashionable look this season.

At the same time, it is also important that such an outfit can be sewn quickly enough at home. And this means that any girl or woman can try on a restrained or festive shirt dress tomorrow.

How to sew the novelty of the season?

There are many patterns available to make a stylish shirt dress at home.

An important role in this matter is played and, after all, if, for example, without proper experience, you try to sew a product from, you can fail, since it is rather difficult to process.

At the same time, cotton fabrics, for example, satin, are considered to be the most "comfortable" materials for sewing.

We take a men's shirt as a basis

Oddly enough, but the simplest women's elongated shirt is very quickly sewn on the basis of the standard male shirt. So prepare:

• a boyfriend's or husband's shirt that is trendy this season;
• threads to match;
• sewing meter;
• soap or chalk;
• paper;
• pencil;
• scissors.

Start designing your fashionable outfit by taking measurements. Measure your bust, waist and hips, and decide if the finished length is suitable for your specific needs. Measure your shirt and see how comfortable the original size is.

After that, spread the men's shirt on a hard surface, first turning it inside out. With the help of chalk, draw a line along which the collar of the garment will be cut. You can make either a slightly rounded neckline or a boat neckline.

Unfasten the buttons and mark a seam line if the shirt needs to be reduced in width. Conduct the final fitting.

All that remains to be done after this is to process on sewing machine line the neckline and sew the two halves of the garment together.

By the way, if you shorten the sleeves, then you can quickly and easily cut out a thin one from the remnants of the fabric, which will emphasize the fragility of the figure and highlight the waist.

Another option for creating a fashionable shirt dress will require cutting out two items of clothing: a men's shirt and a women's T-shirt.

Spread the shirt out on a hard surface and draw a line below the armhole to cut the entire top of the garment from the bottom. Unfasten the buttons and sew the shelves to the “feminine” side (right side is on the left).

In this case, be sure to take into account the finished width of the product, so as not to get too loose or too tight-fitting outfit.

After that, spread the T-shirt and outline the cut line, which should go 10-15 cm below the cutout.

Cut the pieces and sew them together by hand, trying to evenly join the side seams. Turn the resulting model inside out and stitch the shirt with a T-shirt.

Stylish summer shirt dress is ready. Match it with trendy sunglasses, a light handbag, a large hat and sandals for maximum comfort during this hot summer.

What to wear with?

Since elongated Women's shirts, in fact, are just a kind of dress, it is customary to wear them without additions in the form of trousers or jeans. Only very short models can be combined with leather leggings or thick dark tights.

In addition, shirt dresses can be combined with any footwear. They look great with both open flat sandals and stiletto heels, as well as sneakers or summer boots.

If necessary, the same outfit can play the role of a strict office attire and stylish clubwear. All you have to do is swap discreet loafers for pumps, pick up a bright clutch and focus on your lips.

So, a dress shirt is a versatile piece of clothing that is always appropriate under any circumstances. Can't find the model you are looking for in the store? Need a custom size? Or do you just want to stand out? Buy fabric and create your own unique look in just one evening without leaving your home!

Shirt dresses are back in trend. The spring-summer season of this year announces this model as a hit of every woman's wardrobe. And fashion trends do not impose strict requirements on the product, giving a wide scope for experimenting with color and style. The correct pattern of a shirt dress will allow you to sew any model: from an elegant office option to a light, airy outfit for a walk. To get the perfect outfit for any occasion, just follow the instructions.

Considering fashionable catalogs, noting the simplicity and unpretentiousness of the cut, every third woman thinks about how to sew a shirt dress on her own, because only in this case you can achieve a perfect fit. To begin with, it is worth deciding on the style, it depends on it whether the work on creation will be easier or more complicated. There are many varieties, so as not to get lost in the variety of forms, several factors must be taken into account:

1. Decide on the silhouette. Every woman knows which structural elements will suit her, and which are strictly prohibited. What to bring to the cut to emphasize beauty and hide imperfections.
2. Choose the purpose of the dress. Whether it will be created for everyday life, office work, a picnic trip or an evening out - the style, the amount of work to be done depends on it.
3. Pick up fabric. The type of material largely determines the cut, because it is difficult to create air waves from a tough, unyielding matter.
4. You can sew a shirt dress both according to ready-made templates and according to your own drawings. Another option is to just convert the old thing.

One of the most popular styles is a dress in the form of a classic men's shirt with an elongated silhouette.... The cut is straight, sleeves are long or short. The length can be adjusted according to the shape. A shirt-type dress for a woman has the following features:

• simplicity and elegance;
• free cut bodice;
• classic collar;
• buttons on the placket.

Monochrome models are successfully combined with pumps with heels, laconic accessories in the form of a men's leather belt at the waist and a strict bag. Plaid multicolor shirts look best with ballerinas, loafers, moccasins, bold design backpacks, textile, leather or suede belts.

The pattern of a summer shirt dress often involves open shoulders, emphasizing femininity and fragility. It can be a style when top line straight, it starts from the clavicle in front, from the back of the scapula. Or an option in which the cutouts of the sleeves go from the collar to the elbow, exposing the upper part of the arm.

A dress with a flared hem and accentuated waist in the style of the 50s is a little more difficult to sew. The style will add charm to the owners of the hourglass figure, and with the right choice of fabric and accessories, the outfit is perfect for a walk or a date. The design of a sleeveless shirt dress in this style involves a stand-up collar, which can be decorated with stones, embroidery or lace, which will add an evening accent to the image. It remains to pick up high-heeled shoes, an interesting or, on the contrary, a laconic clutch.

The pattern of a shirt dress for a full figure is usually characterized by a loose silhouette. It can be not only a "razletayka" like a hoodie, but also an elegant dress with a belt below the waist (if height allows), or a shelf under the bust. Interesting volumetric designs (for example, pockets or a collar-collar) will help to visually balance the figure, creating a beautiful image.

The wrap dress is another interesting variation on the shirt cut. Suitable for almost any physique. An obligatory element is a belt. This can be a thin drawstring, a wide fabric sash, or cute ribbons on the side.

Manufacturing materials

Having decided on the style, you need to choose the fabric. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the seasonality, the preferred scope of use. For example, frivolous chiffon flounces will be inappropriate in the office, and guipure in picnic attire. When sewing dresses of shirt styles, the following materials are used:

1. Cotton. Clothes made of cotton are perfect for everyday use: walking, shopping, family outdoor recreation. This material is a great option for sewing dresses for beginners.
2. For these purposes, a shirt dress made of denim... A dense, practical material requires certain skills when working with it, but the result will be an outfit that will definitely not get dusty in the wardrobe.
3. More capricious silk is an excellent choice for sewing dress-up dresses. A light shirt-style cocktail dress or an evening floor-length version of this fabric will create an unforgettable look. The use of decorative inserts made of delicate lace is not prohibited. Graceful guipure will add solemnity.
4. A shirt dress made of chiffon can have structural elements: drapery, flying sleeves, folds, a complex cut hem. The airiness of the material will allow you to sew a gorgeous outfit for a summer walk.
5. A jersey shirt dress with a one-cut sleeve is a great option for the office. It will create a strict but neat image.

The correct choice of fabric will facilitate the work of a beginner, set the tone for the entire product, and determine the need to use lining and shaping elements. It is on him that the type of stitching, the choice of accessories and decor depend.

Pattern creation

Asking the question of how to sew a shirt dress, novice seamstresses experience initially uncertainty in their abilities, and therefore prefer to turn to ready-made patterns. They are abundantly provided by illustrated editions for needlewomen, blogs of skilled craftswomen, video tutorials, master classes. Undoubtedly, a dress-shirt by a pattern from Burda magazine will be fashionable, but it may not fit. The parameters of such patterns are not suitable for everyone. Finished pattern for sewing a dress-shirt will come in handy if the future owner can boast of a slender figure.

Of course, you can pay attention to simple models... A basic shirt dress without a pattern with your own hands is not so easy to sew. But with a certain skill it is possible. If you want to start from the very simple option, it is worth asking how to sew a dress from a shirt that is dusty in the closet. However, when trying to get a more interesting outfit with a fluffy skirt and fitted silhouette, you will have to work hard. It is not so difficult to create a pattern according to individual parameters if you break the process down into stages.

There are many different services on the network for the production of templates with individual sizes. They make it easier to create a drawing: you just need to enter your data. Even professional seamstresses do not hesitate to use similar programs.

Technical drawing of the dress Dress pattern with one-seam sleeve

As a rule, fitted shirt dresses are made cut-off at the waist, which makes it possible to model the bodice separately. In order for the result not to disappoint, you should take as a basis the model of your own dress, which fits well and meets all the style requirements.

Then you need to take all the necessary measurements:

• girths of the chest, neck, waist;
• length to the waist on the back;
• front length to waist;
• back width;
• center and height of the chest.

Next - the marking of the darts. They should be partially transferred to the armhole on the shelf (about 2 cm). Darts at the waist are made as desired: instead of them, you can outline folds that will gently frame the interception with a belt. It is important to monitor the alignment of the shoulder line. Otherwise, the product will turn out to be crooked. The next step is to draw a bar with future buttons. It, as a rule, is performed with a fold, therefore you need to take this moment into account in the drawing.
Move part of the bust dart on the shelf to the armhole Raise the end points of the shoulder sections. Extend the shoulder line on the shelf
Move apart the details of the shelf and back. Deepen the armhole by dropping the line under the armhole down. From the control marks on the line of the armhole of the shelf and back, retreat half of the shoulder lengthening. Connect new points. New armhole line received
Transfer the dart to the bulge of the chest to the side cut. Cut along this line and close the old dart. Deepen the neck of the front by half a centimeter. From the line of the middle of the front - the line of the half-seam - outline the fastener bar The resulting detail of the fastener bar

When creating a diagram of this element, it is necessary to take into account the width of the armhole modeled on the bodice. Adjusting the sleeve ridge will allow a decrease in its height with a simultaneous increase in length in order to successfully stitch the part into the armhole.

An integral part of the sleeve is the cuff. It is quite simple to introduce it into the diagram - it is a rectangle about 12 cm wide, which is twice the indicator of the finished part. The length is equal to the girth of the wrist.
Mark the line at the bottom of the sleeve. Decorate the bottom of the sleeve with a smooth line. Draw a cut in the middle between the center line of the sleeve part and the back seam. Draw cuff

The classic version is a standing, turn-down, with a cut-off stand. First you need to measure the size of the neck on the shelf and on the back. Draw a rectangle with sides:

• a - the length of the neck of the back and the shelf;
• b - width 9.5 cm.

Next, you need to draw a line (horizontal) 3.5 cm below. She divides the drawing into a stand (lower part) and the collar itself (upper half). It is necessary to make adjustments: the rise above the rack and the shoulder of the gate by 0.75 cm.Then outline the contours of the finished part, taking into account the extension of the stitching line by 1.5 cm.
Measure the length of the neckline on the shelf and back. Cut the collar along the marked vertical lines and push it apart along the departure line

Skirt pattern creation

In the selected model, a sun skirt looks good. You need to start creating a drawing with a circle equal to the size of the half-girth of the waist, divided by 3.14. The belt line corresponds to the length of the lower section of the bodice.

The radius of the circle is equal to the sum of the lengths of the slices (lower) of the shelf and back, divided by 3.14. Then it needs to be extended from the center point to the required length of the skirt. The resulting circle parts are one detail. You will need two of them.

So, all the parts are ready:

• 2 parts of the upper part of the shelf;
• 1 piece of the top of the back with a fold;
• 2 details of the lower part of the shelf;
• 1 detail of the bottom of the back with a fold;
• 2 sleeve details;
• 2 details of the collar and stand;
• 2 cuff details;
• 2 skirt details;
• 1 belt piece.

Cutting out a shirt dress for a girl is done in a similar way, taking into account smaller sizes. Styles for young women of fashion can be exactly repeated by adults. At the same time, a very cute family look is created, which is often used in photo shoots of mothers and daughters. This idea is also good for a portrait of the whole family, because dads and sons love shirts too.

The horizontal, vertical and parts of the circles of radii R1 and R form a pattern of half of the skirt.
R = (The sum of the lengths of the lower sections of the front and back) / 3.14 / (1/2)
Measure separately the length of the lower section of the back on the drawing of the bodice. Set aside this length in the drawing from point A along the inner circle to point C. From point B along the outer circle, set aside a value proportional to the length of the arc AC to point D: BD = AC * BF / AE. ACDB - half of the back panel of the skirt
The front panel consists of two halves: figures AEFB and C1EFD1, connected with a button fastener in the middle

Do-it-yourself dress-shirt sewing

The most simple pattern dress-shirts require care when performing sewing. The basic rule is to carefully transfer the pattern to the fabric, observing the indent on the seams.

Cut open

The first step is the preparation of tools and material. To transfer the pattern to the fabric you will need:

• scissors;
• crayon;
• ruler.

The material must be washed before work (especially for those types that shrink), ironed.

When buying cotton, wool, viscose, silk, as well as printed fabrics, you should add an extra 15-20 cm to the required size for emergencies.

After on seamy side of the future product, you need to transfer the marks. Then we outline the outline of the parts, using an indent of one and a half centimeters for the seam allowance. In this case, it is imperative to remember about combining the pattern (cell, pattern). Cut out the details. The preparation is over, then we sew a dress-shirt with our own hands.

Sewing technology

For work you will need sewing machine with functions of straight, elastic and zigzag stitching or overlock optionally. It is better to start sewing a dress-shirt with a sketch of the details on a living thread. So it will be possible to correct the dimensions by preliminary fitting. The work process is as follows:

1. First you need to duplicate the selection, which will allow the finished product to retain its shape. Then process their inner edges with an overlock. Connect them to the sides.
2. Make a shoulder seam. To do this, connect the parts and sew.
3. Duplicate and assemble the details of the collar, sew it into the neckline, process it.
4. Sew in the sleeves, processing the cut on the bottom of it. Join the inner seam with the side seam on the bodice.
5. Finish and attach the cuffs.
6. Sew the details of the skirt, stitch to the bodice, not forgetting about the darts or folds.
7. Make a hem at the bottom of the skirt.
8. Sew a belt, attach buttons.

A shirt dress for a girl is sewn according to the same principle. However, children's clothes should first of all be comfortable, so it is better to use natural breathable fabrics. Pattern, color and length can be any. For example, a mini for a toddler girl (a convenient option with leggings for kindergarten), a midi for a schoolgirl, or a maxi for a teenager.

DIY kids shirts are a good rehearsal before creating an adult dress... It's worth starting small: sewing simple styles. Ready-made adult body shirts will be of great help in this matter. From them you can sew a charming outfit for a baby. Tighten daddy's shirt from the sides, adjust in length, intercept the waist with a belt, a pair pleasant little things in the form of a decorative lace insert along the hem or a bow - the girl will be delighted.

There are many pretty styles for little ladies, very simple to perform. If you are interested in how to sew a dress-shirt with your own hands so that it is easy, you can start with a simple style. The neckline is the usual round, short sleeves - this option is easy to do, having cut out only four details: the front, the back and two flaps for the "flashlights".
