How to make a transformable dress pattern, useful tips for beginners

Many girls like the opportunity to change their look during one evening. A good solution is to create a transformable dress, the pattern of which is quite simple. This part of the wardrobe is suitable for girls, regardless of their height, weight and waist circumference. Such dresses are made in half-sun and sun models, which eliminates the need to measure hip circumference. The cut and sewing of the dress is so simple that it is possible to make it yourself at home if you have basic sewing skills.

Required Tools

To sew a transformable dress, you must have the following tools:

• threads for basting parts of the dress;
• threads for working on a machine;
• large scissors;
• small scissors;
• matches or lighter;
• measuring tape;
• chalk or soap for cutting;
• sewing machine;
• sewing pins for connecting parts.

The only value that determines the size of a dress is the waist circumference. For a comfortable dress, the waistband width should be slightly smaller than this value (for a comfortable fit). Waist width is measured at the narrowest point on the torso. Measurements should be taken while standing, and the value should be recorded while inhaling. After measuring the girth, a measuring tape is tied around the waist. Another tape measures the required length of the dress. Length measurements should be taken while standing.

The girth and height of the chest do not matter for the cut and tailoring of the transformer. Wide straps starting from the waist and covering the chest can be tied in any place, which varies depending on the method of their attachment. Thanks to the simple cut and minimal number of measurements, it is possible to make such an outfit yourself at home.

Transformable clothes: endless outfits

Having examined my wardrobe the other day, I discovered a catastrophic lack of space and hangers.

But this is not so scary compared to the fact that I really want to replenish this very wardrobe with new clothes for the new season, but there is a catastrophic lack of money in my wallet.

So, this whole sad situation made me take a closer look at transformable things. Simply put, you buy one dress/trench coat/jacket/shoes and wear them several different ways. And space in the wardrobe is saved, both hangers and finances.

For example, this dress, created by designer Malcolm Harris, can be worn five different ways. For a year and a half, thousands of women from all over the world expressed their opinions on the dress of their dreams. The designer put all the wishes together and created the “One Dress” dress.

Angelina Jolie herself wished to have three such dresses in her wardrobe. When she called Malcolm, he simply hung up, thinking it was a stupid prank. But Angie was persistent and finally proved her identity the third time.

If you wish, you can sew such a dress yourself (for those whose hands grow from the right place - this is not about me). The style is simple - 2 circles sewn together, with holes for the head, arms and legs, plus four holes for the belt.

The designers of the Haylee Star brand did a great job and created a dress from which you can create 110 (!) other dresses. A never-ending outfit indeed.

• Several other transformable dresses

Cardigans with long tails can also easily fit under a transformer - the tails can be tied in a variety of ways, tucked, secured with a belt, or used as a cape or voluminous scarf. The main thing is to have imagination.

In principle, dresses and blouses are the most common transformers in a woman's wardrobe. Transformable outerwear looks much more interesting. I really liked the classic beige trench coat, which with a flick of the wrist turns into a dress and bolero.

From outerwear to underwear. This bra can also be called a transformer to some extent: its straps can be fastened in three ways. Agree, it’s not always beautiful when straps peek out from under an evening dress - such a bra will save the situation.

And now to the fun part: transformable shoes.

2 in 1 shoes are a very useful and economical purchase. Whether you want to wear shoes or ankle boots, or you want to fasten the top part to them and walk further in the boots.

• These funny sneakers that turn into flip-flops are created using the same principle.

But the most ingenious invention is shoes with a hidden heel. This idea came to the minds of employees of the insurance company Sheila's Wheels, who suffered accidents due to high-heeled shoes. When you get behind the wheel, just tuck your heel into the sole and drive. I don’t know how practical these shoes are, but I am attracted by their futuristic style.

Another option for transformable shoes are shoes with removable backs of different colors and styles, plus a folding heel. The look is, of course, dubious, but the idea is not bad.

Another wonderful invention is DIY shoes. The principle is this: you buy these strange overshoes and create the model you like by cutting off silicone circles.

Of all the things I was able to find on the vast expanses of the Internet, my favorite was this accessory in the form of long gloves sewn together. It can be worn as a scarf, belt or headdress. Very stylish and original!

In general, the main thing in creating transformers is imagination. Sometimes even the most ordinary men's shirt can be turned into a cute and feminine bustier top.

And finally - a super hat. This is probably a good place to rob banks.

Preparatory work

Before starting work, you should take measurements and buy the necessary material. The required amount of fabric is calculated depending on the required size of the product. The material you choose for sewing is knitted, which can be easily reshaped.

The advantage of a transformable dress is made of a material that has a monochromatic structure or with an abstract pattern. Large patterns may look unsightly with different ways of tying the dress.

When purchasing material, pay attention to its ability to wrinkle. It needs to be minimal. The fabric should easily change shape and there should be no folds on it. It is this material that will hold the shape of the straps well when creating different options for tying the transformer. If you change the binding, the folds will not be visible. This property of the material allows you to change looks during the evening without changing clothes. A girl will look good only in high-quality fabric and the ability to tie a transformer beautifully.

Simple wearing options

Even the simplest winding involves two varieties, and it is impossible to count how many there are in total; it’s not for nothing that the dress got its name. To get the basic version, do this:

1. The dress is placed at the waist.
2. The straps are thrown over the shoulders, crossed on the back and brought forward under the chest.
3. They wrap them around the waist and bring them out behind the back again.
4. Tie it with a beautiful knot or bow.

If you straighten the fabric well, you will get a fairly strict look, acceptable even in the office, or you can narrow the straps and get a more open option. The straps are twisted into a rope, tied in knots, passed under the armpits, wrapped around the arms, forming a kind of sleeve - truly the variety of options is endless.

The convertible dress is ideal for bridesmaids, but it can also be used as the basis for an everyday look. It is also suitable for a photo shoot of the expectant mother, and for ladies with curvy figures it will be a real salvation.

Stages of pattern creation and cutting rules

Patterns may vary in the length and cut of the skirt. The best choice would be a semi-sun skirt. When choosing a sun skirt, when cutting the fabric, a large amount of unused material remains.

The sequence of actions is as follows:

1. Choosing the length and style of the skirt.
2. Cut out the fabrics.
3. Processing of slices.
4. Sewing and heat treatment.

First, select the required length of the skirt. Depending on it, the required piece of fabric is determined. When choosing a half-sun and knee-length skirt, a piece of fabric 1500 mm wide and 2000 mm long is used. If the dress has a maxi length, a piece of fabric for the skirt is required up to 1 m. In this case, the length of the fabric cut is 4500 mm. These calculations are correct when choosing a semi-sun skirt. When choosing a sun flare, you need to double the length of the fabric cut. The diagram below is correct for sewing a dress with a skirt length of 600 mm, half-sun cut. Based on it, you can create a sun skirt pattern, and also adjust the length to the desired level.

The fabric is cut as follows:

1. A piece of fabric 2000 mm long and 1500 mm wide is laid out on a flat, smooth surface. The fabric is pre-smoothed.
2. The cut of the skirt begins from the top edge. You need to draw two circles. The distance between them is 600 mm - this is the length of the skirt. The small girth circumference coincides with the waist girth value.
3. When the skirt is drawn, the remaining piece of fabric is cut across the width into two wide straps. Their length coincides with the length of the piece of fabric and is 2000 mm. The width of the two straps is equal. They take up all the space left on the piece of fabric after cutting the skirt.
4. A rectangle is cut out on the side of the skirt - this is a belt. The length of the rectangle should be equal to the waist circumference - 30 mm. The 30mm drop helps the waistband fit snugly around the waist as it is the main support. The width of this rectangle is selected individually and ranges from 7 to 9 cm.

After completing the above procedures, the parts are cut out of the fabric. The slices are being processed. When choosing fabric for sewing knitwear or oil, it is better to process the sections with fire or cut the material with hot scissors. When treating sections with fire, you should check the reaction of the fabric to the flame on a small section. It is better to use a lighter with a short flame. After processing the seams, sewing begins.

Construction of magical vestment

A more detailed study of the issue reveals that there are quite a lot of “magic” outfits. These include skirts, vests, tunics, and even cardigans. There are options that transform into zouave pants, a hooded top and an original cocktail dress.

A master class on sewing such things assumes that the needlewoman has some experience in working with stretch fabrics. On the other hand, the pattern of the outfit, known online as “Infinity,” is so simple that it will not cause problems even for a beginner.

Tips for choosing material

The outfit does not have fasteners, and some wearing options suggest that the dress will stay on the figure due to the tension of the fabric, so you should give preference to knitwear with a sufficient amount of elastane. But you shouldn’t buy completely synthetic ones, because in such clothes it will get hot very quickly. Supplex, in particular, is precisely why it is not recommended, although it stretches in two directions.

In addition, the fabric should not fray or show arrows. Of course, processing the cuts with an overlocker will save the situation, but you shouldn’t complicate your life, since there is a good selection in stores. It is best to choose flowing jersey or “butter” - these types of knitwear stretch well, allow the skin to breathe and are comfortable to work with.

The highlight of the dress lies in the folds it creates, so the choice is made of plain fabrics. Images with gradient coloring will look impressive, and for evening dresses the “spark” created by the lurex thread or options with shimmering coating are appropriate. You just need to check that such decor does not give the material excessive rigidity.

Sewing technology

The cut transformable dress consists of 4 parts:

• skirt;
• 2 straps;
• belt.

If you choose a model with a sun skirt, it is sewn from two pieces of fabric to save material. In this case, the number of parts increases by one unit. You can cut out the sun model's skirt from a single piece of fabric, but in this case a larger piece of fabric is needed.

To sew a dress, you should follow a certain sequence:

1. Baste the skirt to the belt. The length of the belt is several centimeters shorter than the waist circumference. The belt must be slightly tensioned when basting parts. In this case, the dress will be securely fastened at the waist.
2. Initially, all seams are made by hand using a needle and thread. After sewing the skirt and waistband together, the back seam is formed. The belt and skirt are sewn into one piece. After this operation, it is recommended to try it on and make sure that the belt sits evenly at the waist.
3. Then you should baste the straps. You should choose the exact location of the straps on the belt by folding the outfit in half. In this case, the back seam located on the waistband of the skirt should be on the left, and the center of the front of the outfit on the right. The fold formed on the right will be the center for basting the parts. First, one strap is basted on the narrow side, then the same is done from the second strap.
4. All operations performed are repeated on a sewing machine. After this, the threads that were used to connect the pieces of the outfit manually are removed. The dress can be heat treated.

A transformable dress is an outfit that girls love for its versatility and practical cut, which is also quite easy to sew.

The choice of strap tying method allows girls to choose a look depending on their mood. The price for such an outfit is minimal, since making it at home saves money. The opportunity to buy a piece of fabric yourself allows girls to choose a beautiful pattern depending on their desires or make a monochromatic outfit.

One dress - a range of looks

You just need to distribute the ties a little differently, and the outfit will sparkle with new colors. The straps can be undone, tied in a knot, rolled up, or wrapped around the arm or neck - any option guarantees admiring glances. A little imagination and the title of queen of the party is guaranteed. Here are just a few accessories that will help you change your look in a matter of moments:

• large brooch or buckle;
• belt made of the same fabric, but in a contrasting color;
• bandeau top;
• matching chiffon skirt.

You can achieve a stunning effect not only by adding jewelry, but also by changing the position of the dress - above the chest or at the waist. It would also be a good idea to purchase the appropriate underwear - an invisible bra or a model with silicone straps, since most of the wrapping options leave the back open, which is very useful for evening dresses.
