Interesting simple dress patterns for beginners
If your wardrobe is missing a certain outfit, you can sew it yourself. To create a pattern, you will need a measuring tape to take measurements. The type of dress determines what the pattern will be and what body measurements need to be taken.
Straight long
Even an inexperienced dressmaker can handle such a simple, floor-length summer model.
To create a pattern, you need the main measurement - hip circumference.
If the chest circumference is wider than the hip circumference, then for the pattern we take into account the chest circumference.
Draw a rectangle, its width is equal to hip circumference x 1.4 (increase for folds). If you want a fuller ruffle, multiply the hip circumference by 1.6. The length of the robe will be 65 cm, from the waist about 40. The length is equal to the height of the rectangular pattern. The length of the gathers is equal to the width, and the height will be 12 cm. Seam allowances are not taken into account.
We sweep a piece of fabric across its entire width vertically. Now you need to stitch, process the cuts, straighten the seam allowance in different directions, and go over it with an iron.
We turn the hem, sweep and stitch. The bottom edge of the dress frill should be folded and stitched.
Now we place the frill on the top of the panel, sweep it along the edge, then sew it as a single piece.
We turn in the seam allowances along the top edge of the dress and the frill, baste, then sew. You need to leave a little space for threading the elastic. Insert an elastic band 2 cm wide and adjust its length. After trying on, connect the ends of the elastic with a stitch.
The open area of the drawstring must be sewn up.
Straight short
For a straight dress with a loose silhouette, it is enough to know the circumference of the hips or chest.
We take into account the parameter that is wider. Determine the length of the product. It is measured along the back, from the seventh cervical vertebra to the hem.
Before cutting, the material is processed through a damp iron. The fabric is folded right side inward, edge to edge. Lay out on a flat surface, with the fold facing away from you.
We lay out the parts, make markings with chalk, and at the same time mark the seam allowances along which we will cut the blanks.
Baste the shoulder and side stitches.
Before the sewing process, the pockets are turned and ironed.
We prepare the sleeve head for assembly. We process the darts on the back, and go through the stitches with an iron in the same way. Now we grind the shoulders, sides, iron, and process the cuts. We sew in sleeves, pockets, and finish the hem of the dress.
For this type of short robe, it is better to choose solid colors, such as white, black or red. Pockets can complement the look.
Summer sundress
A fitted summer sundress will become an indispensable outfit in your wardrobe (see photo).
This model can be sewn for a little girl. For summer, chintz canvas is ideal. We take measurements for the child and take into account the length.
The dress will have a seam down the back where there is a hidden zipper. For the pattern you need to know the circumference of the chest, waist and hips. Place the back and shelf on the fabric and outline with chalk.
The shelf should be 2 cm larger than the back, the same applies to the bottom of the shelf. A straight line is drawn from the waist line to the bottom. Our coordinate point is ¼ hip volume + 2 cm.
Now you can cut out the details and baste.
We must not forget about allowances and hem folds. The workpiece must be tried on to determine the neckline; we also note the shoulder width and armhole cutout.
We grind the darts and iron them down. We mark all the cuts. Now we sew the side stitches and the line along the back to the beginning of the zipper.
Iron the sides and back. We fasten the shoulder seams with pins. Draw a line for the neckline and armholes, cut them out, taking into account 1 cm allowances.
Sew the facing of the back and front. We process the bottom cut with an overlocker. Now we need to process the zipper on the back. We decorate the cuts of the neckline and armholes with facings, from the inside there should be a piping. Align the bottom and sew with hidden stitches. Ready.
