In addition, the likelihood to meet someone in the same self-sewn attire is reduced to zero, since the dress will be executed in a single copy. About how the pattern of a dress-shirt is constructed and what material to choose for a product, this article will be discussed.

Selection of fabric and accessories

With today's variety of materials, there is room for fantasy. Baptiste, cotton, jeans, chintz, linen, staple, viscose are ideal variants of natural linens for hot days. A variety of colors, prints and textures will create an original, strict, long dress-shirt, a girlish playful image with an abundance of frills and lace or a sporting variation.

As for the accessories, there is also a huge selection of buttons, sewing buttons, various decorative stripes, cords, strings for stitching and whole appliqués of rhinestones and beads.

Model Selection

In order not to be lost in a huge variety of materials, it is necessary to decide in advance with the model. If this is a sporting option, then jeans, cottons, flax and a staple with a quiet print or without it at all - this is what you need. Jeans dress-shirt can be versatile. Even if it is decorated with beads and rhinestones, it will perfectly combine with moccasins, sneakers or sandals with high heels.

Ideally draped and flowing viscose and staple are perfect for sewing a long outfit. Open shoulders and decorative design of the backrest with crossed strips or sewn openwork insert will add chic.

No less interesting will look simple batistovoe or denim dress-shirt on the girdle without additional decorative elements and even without thawed darts.

Building a Pattern

To make a template, you will need a building film or paper, ruler, centimeter tape, scissors, marker or pen. The construction of the dress pattern begins with the removal of the measurements from the figure. You will need the basic girths: chest, waist, hips. You will also need to measure the width of the back, chest height, back height and pass to the waist and width of the shoulder.

The construction of the dress pattern can be divided into several stages:

1. Create a basic drawing grid.
2. Application of the main transmission lines and backrests.
3. Construction of a sleeve on the armhole.

Creating a Basic Grid

On paper or building film, a vertical line is drawn, equal to the length of the product from the shoulder to the bottom of the hem. Perpendicular to her mark the shoulder line, the chest (according to the measurement of the height of the chest), the waist (according to the measurement of the height of the back and pass to the waist), the hips (below the waist line by 20 cm) and the bottom of the product.

Perpendiculars should be equal to the girth of the chest. At the completion of the horizontal lines, a second vertical line is laid. Then go to the line of the breast and lay 1/2 measure "back width", from the point raise the perpendicular to the shoulder line. After determine the width of the armhole. For this, the half-mantle of the chest is divided into four and added 2 cm. The resultant value is postponed after the previously noted point (1/2 the width of the back). The perpendicular is also lifted from the received mark. Thus, on the grid, three zones emerged: the back, armhole and shelf.

Applying the basic transmission lines and backrests

Once the basic grid for the template is defined, fine details can be refined in the drawing. On the line of the shoulders from the left and right angles retreat 7-8 cm and denote the neck. For the backrest (at the left vertical) it is deepened by 3 cm, and for the shelf (at the right vertical) by 7-8 cm. The pattern of the dress-shirt can be constructed without darts on the back and chest, so you can immediately begin to design the shoulder seam and Armholes. To do this, from the point of the neckline, draw a line equal to the "shoulder width" measurement. It is underestimated from the original mark by about 1.5 cm. Next, on the chest line in the armhole area, the middle is found, and on the vertical raised from the "1/2 width of the back" mark, mark 1/3 of the armhole height and through these points draw a smooth line Armhole on the back.

The line of the shoulder from the side of the chest should be 2 cm lower, so before setting it, determine the boundary where it should fall. Also, at the level of 1/3 of the vertical, a point is put along which the armhole for the transfer is drawn to the middle of the armhole zone on the chest line.

Then go to the waist line. First, the perpendicular from the middle point of the armhole zone is lowered to it, afterward from the perpendicular obtained on the waist line, they retreat 2-3 cm and draw a lateral cut. As a rule, the pattern of the dress-shirt is built without the thawed darts, but only with small smooth curves along the side cut.

The perpendicular from the middle of the armhole zone is extended to the hip line. After the horizontal, from the left and right verticals, place a 1/2 "measurement of the" hip circumference "+ 1 cm on the free fit. Then modify the lateral section. Usually the details of the transmission and the backrest in the drawing are found on each other, so when cutting a template from one side, it will be necessary to glue the cut off part at the hip level.

Construction of a sleeve on the armhole

Pattern dress-shirt can be with and without a sleeve. It is constructed quite simply, if you know a few basic rules. Using the lower border of the armhole, draw a circle, which is raised 1.5 cm at the top. Next, along the chest line, the center of the arm is marked with a hand girth + 4 cm and the sleeves are inserted into the extremities of the delayed segment. The length of the sleeve can be any.

The constructed pattern can be used for sewing any dress. To make it look like a shirt, you should make it with the fasteners on the buttons along the middle line of the gear. The main thing is not to forget to give an allowance for the design of loops and sewing on buttons.
