Nothing so much gives the woman confidence, as her appearance, and nothing so beautiful as her appearance, as a tastefully selected clothing. Which season does not lose its position skirt-maxi.

As you know, the clothes must be balanced. Wearing a mini, you should cover your chest, if, of course, you did not set a goal to look vulgar. And here it is just that the skirt-maxi provides a wide field for your fantasies in the décolletage. It can be deep, especially when it comes to an evening gown. Skirt-maxi can very successfully hide the existing shortcomings of the ankles and thighs.

There is an opinion that it should not be worn by girls with small stature, but this is not so. They look beautiful in such a skirt, if they do not wear bulky sweaters and jackets. A high heel will also be appropriate.

For ladies in the body, the maxi skirt is a real find that can soften any curvy shapes. The only thing that you do not have to allow yourself, having a large size of clothes, is to wear skirts on an elastic band or simply tucked into a belt. Avoid also two-tiered and three-tiered skirts. The abundance of fabrics of various textures and colors will create a unique image for the summer and not only. As for color, the fashion is juicy shades of greenery, a bright garden, the sun.

To build a pattern of a long skirt is extremely simple. For girls who are not familiar with this science, the recommendations will be as follows. It is necessary to take a rectangle of fabric equal to the length of the skirt from the waist to the place where it should end (plus 5 cm for the allowances), and for the width - one and a half to two values of the thigh size. Next, you need to sew a line for elastic tape, the length of which is equal to the waist, stitch and process all the seams, insert the braid, iron. That's the maxi skirt ready!

The pattern of a more complex product will be based on the pattern of a straight skirt. For those who are at least a little familiar with sewing, there is nothing complicated. We take the base and extend the side seams to the required length. In this version, you will have to make deep incisions from one or two sides for walking.

If you need to get a skirt trapezoid, on the pattern of a straight skirt you should cut the paper from the bottom of the skirt to the beginning of darts at the waist along straight lines. Dip on the pattern to lay, thereby flashing the bottom of the skirt, and, applying to the fabric, measure the necessary length. For sewing such a skirt you will need to sew a belt and a zipper, and also process all the seams.

You can sew and skirt-the sun. For this, we construct two concentric circles: one with a length equal to the waist size (the diameter is calculated by the formula known from the geometry course).

The second circle is drawn, having deviated from the first by a distance equal to the length of the skirt. You will need to sew a belt or elastic, and if necessary, and lightning, process the seams.

If desired, you can make a frill in one or two tiers. It is necessary to subtract its height from the total length of the skirt, and take the width 1: 2, that is, the length of the line over which the frill is sewn should be half that of the frill itself. If the skirt is made of transparent fabric, then it is mandatory to make a lining. For the summer it is better to use for her thin natural fabric.

A long corduroy skirt is perfect for autumn or winter. You can sew it in a flared, or in a narrow version, without forgetting the cuts.
