Types of long dresses

Before you choose a pattern and buy a fabric, it is worthwhile to think about which option is more suitable and enjoyable. A long straight dress visually slim, but too tight fitting model does not fit, if you have some curvy shapes. In this case, it is better to choose those styles that go from the chest or have a free cut and do not fit the figure.

Types of long dresses are as follows:

• A-silhouette;
• Ball dress;
• Evening;
• Imperial style;
• Caftan;
• case;
• With an overstated waist;
• Sarafan;
• Country dress;
• Tramp.

For example, dresses of the first kind can disperse downwards in the shape of the letter A, both from a tightly seated waist, and from above. The ballroom is usually done with an open back and shoulders, as well as a massive bottom. Evening option is designed for special occasions, so it is made from expensive fabrics using finishes. As a rule, it has a length in the floor, a deep neckline and is characterized by a lack of sleeves. The dress of imperial style is sewn with an overstated waist and a V-neck. The kaftan has a simple shape, so it is easy to sew. The case clearly sits on the figure, emphasizing its shape. Sarafan is a summer dress with straps. The rural option is the embodiment of simplicity. The shape of the tramp is shaped like a musical instrument - a pipe, as it sharply diverges downwards.

Where to begin

To determine the style that you will sew, analyze your skills, and also go to the fitting in the store. For this money does not take. So you can understand that the most advantageous is sitting on your figure. Remember, color can also greatly affect the impression that you make in this outfit.

When choosing a tissue, you should attach a flap to yourself and look in the mirror. If you like color or a picture on a roll, this does not mean that you will look good in this variant.

What will be required

It is worth noting that at the preparation stage it is better to carry out the steps in parallel. After all, you will need not only a model (image), but also a pattern of a long dress. Already on the basis of it (the size of the dress, the number of parts, the method of cutting the elements), you need to choose the fabric, given its width, the ability to stretch out on the figure, the visual impression of color and pattern.

So, to sew a dress yourself, you will need the following:

• Pattern of a long dress;
• English pins (with a head);
• Chalk or remnant with a sharp edge;
• scissors;
• Thread with a needle;
• Sewing machine (better with the function of processing the edges of the zigzag stitch);
• iron;
• Decor elements (optional).

Nothing special, in fact, it is not necessary. If you decide to sew the dress yourself, you probably already have all of the above.

How to sew a dress yourself: patterns

The most important is to find ready-made templates or build all the details of the pattern of the product yourself. The figure below shows the construction scheme, using which, you can make a pattern for the model with a sleeve in its size.

The disadvantage of this method is the need to take measurements, that is, you can not simply take and print a blank for your, for example, the 44th size. However, any template for specific proportions is performed on average. If you have too narrow hips or a small chest, you may need to adjust the finished pattern. In this case, it makes sense to build it yourself.

So, in the figure above, the lines indicated by the numbers correspond to the following:

1. The neck (neck).
2. Chest.
3. Waist.
4. Hips.
5. Bottom edge.

For any symmetrical product, the pattern is only for half the gear and the backrest. The complete part is obtained by folding the fabric on which the template is fixed. Accordingly, and the dimensions of the vertical (axis of symmetry), you have to postpone the calculated, that is, determined the size of the hips and marked along the half-way line.

As a basis, you can take the pattern shown in the following image. All the dimensions required for the construction are indicated. Correlate them with your own and, if necessary, correct. Do not forget to round off the corners after finishing the drawing work.

Thus, a pattern of a straight dress, A-shaped, with an overstated waist and another can be made.

If you do not like making designs on paper, but still want to sew a dress yourself, you can take patterns ready. If this is a normal picture from the screen, it needs to be scaled to its size. Do it by your own measure. For example, the breast size on the pattern with yours is the same, but the hips are getting bigger. Print out this way - it's always easier to cut unnecessary ones than to finish, adjust, add.

Note that the direction of the share thread indicates the details on the parts. This is how you need to lay out the patterns on the fabric. If there are no signs on the template, remember, the details of the transfer, back, sleeves are laid out on the share thread. This should be taken into account when buying fabric, be sure to see how wide it is, and take the length according to the height of the dress with a margin for allowances and additional details.
