Skirt cut: step by step instruction

Every woman, regardless of age and ability, wants to look stylish and attractive. The main "weapon" for achieving this goal is the wardrobe, or rather its originality. And you can create it yourself. With the help of the step-by-step instructions for creating a pattern below, you want to dispel fears of doubting women and instill confidence that everything will work out for them. Take, for example, the skirt of a skirt, which is the main and inalienable element of the wardrobe of a real woman.

Where to begin?

First you need to decide on the shape: the garment element can be a classic straight, cheerful sun-flare or look like an elegant pencil skirt. Next, you need to cut the skirts. Let's consider some variants.

We build a pattern of the basic basis of a straight skirt

This stage is necessary for tailoring almost any models, except for such: sun-flared, half-sunny, skirt-elastic.

Experienced dressmakers never draw on a separate pattern for each model. The basic design is always a sketch of the design of a straight skirt. It is enough for one pattern, exactly fitted to your figure. This drawing will serve you constantly, and the necessary adjustments can be made directly on the fabric.

Removal of measurements and material consumption

To draw the desired skirt of the skirt, you will need to measure the waist and hip circumferences (the measurements are taken in half size) and the length of the product. The received numbers (with an addition of one centimeter per free fit) are written down on paper. The exact length of the product is the distance from the waist to the floor, minus 40 cm. If a pencil skirt with an overstated waist is provided , the fabric consumption is calculated as follows: the length is 10-15 cm.

Preparatory stage

The skirt cut begins with the drawing of the rectangle, where the values of one side are the girth of the hips, and the second - the length of the product.

Since the pattern will be created for the two halves of the skirt (front and back), measure the OB (hip girth) into two. Further from the waistline measure 20-23 cm and draw a continuous horizontal line. This will be the line of the hips. We will continue the construction of the pattern of the item in the wardrobe.

Drawing

Denote the "T" point at the top of the line, which divides the skirt into two halves. The intervals obtained from this mark should be divided in half and marked with dots. Of these, we lower the verticals of 12 and 15 cm from the front, and also from the rear.

For the skewed waistline drawing of two parts of the skirt, measure one centimeter on the top left and 1.5 cm on the right edge for both parts of the product. We combine these marks with the point T with slightly convex lines relative to the top of the cut.

Draw a diagram of a dart with a depth of 3 and 2 cm.

To calculate the position of point T1 and point T2, you need to apply the formula:

(Cb + 1) - (St-1) - 5/2.

The result should be measured from the side seam and denote points T1 and T2 (photo 1).

So, the cut of the skirt is not so complicated. It remains only, using a special pattern, to drop the lines down from the points T1 and T2. To secure in this place you can put a couple of centimeters, and already directly on the fitting to adjust the line on the figure.

Features of cut skirts sun

This model is suitable for young ladies with a thin waist and owners of large hips because of their ability to hide their completeness.

The skirt of the sun-flared skirt, like any other, begins with the removal of measurements, namely: FROM (waist volume) and DI (length of the product).

The operation is performed without a pattern directly on the fabric with the following calculation:

Radius = 1/6 of the waist circumference - 1 cm.

The resultant value must be laid off by an arc from the corner (you can use a compass or centimeter tape for this). This will be the waist line. From it you need to count the length of the product and add allowances for the seams.

The skirt of the sun-flared skirt (photo 2) - allows you to imagine the layout on the fabric more clearly.

There are two layout options:

1. With this method, the fabric is laid out without folding and in mirror reflection we perform cutting. This option is not recommended when using shiny, satin or fleecy fabric due to the fact that the overflow of material or the direction of the pile will look different.
2. Here, the fabric has a fold, and the product will be seamless. Because of the limited width, it is not possible to sew a too long skirt.
3. This option involves folding the fabric four times to get a full sun of four quarters.

Pencil skirt

A very popular model for women. It can be executed in different lengths (up to the knees or calves), in a straight or bottom-down version. A cut of a pencil skirt with pockets or deep folds implies an increase in material consumption. Variations with length and degree of narrowness will help reveal the dignity and hide the shortcomings of the figure. Therefore, this type is often chosen as model beauties, and women with lush forms, regardless of age.

A cut of a pencil skirt, narrowed downwards

The construction of a pattern is routinely accompanied by the removal of measurements and the construction of a grid of the base circuit. Then follow these steps:

1. Transfer side lines into the skirt, choosing the distance arbitrarily (for example, by two centimeters).
2. To the element of the wardrobe does not hamper the movements, on the back half it is necessary to provide a spline - 15-20 cm (depending on the length and degree of narrowing of the skirt). The width of the slots will be about four centimeters.
3. The upper section of the skirt can be made in the following ways:

• Grinding from the inside;
• A one-piece belt with a skirt;
• Factory knitted girth.

Take a piece of contrast material for the cut. The length of the obtachka is calculated by the addition of sections of the front and back parts. Thus, a full-fledged pattern of a narrowed pencil skirt is ready. Before you start cutting the fabric, you need to leave the allowances for 1 cm for the seams for the cuts of grinding and 4 cm for the groove of the bottom.

Conclusion

If you study the above instructions, it becomes clear that not so "higher mathematics" - the art of cutting, when you really want to be stylish and original. And if you give vent to your imagination and take care of the decoration of the product (it may be painting the fabric, embroidery or an interesting applique) - you can be firmly sure that nowhere else in the world is there such a second copy. And it's worth the effort, is not it?
