Fake - the configuration of the part is determined on the mannequin or on the customer.

It is often used for the manufacture of collars and draperies of complex configurations.

Until the XNUMXth century, it was the main one, and today we are witnessing its revival in haut couture wedding and evening dresses.

These are patterns made according to your measurements, which are used for tailoring dresses or blouses according to the figure.

In this case, there are no shaped elements.

In other words, to sew a "little black dress" it is enough to choose a base that suits your figure.

"Where to start learning to design if the first attempts were unsuccessful?

I am a beginner tailor, I am also just learning to sew.

There is no way to get to the courses, you have to gnaw at the granite of science on your own. The only source of knowledge is books...

Letters with similar questions very often come to me, therefore, I give an answer immediately to all novice tailors.

The very first step in learning the cutting technique is learning the technique. taking measurements.

To determine the size, divide your bust measurement in half (read the article "Removal of measures" and watch the video at the end of this article).

In other words, your size is equal to your Cg.

See the table of standard ladies', men's or children's measurements corresponding to specific sizes (Women's sizes 42 - 50, Women's sizes 52 - 60, Women's sizes 62 - 72, Men's sizes).

I do not want to leave behind the scenes of discussions of my books the comments of readers of the following content:

“nothing is clear”, “very difficult”, “everything is so confusing”, “a lot of unfamiliar words, you need to write in human language” ...

In the course of the research conducted by the author, it turned out that many respected readers CANNOT READ SPECIAL LITERATURE.

This question is often asked by readers. my books in which there are patterns in full size.

The drawing can be copied both on paper and on plastic film.

There are several easy ways:

1. Drawstring skirts with a narrow elastic band (the elastic band is pulled through with a pin).
2. Drawstring skirt with a wide (2 - 5 cm) elastic band.
3. A skirt with a wide elastic band instead of a belt.
4. Elasticated skirt 1 cm wide, stitched in a zigzag pattern.
5. There are more complex methods when there are only fragments of the belt (side or back) on the elastic band, but they will be discussed in the “Combined Belt” material.

Usually they ask “how to sew THIS dress?” and attach a photo.

In fact, all dresses are sewn in the same sequence:

1. A shelf is made (darts, seams, reliefs, pockets, as well as other complicating elements and small details are processed).

For all patterns in the order you can download TWO files for each pattern:

1. A multi-format PDF file of a pattern that can be printed in a printer or plotter on sheets of paper of the format A0, A1, A2, A3 or A4, with independent splitting into sheets and correct printing only in free adobe reader.

2. A4 PDF file pattern, which is already divided into A4 sheets and can be printed on any device in any program, including in browsers and mobile phones, but only on A4 sheets.

The print order for these two file options is slightly different.

Please read carefully how to print correctly, both pattern files!
