The simplest patterns of boho dresses
Over the past 7 years, boho style has become increasingly popular. The reason for this is the simplicity of designs and patterns, which allows people without sewing skills to sew a dress.
Today you will not surprise anyone with a story about how girls first take orders, and then buy their first sewing machine and the reason for this is the seeming simplicity of style and the “geometry” of forms. "What's there to sew?!" Rectangles and squares, triangles and trapezoids…
Due to the simplicity and conciseness, the boho style is adored by the owners of magnificent forms. Simple patterns of boho dresses for obese women make it possible to sew dresses with your own hands at home, updating your wardrobe between cakes and cookies.
Stretch fashion, which is receding into the background, now allows us not to pay attention to extra pounds. What for? Oversized dresses make you feel free.
But is boho as simple as people think? Is boho always a simple dress that you can sew with your own hands without knowing how to sew?
Boho style clothes - clothes for the overweight?
Being engaged in the development of patterns, I observe a paradoxical phenomenon: fashionable patterns for overweight women are in little demand, while there is a clear shortage of fashionable clothes for overweight people. Public opinion limits overweight and large women in choosing extravagant models, and fashion designers in creativity. Maybe that's why the variety of boho is so attractive to puffies?
Fashion researchers cannot decide how and where the boho style was born. How many directions the boho style has is also not easy to calculate.
Let's try to count the "roots" from which the modern shoots of boho sprouted: French Bohemia, gypsies, artists and artists, hippies, folk and "rural" styles, vintage, tramps and homeless people, Japanese subculture ...
Were there fat people among the creators and first fans of boho? of course! But still, boho is a style for everyone. For everyone who is tired of amateurs in light industry or the boredom of everyday life. For everyone who wants freedom of expression and freedom from conventions, as well as for those who just need free clothes and simple patterns for sewing with their own hands.
Suitable for boho dresses non-stop sleeve that is sewn in without basting - This is a simple sewing that does not require skills.
And yet, do not forget about the features of a full female figure. Large size dress patterns require bust darts.
As an example, see a pattern of a boho dress with a tuck, which you can sew quickly with your own hands:
Please note that the lower part of the dress is cut without a pattern and is a strip of fabric.
And here are four patterns of different plus size boho dresses that are recommended for women with a full figure:
But slim people do not have to hide their figures in clothes of large volumes.
You can experiment with ethnic elements - see the example dress patterns in the style of ethno-boho-chic:
Or with elements borrowed from hippie culture - see pattern of a boho dress with a one-piece sleeve:
Boho is not a "bag"!
Looking at elegant embroidered dresses and puffy skirts that rival the sophisticated elegance of the new look, even the biggest supporter of casual baggy and ripped jeans can feel the desire for boho-chic.

This The pattern is suitable for both full and slim.
A dress made of linen and complemented with large rough stone embellishments, a large bag and matching shoes will add enough boho touches to the look.
Are there patterns in boho style?
In general, patterns are not characterized by style, since patterns are just lines on paper. But the design of the style can set the style.
For example, the well-known model of the “lady-peasant woman” dress sets the stylistic direction already with its design - according to this pattern, we can sew an ethnic linen dress or a boho dress made of thin gauze with our own hands. For a boho chic dress, we can use printed chiffon.
And I sewed according to this pattern, a dress in the style of a new bow:
As you can see, despite the design, for this style, execution and details still became decisive.

Consider simple boho pants pattern - this is one of those styles whose belonging to the boho style cannot be changed.
Of course, with these trousers we can “move” along various trends in boho style. For example, “visit” in a gypsy hippie with an alcoholic T-shirt and a trilby hat, and then “switch” to a boho classic with a fur vest and a cartwheel hat.
With dresses, it is also possible to “move” through styles, but the amplitude will be wider - from elegant to hippie.
Summing up, we can say that the style of boho is determined not so much by the design of the pattern, but by the choice of fabric, finishes, but more by accessories and combination with wardrobe items characteristic of the boho style.
