We model a school dress for a girl with a frill, frill or cape

On the example of a simple dress (picture 1) we will analyze the main rules of modeling.

For the basic basis for modeling, I took a school dress for a girl.

1. Modeling rules

Rule one:
Any part of the pattern can be cut into any number of parts and, after cutting out on the fabric, joined again into one whole.

It is important not to distort the contour of the initial patterns (the so-called bases) and not to change their size.

Rule two:
Any tuck, relief or modeling line can be continued on another part.

The continuation of the tuck or relief of the shelf on the back is one of the most common modeling and design techniques.

Note:
1. If we are talking about modeling, we cut the base pattern.
2. If we are talking about designing, we lay the position of the tuck or relief directly when constructing the base pattern.

2. Modeling to finish the dress with a frill

So, having familiarized ourselves with the two main rules of modeling and having downloaded the free pattern of this dress, we will make a template for modeling.

To do this, copy the desired size onto the plastic film using a permanent marker.

Lay the finished patterns on the table, connecting the shoulder sections of the shelf and back, as shown in figure 2a .

Then, draw a line on the back pattern that continues the first line of the chest tuck (the first line is closer to the neckline).

Cut the back piece along this line (figure 2b).

This is where the modeling can be completed if you are going to trim the dress with a frill made of lace or a strip of fabric.

3. And you can continue if you need a cape

To make a cape pattern, lay the patterns of the front and back (part of the back is already cut off), connecting the end of the modeling line of the back to the second line of the chest tuck of the shelf (picture 3).

Cover the patterns laid out in this way with plastic wrap and circle the line for sewing in the cape, then draw its middle line along the back and, finally, fly away.

Shuttlecock pattern (picture 4) is an arbitrary rounded curve.

You should be guided only by the length of the stitching cut and in width.

It is desirable that the part has a fold along the center line, which will be combined with the center line of the back when assembling the product.

Please note that the length of the stitching cuts of the shuttlecock and the product may be the same or the cut of the shuttlecock may be 1,5 - 2 times longer.

Summarize:

We figured out that a frill is a “ribbon” or a rectangle of fabric, lace, braid.
The cape is modeled on the details of the front and back, and the shuttlecock is built arbitrarily.
