This dress has a trapeze silhouette, so it is well suited for both slender and full. A loose silhouette will hide anything you don't want to show.

Description of improvements in the dress pattern

This A-line dress with a cut back has several improvements that have been made at the urgent request of our pattern buyers.

1. Added to the pattern set adjoining back and bottom backs (skirt) in this model flared. Of course, such style improvements significantly increase its consumption.
2. In addition, a sleeve with a “cufflink” slot has been added for lovers of original sleeves. Of course, this sleeve can be processed like a regular tapered sleeve with a tuck - the tuck is also marked on the template. And, as usual, there is a 3/4 length mark on the sleeve - see a photo.
3. Please note that structurally this is a narrow sleeve with a slight fit.
4. For sizes 40-46, the option of cutting the shelf without a tuck is provided.
5. On the patterns, five variants of the length of the product were marked with an interval of 2 cm.
6. The pattern can be easily shortened or lengthened.
7. Special mention deserves a template pattern for the original processing of the neck - "peak". Features of such a neck are described below (picture 2).

From what to sew this dress and expense

Almost any fairly thin and dense fabrics of the dress range are suitable for sewing this dress.
For example, dress wool, thin dense silk such as poplin, thin Italian linen, thin denim, chintz and dress satin.

Gabardine and thin suiting fabrics can be considered less suitable. A highly stretchy stretch is not too good for this style.

Fabric consumption with a width of 140 cm will be 370 - 400 cm, depending on the size.

Consumption given by maximum length. For more accurate calculate the expense lay out the finished dress patterns the length you need on any piece of fabric, taking into account allowances for seams.

How to cut this dress according to the finished pattern with your own hands

We begin work on the dress by choosing the option for processing individual parts and assemblies.

For the neck, except for the boring ordinary facing (figure 2a), you can choose a facing with the already traditional “drop” (figure 2b) or with "peak" (figure 2 c-d).

The standard facing width can vary from 3,5 to 4,5 cm.

Undercut facing according to the product allows you to change the shape of the neck as you wish.

In any case, we cut out the facings first from the doubler. If decorative elements of a peak or a drop are provided, then you will need a template. According to the template on the dubbing, we cut out the desired element.

Will the neckline be purely decorative or will a fastener be required? Which fastener is best? Let's dwell on these questions.

A clasp will be needed in any case. For a dress with an adjacent back, a zipper in the middle seam is desirable. For a dress with a loose back, only a clasp around the neck may be enough.

As for the sleevepicture 3), then you can choose the simplest processing - a tuck and a hem with an open cut. For lovers of original products, the bottom of the sleeve with a slot "under the cufflink" is offered. A loop and a button will also be appropriate.

The proposed sleeve is processed by turning, then, if you do not want the slot to protrude outside the sleeve, perform a vertical backtack in 3 stitches on it. The width of the facing should be such that the slots above the cutout are about 3 cm.

If you are processing a slot, then ignore the tuck.

When the processing nuances are thought out, you can start cutting.

Seam allowances (pictures 4 и 5) - 1 см.

An exception - sections of the sprout, neck, armhole and sleeve hem - no seam allowance is added on them.

The allowance at the bottom of the skirt depends on the processing method you have chosen.

Dress cutting is performed in three stages

1. First, the details of the shelf, upper back and sleeves are cut out (picture 4).
2. The fabric for the first stage (Fig. 4) is folded in half along the face inward, the edges are aligned, and the shared thread runs along the fold. In a word, the way we do with conventional cutting.
3. For the second stage, the rest of the fabric folds differently - fold across (picture 5). The edges also match. We lay the remaining part in such a way that the side and middle seams are "oblique", that is, they should NOT coincide with the equity or transverse direction.
4. When cutting, it is important to make notches at the level of the waist line of the back and front, as well as along the “gauge level” line in order to distribute the assembly or form warehouses according to these marks. Above the “assembly level”, the assembly density should be small and disappear.
5. The last stage is cutting the facings. For them we use fabric lunges. First, we glue the blanks that we cut out of dublerin without seam allowances. After that, we outline the allowances we need and cut them out.

Allowances for turning the sleeves and the neck of the dress

What allowances are needed for turning the neck?

We do not add allowances along the lines of the neck and along the departure. We only need allowances of 1 cm along the lines of grinding of the facing fragments. In this case, along the half-skid and along the middle seam of the back.

What allowances are needed for turning the sleeves?

Along the front and back seams - 1 cm, along the bottom 0,5 - 0,7 cm. We cut out the "Triangle" slots after turning.

How to sew this trapeze dress step by step

1. The sewing of this dress is carried out in the same sequence as the sewing of more simple a-line dress with detachable back
2. The assembly sequence differs only in that we first grind the side seams of the shelf and the lower part of the back.
3. Then, trim the skirt.
4. We connect the skirt with the upper part of the back.
5. After that - the middle seam.
6. We take lightning.
7. Shoulder seams, bust darts, sleeves and first fitting.
8. For the second fitting, we process all the facings and we roll in the sleeve.
9. We finish with the bottom.
