What is included in the set of patterns and how to calculate the consumption of fabric for sewing a dress

The set of patterns for an elegant trapeze-boat dress includes (picture 1):

1. back patterns;
2. shelves;
3. two sleeves:
   1. For sizes 40-52, this is a narrow sleeve and a sleeve of a relatively medium volume.
   2. For sizes 52-64, this is a sleeve of a conditionally medium volume and a sleeve for full arms.

The consumption of fabric for a sleeveless dress is, depending on the size and length of the dress, from 100 cm to 190 cm.

The consumption of fabric for a dress with a sleeve, depending on the size and length, will be from 150 to 260 cm.

Based on the fact that the consumption directly depends on the length of the product and its size, it is recommended to determine the length of the dress and the length of the sleeve before buying fabric. Then, comparing the length of the patterns with the length of your favorite dress, perform a preliminary layout of the patterns on any piece of fabric. This method will allow you to calculate the flow as accurately as possible.

Most of the stable fabrics of the dress range are suitable for sewing. For example, dress wool, linen, jacquard, thick silk, dress jeans.

How to cut and sew such a dress with your own hands

For beginners in sewing clothes at home, an elegant A-line boat dress pattern will greatly facilitate the task of learning.

This style is not recommended as a first product for those who want to learn how to sew and cut from scratch on their own, as the process will require knowledge of elementary concepts and basic skills.

And yet, this is a very simple product.

The cut and sewing of this dress is similar to the cut and sewing of dresses of similar styles.

For example, the
A-line boat dresses

Or

Features of cutting and sewing this style of a-line dress

As practice shows, each trapeze dress has its own characteristics of fit on different figures. In this style, you can avoid excessive bagging and adjust the degree of fit during the fitting due to the darts and the middle seam of the back.

Pay attention to the fact that on the patterns there is a tuck for the back, two tucks for the shelf in the gradation of sizes 40-52 and one tuck for the shelf in the gradation 52-62.

The design of the side seams is also different from the design of other "trapeze" styles.

In addition, large sizes are complemented by a sleeve for full hands.

If when buying ready-made products you often come across tight sleeves, then this sleeve will suit you perfectly due to a flatter hem. And the excess fit will go into the tuck along the sleeve.
