Cutting and sewing a line dress with a surprise

Cutting is simple, but requires an understanding of some of the nuances of the style.

For example, the neck can be processed by turning (picture 2) or edged. The neckline is large enough to sew this dress without fastening. To make sure, measure the length of the sprout-neck and multiply the amount by two. Make a "ring" from a centimeter tape and try to put it on.

So, if the length of the cutout suits you, then you can cut the facings immediately according to the same patterns as the shelf and back (picture 2). We cut out blanks of facings from dublerin or adhesive interlining without seam allowances. Allowances will be added after gluing the blanks to the fabric, directly when they are incutting out.

Now about the seam allowances for the details of the back, front and sleeves (figures 3, 4 и 5).

To the shoulder and side sections, as well as to the “vertical” sections of the sleeve, we add 1 or 1,5 cm each. For the hem of the bottom - 2,5 - 3 cm. leave without allowances. Why? If we add, then we will make the neck-armhole shorter and the eyelet will be distorted. Therefore, no allowances. Above the tucks - allowances - "houses".

The fold is essentially also an allowance, and if it is soft, that is, it is not ironed, then everything is simple - the back is laid parallel to the edges at a distance of warehouses, that is, about 20 cm from the edges. But, if the warehouse is narrowed, then the ironing lines should be marked obliquely so that the warehouse gives an extension. This marking is present on the pattern.

The pleat allowance can be cut to the waist (see the photo и picture 3). More precisely, it is better to cut off 4 - 5 cm above the waist line. And in this case, do not forget to leave an allowance along the midline of the back of about 2 cm to process the cut or 1 - 1,5 cm to stitch, overcast and iron. And in the corner of the allowances, make a notch to the intersection of the waist and the middle line of the back. You will need a notch for processing.

Now that all the nuances of cutting are clear, let's talk about the layout for different sizes (figures 4 и 5). In any case, it will be a “jack” and for small sizes everything is simple - the lunge area is small (picture 4 ).

Here are the big sizespicture 5), in addition to requiring a wider sleeve (see the pattern in the set of large sizes), will leave large lunges.

To save a little, you need to cut in several stages, and this requires experience. Therefore, consider the simplest option associated with cutting the sleeve into two parts.

The set of patterns of large sizes includes a sleeve with a tuck along the collar. We use it in modeling: draw a slightly concave line from the tuck down and cut the sleeve into two halves.

If you cut out a sleeve from two halves, the area of ​​\uXNUMXb\uXNUMXblunges will be greatly reduced.

And the last version of the style: cutting from companion fabrics should begin by cutting off the fold from the back.

A strip of fabric in the warehouse should be without a seam - markup according to the pattern. And the rest of the details are cut out in the same way as in a regular trapeze dress.

Now that how to sew an a-line dress with a surprise.

We start, as usual, from the back, warehouses and the middle seam.

If the fold is cut from a companion fabric, then we sew it to the middle seam of the back, we sew the seams and overcast.

Then, we grind a fragment of the middle seam from above, and sweep the remaining segment of the middle seam, lay out the warehouse according to the markup - you need to do this by laying the back inside out - we sweep the warehouse and iron it. We fix the warehouse from above - near the sprout or the end of the stitched fragment of the seam so that it does not sag.

After that, we grind and iron the tucks on the shelf and sleeve; we grind, weave and iron or iron the shoulder, side and sleeve seams.

We try on and, if necessary, cut the armhole and neck.
