Style Description

This is a summer sundress of a free or very free silhouette, depending on the size you choose.

It is worn over a long or short T-shirt, top, or bustier.

Despite the apparent simplicity of the style, novice tailors, as a rule, have difficulties with the processing of folds.

In front and behind - oncoming warehouses, due to the middle warehouses, the extension of the shelf and back is made.

In this model, the folds are recommended to grind down to the waist mark, below - they are soft.

In the side storage of the shelf, it is recommended to process the pocket.

The length of straps without ties can be adjusted during fitting.

Fabric consumption and what to sew a sundress from

Fabric consumption for this summer sundress in boho style with folds is from 360 to 400 cm, depending on the size. This is taking into account the width of 140 - 150 cm.

It is better to sew such a sundress from light linen or cotton fabrics.

The ideal option would be both thin linen and staple, chintz or poplin.

It is very important that the fabric is thin and light enough.

How to cut a boho summer sundress according to a downloaded pattern

In order not to waste excess fabric, before cutting, decide whether the straps of the sundress will be tied or they will be solid.

Pay attention to the fact that the fold of the fabric is located across the cut.

When cutting, it is important to accurately complete all the markings - apply fold and waist lines to the details.

The pocket burlap can be cut from a "pocket" or any other fabric, if necessary. Since the pocket will be located inside the warehouse, even the edge of the burlap will not be visible and the details of the valance will not be required.

Seam allowances and notches, cut features

Seam allowances 1 cm, and for loose and loose fabrics - 1,2 cm.

On the bottom for a hem with an open cut (overcast-fold) - 3 cm, for a hem with a closed cut (double hem) - 4 - 5 cm.

Notches are made along the borders of the folds and at the waist level.

If the straps are tied, then the “tail” of the tie should also be limited to a notch.

General recommendations

(picture 2)

First, the details of the back and shelves are cut out, as well as the straps for the back and the burlap of the pockets.

The “lower” parts can be cut out after trying on the product.

The recommended processing of open cuts for linen is edging with an oblique trim, and for chintz and staple - a double seam and a double hem.

Warehouses are first swept completely, and after trying on they are ground to the waist.

A very important point is the alignment of the bottom. The inevitable sagging of the "oblique" side seams can be eliminated on the second fitting, when the side seams have already been processed and ironed.
