Dress with straps on your shoulder straps

Summer is a wonderful time. The best time for feminine outfits is from thin, flying fabrics with bright prints, delicate lace and lush skirts. Dress on straps is one of the most favorite dresses of girls. He can be strict, playful, and maybe even go for an evening outfit - it all depends on the fabric and cut.

Sew a sarafan on shoulder straps you can yourself, and at the same time you will save a decent amount of money, because such things in stores are worth a lot. This garment is very simple in execution. That's why it's the best way for beginners to practice their sewing skills.

Creating a sketch

First of all, before you start choosing the fabric and directly working, you need to come up with an image of the product. Dress on straps can be completely different, so draw a few sketches and choose the one that most will suit your taste.

Material selection

Of course, you need to choose a fabric, based on the designed form. If this is an everyday sarafan on straps, it is better to give preference to natural canvases, for example, such as cambric, staple, flax and thin cotton. For a more elegant version, crepe-chiffon, micromoslo, all kinds of silk fabrics are perfect. You can also use regular cotton knitwear for direct sarafan models .

Today the choice of fabrics in the shops of sewing accessories is so great that the assortment is able to satisfy the wishes of even the most capricious women of fashion.

Preparatory work

What does the sewing pattern look like for a product like a sarafan on the straps? Pattern-base is a fitted silhouette of the product without top with tucks on the front and back panels. It is not difficult to build it.

First of all, you need to take measurements from the figure: chest girth, waist, hips, chest height, back width, length from shoulder to waist (in front, through center of chest and behind), groove solution. Then all the values should be transferred to the template base. For this purpose, polyethylene film, which is used in construction, is the best. This pattern is not afraid of intensive use, and therefore, can be used repeatedly.

Building a Pattern

The shape of the shelves is built inside the rectangle, its height is the length of the product, and the width is equal to the half-engagement of the measurement of the volume of the chest + a few centimeters to free fit (usually taken from 0.5 to 6 cm). Work with the drawing can be divided into several simple steps:

1. The construction of the top part of the pattern of the base is the most difficult part, but in view of the fact that you need a template for a sarafan on the straps, many moments can simply be omitted.
2. The construction of the middle part - from the line of the chest and up to the waist line.
3. The construction of the lower part - from the waist line and to the bottom of the product.

Building the first part of the pattern

So, first you need to designate the horizontal. This is the line of the chest, which is located in accordance with the value of the "chest height" measurement on the side of the rectangle equal to the length of the article. Then the work is done on this horizontal line. First of all, the back zone is equal to the width of the back, then the armhole zone goes on. Calculate it like this: measure the circumference of the chest divide by 4 and add 2 cm. The resulting value is marked with a dot on the drawing. All that is left on the line is the width of the transmission. Since this is a summer sarafan on shoulder straps, here the backrest and the armhole on its side can be left as high as it is. But with the front will have to work. The area of the armhole should be divided in half and from this point smoothly rise to the desired height of the sarafan over the chest. Next, you should select a tuck of the chest. To do this, from the middle of the transfer, half of the "tumbling solution" retreat and at the right angle to the line of the chest pull the line up. The second strip of darts is drawn according to the required protection. Usually it is 1.5-2 cm. The work with the top part of the dart can be considered complete.

Building the second part of the pattern

Next, you need to hold the auxiliary verticals, one of which will be a side seam, and the other two will be used to construct the trailing taps. It should be noted that all the complex works have already been completed and only a very small amount has remained!

So, the side line is lowered parallel to the sides of the rectangle, retreating on the chest line a couple of centimeters from the midpoint of the armhole. The other two are located exactly in the middle of the front and back halves of the shelves. Further calculations are made to determine the difference between the waist and chest measurement, the resulting values are divided into three and form darts, nullifying their tops at the hip (not exceeding 4 cm) and chest.

Building the third part of the pattern

Next, the job is to properly arrange the side seam along the thigh line. There should not be any complications here either. First, you should divide the measurement of the hips in half, and then postpone this value from the middle to the side seam along the thigh line and put a point. And from the middle of the front shelf is identical. Ideally, it should turn out that the points are offset from the side seam by about 2 cm. Next, all you need to do is to connect a smooth line with a point with an incomplete tipping of the side seam and extend this line to the bottom of the product, expanding the parts by about 2-3 cm .

Modeling

From this pattern you can take only the upper part and instead of a direct silhouette make a magnificent bottom. For example, sew to the waist line the skirt of the sun or make a bottom in the wrinkle. Today models of sundresses with a knitted top and a multi-layer chiffon skirt are very popular. Also, based on this pattern, you can sew a sundress on the floor with a slightly flared skirt and a high cut from the side. Or the evening version - with a tight silhouette. You can also experiment with the top of the product by transferring a dart to the armpit area or by making relief seams with contrasting inserts. The design options are simply mass, it is only necessary to include a flight of fantasy - and an exciting occupation will bring the result in the form of a chic summer wardrobe.

Cutting parts processing

Sewing a sarafan on your shoulder straps with your own hands is easy! When the template is ready, all that remains is to transfer it to the fabric, cut it out taking into account the allowances for seams and to assemble the parts into the product. The sewing sequence is as follows:

1. Darts on all the details are closed.
2. Stitch side seams.
3. Sew a zipper in the middle back seam or stitch with a string of rubber, the back, a little short of the hoist line.
4. Process the upper cut by obtachka or byte.
5. Sewn straps.
6. Process the bottom of the product.

Everything, a sarafan on straps, a photo of which is presented in the article, is ready!

Knitted sarafan

Often, people who knit, say that they are not at all friendly with sewing. But the whole paradox is that in order to make a knitted sarafan on shoulder straps, it will be made by hooks or knitting needles, a pattern will still be required. And the assembly phase, on which parts are connected, as a rule, with a standard manual seam "for a needle", can not be avoided. Therefore, the above construction of the template will be useful for all skilled workers.

To make a knitted summer sarafan, it is better to choose fine yarn with natural fiber. Original products with an openwork pattern made of silk threads with a lining sewed according to the proposed template from the tissue of the microslask will look original . By the way, the knitted details themselves must correspond to the pattern, because only in this case it will be possible to achieve an ideal fit.
