How to build a pattern of skirts-tulips? Basics of creating a dress with a tulip skirt

In the wardrobe of every fashionista, the obligatory garment is a skirt - it is a long-established fact that is not subject to doubt! Different styles and colors of this simple gizmo can create a unique style, ranging from hooligan sports and ending with austere and elegant. Of course, cut plays a huge role, and it's about the possibilities of modeling that we'll talk about later.

A real find of designers was a model such as a skirt-tulip. The template for this product is created on the basis of a simple pattern of a straight skirt. But the landing of such a model favorably differs by originality from all other variations. And it is for this reason that the season favorite for fashionistas is the skirt-tulip. Pattern (you can create it yourself with the help of the description below) is quite simple to perform, so even a novice master can master such a product.

Preparatory work: building a straight skirt

As already mentioned, the pattern of skirts-tulips is based on the template of the direct model. Therefore, to sew a fashionable new thing, you must first build a pattern of a straight skirt. To do this, you need to remove the following measurements from the figure:

• Girth of the waist;
• Thigh circumference;
• Height from the waist line to the hip line;
• Length of the finished product.

To create a drawing is best either on a piece of wallpaper, or on a cut of a dense construction film with a permanent marker. Its lines will not disappear on polyethylene and will be bright enough on paper. First draw a right angle with two rays: the vertical is equal to the length of the product, the horizontal one is half the circumference of the thighs. Half of the front and rear shelves will appear on the drawing. Further along the vertical, you should fall down in accordance with the "height from waist to hips" measurement and from the resulting point draw a parallel of the existing horizontal. The upper line will be the waistline, the lower one - the hips.

Important nuances

To get a pattern of skirts-tulips with an excellent fit, you should not overlook the talisman taps in the drawing of a direct model. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the difference between the girth of the hips and waist and distribute this value to the dart on the side seam and the back shelf of the product. Each dart should not be deeper than 1.5 cm. And the peaks must necessarily be 5 cm from the hip line. On the front of the side seam to the fold of the shelf it is necessary to remove a half centimeter for a more accurate fit of the product over the stomach. It should also be noted that in the side seams you can pick up up to 2.5 cm of the difference in the value of the circles.

Modeling of the tulip style

After you are ready to prepare a straight skirt, you can proceed with the design of the desired style. The pattern of skirts-tulips, as a rule, is understated to the line of knees. Therefore, the first thing to do is to cut down the lateral seam on both halves by about 5-7 cm. Next, the blanks are cut out and the vertical stripes are delineated on the details. The first goes from the fold line of the shelf at a distance of 2.5 cm, the rest - at a distance of 5 cm from each other. This value is not constant and can be changed depending on the desired depth of folds along the waist line. The classical pattern of skirts-tulips provides a strictly vertical direction of the lines, but you can experiment with the slope. Subsequently, the resulting verticals are cut, not reaching the bottom, approximately 0.5 cm. The elements of the pattern are moved apart by a distance similar to the width of the strips and fixed in this position with adhesive tape. At the same time, the bottom of the product is twisted by an arc. The next step is to lay the bow folds at the waist according to the size of the strips and the indentations between them.

If you need a pattern of a skirt-tulip with pockets, then the entrance to them is made either by the center of the inner bow of the fold, or in the side seam of the skirt. In this model, slit or oblique side pockets are most often performed. The burlap is deep enough to make the pocket not useless.

This is how they build a pattern, according to which the skirt-tulip is sewn. Patterns with their own hands are constructed quite simply. A little perseverance, confidence - and you can start to open the canvas.

Manufacturing of a dress with a bottom "tulip"

Using the obtained modernized pattern of the skirt, you can sew an excellent dress with a fitted tight bodice. There are a lot of options for designing such a product. In it, you can make hanging sleeves of ¾ length, or flap them to the wrist. You can also make a summer version with a wide shoulder, which will look like a half-mitten sleeve. The dress pattern with a tulip skirt includes the skirt pattern itself, as well as the top and sleeve.

To make the top you need to remove additional measures: girth and chest height, shoulder width and back.

Building a pattern of the bodice

The simplest version of making the top of the dress is that on a knitted fabric folded in half, you need to mark on the bend half the chest girth and the midline. From it the semicircumference of the neck and to the sides - the width of the shoulders, oblique by 1.5 cm and elongated by 5-7 cm. Further from the shoulder line at the neck, it is necessary to mark the breast line and on it to designate the border of the armhole. The bottom seam of the sleeve must come out of the side seam of the top. On the waist line, several darts should be made according to the difference in chest girth and waist circumference. If the chest is not very large, then if you use a knitted fabric additional tucks will not be required, but one of the side seams will need to insert a secret zipper.
