How to sew a dress?

It is not difficult to make a princess carnival costume. Its foundation is the dress, and this is the most difficult stage of the work. However, the process of its tailoring is not as difficult as it may seem.

For convenience, the work can be divided into parts: first to do the bodice of the product, and after - the skirt. The first step is to develop a product template. Therefore, armed with a centimeter tape, you need to take the following measurements from the child: the volume of the chest and waist, the volume of the tummy, the width of the back, the width of the transmission, the width of the shoulder, the girth of the neck, chest height, the length of the back and passing to the waist and sleeve length.

Building a pattern of bodice in a bodice

All taken measurements are transferred to paper as follows:

• It is necessary to draw a rectangle with sides equal to the values of the "chest girth" measurement and "back length" to the waist.
• According to the "chest height" measure, determine the breast line on the drawing.
• Mark the neck in the upper corners of the drawing. Here everything depends on the model, the neck can be highly closed or open beautifully decorated neckline, where a precious necklace of beads and stones will be displayed.
• To denote the edge of the shoulder line, the "back width" measurement should be left in the drawing, along the upper side of the rectangle. The humeral line for a beautiful planting is taken out with an understating of the edge by 1.5 cm.
• Next, go down to the line of the chest and divide it into a zone of the back, armhole and hand. The first of them is equal to the width of the back, the second is calculated by dividing the volume of the breast by 4, and the remainder falls on the area of the front shelf.
• The next step is to determine the middle in the armhole area. From it will come out a side seam, which, if necessary, you can make a dart for the waist.
• Next, you should refine the armhole, connecting the extreme points of the shoulder seams with the midpoint. In doing so, you should draw a smooth line, rounding off all the sharp corners.

At this stage, the billet for the bodice is ready. Next, it must be transferred to the fabric and cut, taking into account the allowances for the processing of seams.

Construction of a sleeve pattern

Children's costume of the princess can be made with a small sleeve or, conversely, make them long with beautiful corners falling to the floor at the wrist. To make a template, you will need a ready-made pattern of the bodice of the dress. It is folded over the shoulder seams and surrounds the armhole along the contour. If you finish the circle, part of which is formed on the pellet of the shoulder, and at its bottom in the center place a segment equal to the upper arm circumference, extend this line in both directions and draw, circling the circumference, the sleeve of the sleeve, the length of which would be equal to the armhole cut, For tailoring.

However, if you sew, for example, the costume of Princess Leia, it will be enough to fold the fabric in half and simply designate the side and sleeve seams with a smooth transition under the arm.

Sewing of skirts

Sew a skirt and connect it with a bodice, getting an excellent princess costume with your own hands - it's easy! To produce it, it takes only two measures: the length of the product and the volume of the baby's abdomen. Next, after calculating the necessary amount of fabric, you can draw a template directly on the canvas, since it is a regular rectangle, which is closed with a seam and is assembled at the top by an elastic band. Here you can simplify the task, leaving the bodice and skirt in separate details, so as not to stitch the zipper and do not sew buttons. If the product is multi-layered, each of the layers must be closed individually, but they can all be assembled on top of one rubber band.

The lower layers should be made of hard tulle, then soft, then the main fabric.
