• Determine the length and width of the summer dress. To do this, take measurements, measuring their parameters (half-circumference of the chest, waist, hips, length and width of the armholes). We perform the operation using a centimeter tape.
• We cut out four equilateral rectangles, which will serve as details for our outfit. We got 2 parts for the base of the dress (length 90 cm and width 66 cm), 2 parts for tailoring the shuttlecock (length 132 and width 32 cm).

Important! In these measurements, we took into account all allowances for the seams (based on 3 cm, on the ruffle - 2 cm). For example, we will cut a dress with our own hands for a girl who wears 48 clothing sizes.

This also applies to the armhole, which also needs to be left untreated for now, stepping 25 cm from the top of the dress (armhole length). Iron and overcast seams. Now we are laying the same finishing line along the side armholes.

• We turn up once the product, leaving an unsharpened area of ​​1.5 cm for threading the gum.
• Now it's time to measure the gum. Its length is the circumference of the shoulder circumference. We put the elastic in the free upper edge of the base, connect its ends with a sewing seam and do a line on a sewing machine.
• Now we hem the bottom of the ruffle and outfit with a seam to hem or process the edge in an overlock or zigzag fashion.

That's all the work! Now you know how to sew a dress with a frill on top! This is a great idea for a romantic date with your loved one.

How to sew a blouse with bare shoulders?

How to easily and quickly sew a blouse with frill on the shoulders with your own hands? Where to get a clear pattern of product patterns? We will tell you about this now, having examined a detailed master class. In such clothes you will be incredibly feminine, and men will not give you a pass.

Materials and tools:

1. Favorite color fabric with a width of 50 cm and a width of 1.5 cm (42 sizes).
2. Rubber.
3. Slanting edging
4. Threads in tone of fabric.
5. Threads for overcasting.
6. Centimeter.
7. Pins
8. Needle.
9. Scissors.
10. Chalk or remnant.
11. Chalk board.
12. Overlock.
13. Sewing machine.

Working process:

• We prepare the fabric for cutting. We produce the material (check for shrinkage), iron it with the maximum steam output. If you use a natural fabric, for example, silk, for a blouse with ruffles, we advise you to soak it in warm water, squeeze it slightly, dry and iron at minimum power.
• Since our blouse with frills of a straight free cut, we focus on the pattern size of the model with a chest tuck. We note the depth of the cutout on an already finished pattern. Transfer the marked borders to the fabric using chalk or a small remnant.
• Fold the material in half with the front sides inward, with the edges facing each other, moving along the shared thread. An exception may be the transverse arrangement of the warp fibers or the direction of the pattern. We lay out the obtained patterns of the back and shelves on the fabric and combine the middle of the details with the folds on the material.
• We circle our pattern, we slightly fit it along the side lines.

Important! If you want to sew a very loose blouse, then do not perform this action, but proceed to the next.

• We note the increase: on the side seams - 2 cm, on the upper and lower edges - 1.5 cm.

Important! Along the line of the armhole, we deliberately do not add allowances due to the fact that we will process its edge with a slanting inlay.

• We cut strips for building shuttlecocks from the remains of the fabric with a width of 15 cm + 1.5 cm for the hem and a length equal to the circumference of the upper circumference of the shoulders, multiplied by 2 (for assembling the top of the dress).

Important! If there is a lack of fabric, cut out a strip with several seams that should be from the bottom of the shelf.

• We transfer all marked borders from one part to another with the help of a chalk board. We sweep, grind, and then iron the tuck with allowances in the upper direction. We sweep and stitch the sections from the side of the shelf, iron their back.
• We make the product basing, which is necessary so that it is possible to make changes after a preliminary fitting of the dress. We combine side seams with each other, chop them with pins. We put on a dress, check the correspondence of the seams and the feeling of comfort. If the product squeezes you somewhere or you want to make a neckline at the front or back, we perform additional operations.
• Now we process the armholes with an oblique inlay.
• We process the shuttlecock. We connect the details of the ruffle so that one whole circle is obtained. We wrap the slices on the overlock, and then iron them. We decorate the lower section of the ruffle with a zigzag or narrow sewing line.

Important! To perform this operation, you can safely use a slanting trim, lace, sewing or braid.

• We lay two parallel machine lines along the upper cut of the ruffle, slightly loosening the upper thread.
• Pull the ends of the lower threads to assemble the shuttle assembly. The assembly should match your girth of the upper shoulder circumference.
• We connect the shuttlecock to the main product, applying it with the front side inward. We combine the upper section of the dress with the section of ruffle, pin it off with pins, sweep and connect the shuttlecock with an outfit (along the back and the shelf) with a 1.5 cm seam. We grind the assembly shuttlecock between two lines to evenly distribute the assembled strip and avoid getting lines on the outside of the product .
• We direct allowances towards the outfit. We fix them with a line, keeping a distance of 1.5 cm from the connecting seam of the product with the shuttlecock.
• We insert the elastic, stretching it a little, we fix the ends.
• Sew the elastic in the shoulder area to the quill allowance in a zigzag pattern, holding the elastic in a taut state.
• We bend the increase to the wrong side and fix the allowances with a rubber band using the usual machine stitch on the front side of the product.
• We put on a blouse and check the tension of the elastic. We adjust comfort by moving the elastic on the shelf and back. Trim the excess gum.
• We sew over the lower medium of the blouse on the overlock, and then bend the edge by 1 cm to stitch it on a sewing machine.
