For the lesson we prepared several models of summer dresses. To make a pattern of each of them will be required, created by individual standards taken from the figure of your little inch. Of course, you can build the base pattern yourself. by any method. We suggest using our generator, just enter the shape measurements in the form and the program will create a pattern in a matter of minutes. You just have to print the pattern on a printer of any format. The cost of such a base pattern is small, and the value is huge. You can use it many times. And today we show how. Let's get down to the lesson.

Summer dress with pockets

The first dress is sewn on children's dresses almost unchanged.

In fact, we only need to place a pocket on the front part. Our pocket is not simple, but curly, with two entrances. The upper part of the pocket is trimmed with a contrast trim and edging. Connected to the dress with buttons.

1 step modeling. We adapt the neck, make it a little wider and deeper.

2 step. Put the top line of the pocket on the detail of the dress shelf pattern. According to the model, the upper cut of the pocket falls directly along the waistline of the dress.

3 step. In parallel with the top line of the pocket, outline the neckline of the desired width.

Dress with a bow

A dress for a baby with a collar from the neck and a bow looks very cute and stylish. Try to sew it for your daughter, because the pattern is very easy to model!

1 step - slightly expand and deepen the neck

2 step - outline ½ the depth of the oncoming fold along the center line of the shelf.

3 step. Cut a strip for a bow

Cutting dress at the waist

This cute summer dress for the girl, made in the marine theme. His model with a detachable skirt, a short sleeve and a sailor collar - guis, is also modeled on the basis of our basic pattern.

1 step. Raise the waistline by 3-4 cm. Check its girth, comparing with measurements.

2 step. Shorten the sleeve to the desired length. Check the sleeve width and arm circumference.

3 step. The construction of the pattern of the collar is carried out on the details of the back and shelves. So you can easily navigate in its size and proportions. Trust the sketch and your taste. The figure shows how to outline the collar lines and then align along the shoulder line to make it seamless.

4 step. We recommend carving a skirt for the dress in the form of a rectangle, it will be easier to process the bottom of the skirt with a wide hem and it will be beautifully puffed. Do not forget to decorate the bottom of the dress, the bottom of the sleeve, the collar with contrasting tape!

5 step. The belt consists of two rectangular parts, about 0.5-0.7 meters long, depending on the size of the dress itself, 6-8 cm wide when finished. It can also be decorated with braid. Insert the belt parts into the side seams when sewing the bodice parts.

Smart dress

The next model is an elegant children's dress. Cut-off just above the waist, wide skirt gathered. It is a bit like the previous one, but there are also differences. The bodice of the dress with embossed seams from the shoulder to the waist line, into which a wide frill is inserted - a wing. The shelf is finished in the form of horizontal folds-pinches. Zipper on the back. On the back along the waist line is a bow belt.

1 step. After we have determined the new location of the waistline, having slightly overestimated it (according to the model), we will start drawing relief lines. The reliefs along the front and back originate at the point dividing the shoulder section in half and end perpendicular to the new waistline.

2 step. The middle part of the shelf must be laid with folds and sharpen their depth. Fold folds down. We recommend that you prepare this part of the gear with large allowances, and when the folds are processed, stitched and ironed, correct the part by applying a pattern.

3 step. The pattern of frill-wings is a rectangle 10-15 cm wide (depending on the size of the dress) and a length equal to the length of the relief of the front and back and increased by 1.5-2 times.

4 step. The bow belt is also rectangular. The width is 15-20 cm. It consists of two parts, 0.5-0.8 cm long, and is sewn into the seam of grinding reliefs with the main details of the bodice.

5 step. As in the previous dress, we recommend making the skirt rectangular, with one canvas. Its width is equal to 1.5-2 the length of the waist line on the pattern of the bodice! Closure in the middle seam of the back.

Summer dress with ties on the back

The pattern of a summer dress-sundress for a girl is also modeled on a children's dress.

1 step. We outline the cut line of the bodice from the skirt.

2 step. According to the sketch, we outline the width of the yoke of the bodice. On the back, the coquette goes into a tie-belt of arbitrary length (the width is equal to the width of the coquette along the back).

3 step. The strap is integral and equal to the distance from the front yoke to the top of the back yoke, over the shoulder. Strap width approx. Equal to 1/3 of the shoulder length.

4 step. The skirt can be cut out in the form of a rectangle. As in the previous case, dresses. We show in the figure another way to model a skirt.

Sundress for the girl

1 step. First you need to get rid of the shoulder tuck on the back. Just ignore it, in this model it can be done without fear, it will not affect the final result.

2 step. We outline the raglan lines along which we cut off the shoulder part of the shelf and back. We focus on the sketch.

3 step. We outline the cut lines along the details with which we will expand the pattern to form the assembly.

4 step. Cut out a tie in the form of a ribbon of arbitrary length. Its width is 4-5 cm, depending on the ductility and thickness of the fabric. The tie is threaded into the drawstring, formed by a wide allowance for bending, on the top of the neck of the front and back. The degree of tying the tape will determine the width of the neck of the dress, the depth of the armhole. A very successful model of a summer sundress, which can grow with your child (you can also make a hem on the bottom with a margin)!

We hope our today's lesson will be useful to you! Thank you for being with us.

Hello, friends!

Recently, I have been receiving these letters:

“Elena, help! Urgent need to sew a ball gown for the New Year's ball for a girl of 12 years old, slim, slim ... Help with a pattern and fabric calculation please. I want a fluffy long skirt, probably on a nylon lining for volume. I also need advice - what is the best way to perform a yoke? Thank you in advance. Elena.

"Hello, Elena.
I really want to sew my daughter a dress for the New Year's party, but I don’t know how to sew the shuttlecocks correctly. Do I need to handle the top of the shuttle? How to apply it in order to sew it? I attach a photo of the dress to the letter. Please tell me how to sew it.
Regards, Alla. ”

“Elena, hello! I beg you for help. My daughter asked for such a dress for the holiday, but I do not know how to sew a skirt. Maybe you will tell. Thank you in advance, Catherine ”

In anticipation of the festive matinees, I think for many the topic of tailoring a children's ball gown is relevant. This is only confirmed by such letters.

I decided to highlight the topic in this publication a little, answering the questions of Elena, Alla, Ekaterina and many other mothers, concerned about sewing a children's ball gown.

Let's start with the dress that Elena liked.

Immediately make a reservation about the pattern. I do not have ready-made dress patterns, but now there are a lot of resources on the network that provide the ability to download and print patterns.

Any search engine will give you several options.

For my part, I planned to make a video on how to build the basic foundation of a dress for girls aged 6-10. On this basis, you can easily simulate different options for dresses. Stay tuned for blog posts.

By the way, how to build a drawing of a dress for a younger girl, you can see.

If you do not want to build or search in the search engines and print patterns, just buy a magazine with ready-made patterns.

I already told you how easy it is to retake such patterns, just repeat this video:

Let me also remind you that I have a master class on dress sewing for girls, where the basics are attached, ready-made patterns from 80 to 122 sizes (in height) and dress modeling options. Take a look.

About how to make a calculation of fabric consumption for a children's dress, I recorded a short video.

If you have questions, ask in the comments.
Many sewing books - CLICK

Regarding the coquette, Elena and I figured out.

In this model there is no coquette. There is a bodice that is attached to the panel of the skirt.

In the article, I talked about how to stitch a yoke to an assembly product. In the same way, you can stitch the bodice of the dress to the skirt.

One of the options for assembling the dress:

Stitch the side and shoulder sections of the back and shelves, overcast the sections (until the middle seam of the back is left unfinished for fastening);
To start and overcast side cuts on a skirt;
Stitch the middle seam along the back of the skirt, leaving the area for the zipper open approx. 15cm
Stitch cuts sleeves, overcast;
To process slices of shuttlecocks;
Connect shuttlecocks with sleeves;
Stitch sleeves, overcast a cut;
Connect the bodice and the skirt, combining the notches (center, side sections, middle seam);
Stitch the zipper;
Grind the neck;
Process the bottom cut of the dress.

The underskirt can be sewn separately and worn with dresses. In my opinion, it’s more practical - you can use one skirt for different dresses.

The more magnificent you need a skirt, the more layers should be in it.

If you do not want to sew the lower skirt separately, then it will need to be prepared at the stage between attaching the bodice to the skirt, and then simultaneously connected to the bodice with the main skirt.

I repeat that this is an approximate dress assembly scheme.

Depending on the selected technological processing, it may vary.

The second dress looks like this:

The main difficulty of this model is cutting and attaching shuttlecocks.

This topic has already been disclosed in a series of articles on cutting and processing shuttlecocks, I will repeat links to publications:

In this version of the dress, the upper shuttlecock is inserted between the details of the bodice and skirt, which are stitched together. You can build up the upper shuttlecock, in which case the upper cut of the shuttlecock needs to be processed, for example, overcast and bent.

Important: It is better to start attaching shuttlecocks from the bottom up, that is, first the lower shuttlecock is the first level, then the second level, the third .. and finally the upper one.

You can make such a skirt in many ways.

For example, first carve and assemble the base for the skirt, and then stitch shuttlecocks on it sequentially.

Or sew a skirt from the same fabric as the shuttlecocks and stitch the rest of the shuttlecocks on it.

In my opinion, the first option is more practical and economical, especially if the fabric for shuttlecocks is not very cheap. Choose you.

According to the assembly sequence, the dress is similar to the first, with the exception of the sleeve.

Third dress.

About how to sew a similar skirt, I told here in this video:

For a dress, you will need to carve out a long skirt-base and stitch on it “feathers” from tulle of various lengths. And then grind the prepared skirt to the bodice.

A bodice is used as a bodice in this dress, and the dress is most likely lined up.

First, the parts of the corsage are assembled (for rigidity, you can insert into the allowances for the seams of the bones or regiline), then the skirt, then everything is connected together.

The upper section of the bodice can be first machined with a grinder, and then lined to it. You can treat the cut immediately with a lining cloth or edging.

What treatment to use, you choose.

By the way, if you sew a dress from a magazine, then most often the entire sewing sequence is painted, which is very convenient.

This turned out to be a voluminous publication on how to sew a ball gown.

I understand that those who plan to sew dresses for girls with their own hands still have many questions, but I hope that you will find answers to at least some of them today.

And as always, several models of children's dresses for inspiration.

For little princesses!

I really liked this blue dress!

It seems to be not a very complex style, but how beautiful the image is made up and the details are chosen, a sight for sore eyes!

Hardworking - a bright light burns through life, lazy - a dim candle

Children's dresses - easy to sew by yourself! Part 1

Hello dear mommies, I'm starting series of articles on tailoring children's dresses. The motto of these articles will be “Down with complicated drawings and sophisticated calculations of patterns”.

Many people are frightened by complicated patterns, taking measurements, various mathematical calculations, especially if at school you were not very friends with geometry and drawing.

My goal will be to explain everything so that even those without a mathematical mindset, mothers can sew clothes for their child.

I will show how to sew beautiful children's dresses by myself - I will tell everything in the most detailed and accessible language, without resorting to abstruse tailor's terms.

For each dress I will draw pictures-schemes on which I will try to gradually reflect the sewing of a children's dress, starting from creating a pattern to working with fabric. Even those who do not have sewing and sewing machine skills will be able to please their little daughter with a new thing sewn by loving mother's hands.

So let's get started!

A simple one-piece dress is the basis of all dresses

Let's start with a simple one-piece dress. I will tell and show how to make a pattern of a one-piece baby dress, and then sew all these dresses on this one pattern.

Yes, having only one pattern, we will continue to sew a lot of different beautiful models of children's dresses. Let's get started ...

Draw a pattern

As I promised, there will be nothing super complicated. Open the closet with your baby’s clothes and find there a T-shirt that is just right for her (that is, not close and not large, but more or less in size).

This shirt will serve us as an assistant in creating patterns for future dresses.

We also need a sheet of paper of such a size that it fits the pattern of our future dress - I use a tube of unnecessary old wallpaper for this (if there are no old ones, buy a tube of the cheapest wallpaper in the store - this roll will last you for many patterns, like a baby so-so).

We unfold the sheet of wallpaper on the floor upside down (so that the pattern does not distract from the pattern), press the edges with something, so that he does not bend and crawl on the floor (I press with my husband's dumbbells or thick books). On top we put a straightened (pre-ironed) shirt and draw a pencil around the shirt along the contour. They circled, that's all, we no longer need a shirt.

Note! If you did not find sleeveless shirts, and there is only a T-shirt with a sleeve, do not worry, it will do too. When you circle a T-shirt, use a simple pin to outline the armholes through the sleeve of the T-shirt. Along the entire seam of the armhole, pierce with a pin through the T-shirt and the paper underneath. To do this, it is better to spread the paper not on a solid surface, but on a carpet - so holes will be better pierced. And then, along this holey line, draw a contour of the armhole with a marker (armholes are a hole for the hands).

And now, on top of these contours of the T-shirt, we will draw our pattern

The contours of the drawn T-shirt will greatly facilitate the creation of a pattern. They will help us depict the proportional silhouette of the dress, where you do not need to calculate the length of the shoulder, the width under the chest, the length of the armhole (the armhole is a hole for the arm) - all this will already be on the painted T-shirt. We look at the figure above. We circled the shirt (Fig. 1), we drew a dress along the contour of the shirt (Fig. 2).

Pay attention to 3 points:

the shoulders of the dress should be slightly slanted
the bottom of the dress is not a straight line, but a rounded
the side lines from the armpits down slightly diverge to the sides (like a trapezoid)

There is one more important note:

For those who doubt whether the pattern drawn in this way is suitable for your child - there is a simple tailor's way to check it. This method will also allow you to draw any shape of armholes (hand holes) on your dress. The contours of the armhole and the neck do not have to be the same in shape as the shirt. You yourself can choose any shape and depth of the armholes and neck. There is only 2 rules, in compliance with which the drawn pattern is perfect for your child.

The dress has 2 important parameters on which the dress will be sized to your child. They are displayed in the image below:

The 1st parameter is the width of the dress along the axillary line (value A)

The 2nd parameter is the magnitude of the armhole from the axillary line to the shoulder (value B)

To do this, take only one measurement - baby's bosom - take a centimeter and wrap it around the chest on its most convex part and remember the number (this will be the value girth breast), and now divide this figure by 2 (this will be the value half girth chest).

Now look at the figure - it says how to calculate the values \u200b\u200bof A and B

For instance, girth the breasts of my two year old daughter (height 85 cm, weight 11 kg) - 50 cm. Means to get half girth - 50 divided in half \u003d 25 cm.

The value A \u003d 25 cm + 6 cm \u003d 31 cm.

That is, the dress drawn by me should have a width of 31 cm from armpit to armpit. Then it will be in size - it will not be cramped - since these additional 6 cm are added precisely for the free fitting of the dress.

And if you want a dress a little for growth - then add not 6 cm, but 7-8 cm. The value of B \u003d 25 cm: 4 + 7 = 6 cm 2 mm + 7 = 13 cm 2 mm (these millimeters can be safely neglected). That is, if the height of the drawn armhole is 13 cm, this armhole is ideal for my baby.

That's all, observing these 2 simple rules, we will always have a dress pattern suitable for our baby size. And no complicated drawings.

So, we drew the contours of our future dress. Now make seam allowances - from the contours of the dress they retreated by 2 cm and once again drew with a bold bright marker (Fig. 3 in the first diagram). These will be the final contours of the dress with allowances for the side and shoulder seams, below the allowance for hem hem and allowance for processing armholes and necks.

(By the way, there are tailor's standards: on the side and shoulder seams - an allowance of 1.5-2 cm, on the armhole and neck - 1-1.5 cm, on the hem of the hem - 4-6 cm). But I just look at the fabric - if it crumbles a lot at the cut, then it is better to make a larger allowance, and then while you are sewing and trying on half the allowance, it will turn into a fringe.

And yet, when you draw the dress, do not be upset if you have a crooked - one shoulder is more beveled than the other or the left armhole in shape is not the same as the right one. This is not important, as we will transfer to the fabric only one half drawn patterns (left or right - which one you got more beautiful) - and when cutting the part of the dress will turn out to be absolutely symmetrical.

Now you will understand ...

Divide the pattern in half to get one shelf

To make the detail of the dress symmetrical (that is, the left and right sides of the part are the same), we need only one half of the resulting pattern.

To do this, we fold the cut out pattern in half - approximately shoulder to shoulder, armpit to the armpit (approximately because if you draw crookedly, then the shoulders and armpits of the left and right halves may not coincide completely when added).

Folded and received fold line (Fig. 2), which just goes in the middle of the dress, and along this line you need to cut the pattern to get only one half of it (the shelf - as the tailors call it - left or right, which one you have more beautiful and even turned out) - fig. 3.

Pattern is ready. It would seem simple, the way it is.

We translate the pattern on the fabric and sew

We have in our hands a pattern of one shelf (left or right) and now we need to transfer it to the fabric and cut out the detail of the back and dress.

The resulting pattern of the shelf was first put on one side of the fabric - circled with chalk (Fig. 4), then flipped over with the other side mirrored (moving the center middle line of the shelf to the similar line just drawn in small chalk) (Fig. 5) - and also circled. And the result is an absolutely symmetrical finished part of the front or back of the future dress.

By the way, if there is no crayon, you can use a colored pencil or sharpen a regular piece of soap with a knife (a light soap draws well on colored fabric) on white fabric it is wonderful to paint with children's colored wax crayons.

The exact same part is cut out for the back. Yes, for many dresses (especially summer ones), the details of the front and back are exactly the same. But you can draw a back pattern that is different from the front pattern, it will take you 2 minutes. Read below

Pattern of the back and its differences

Usually, the classical pattern of the front and back of the product differs from each other by the depth of the neck and armholes (armholes are hand holes).

As seen in the picture above, armholes and neckline more curved inward, i.e. deeper (blue outline), and at the back they are less deep (red outline).

And if you look at the photographs of dresses at the beginning of the article, you will notice the difference in the neckline and the armholes of the front and back.

Having examined a lot of ready-made children's dresses in the store, I came to the conclusion that few dresses have a difference in the neckline of the armholes of the back and front. That is, the armholes of the back and front coincide in most sleeveless dresses. And at dresses with sleeves the armholes of the back are less deep than the armholes of the front - as in our diagram above). The difference in the depth of the neck, as a rule, is, but also not always.

Conclusion: for children's summer dresses without sleeves, the same armholes and the same neck at the front and back are absolutely acceptable. For children's dresses with sleeves, the armholes of the back are made less deep.

You yourself are the creators and artists of the future dress. As you draw, it will be so - in any case, you will get a beautiful dress, do not worry.

Sew in front and back together

Now (Fig. 6), we put both parts on top of each other inward and connect the side and shoulder seams manually with coarse stitches.

We try on and, if everything is good, we sew these seams on a typewriter, and then we pull out this rough thread (for those who do not have a typewriter, you can simply go to a clothing repair point or atelier; stitching a couple of seams will cost you $ 1).

We bend the hem and also sew it on a typewriter, or we sew manually with hidden stitches (ask mom or grandmother - she will show how).

Now need clean the neck and armholes (fig. 7). You can simply bend the edges inward and stitch. And you can buy braid or a slanting inlay and process her neck, - this is done in most children's dresses.

In any children's store you will find many dresses for little women of fashion whether it is festive or knitted. Leading model houses also do not deprive the attention of their youngest clients. But quite often, children's things cost so much that mom thinks three hundred times before taking out her wallet. Do you want to dress a child or teenager, but finances do not allow? You can do a lot yourself, if you try hard. Where to get patterns of children's dresses for beginners? It’s not difficult to make simple patterns with your own hands for free, we’ll talk about some methods.

Not everyone knows about it, but to sew a dress for a girl, a pattern is not necessary at all! Without a pattern, you can sew:

outfit in folk style;
ball gown;
summer sundress.

Have you thought about where to start? Let’s do sundress then - this is the easiest way. But first, you need to take some measurements - it’s best to write them down if you are not going to limit yourself to just one product.

Measure:

the growth of your little daughter;
chest girth;
waist circumference
hip girth;
shoulder length;
sleeve length (you don’t need it for a sundress, but if you’ve already taken measurements, it’s useful to do everything right away);
estimated product length.

Important! For a sundress on the straps, measure the length of the product from the armpit to the estimated bottom line.

Choose fabric

In general, sewing on small children is a pleasure. The seams are short, the fabric needs little, no tucks and complex parts. The simpler the style, the better. It is enough to choose a beautiful fabric, and even the most elementary, but neatly sewn dress will look like a princess.

Important! You can use the patches left over from your new mother’s dress, or you can change something your daughter wants — good, but you’ve got enough of it.

If you choose material for a summer sarafan, it is better to choose one that drapes well:

crepe de chine;
chiffon;
thin chintz;
satin;
poplin;
gauze.

Important! Chintz fits just perfectly - inexpensive, very hygienic, bright, suitable for a New Year's dress. And it’s okay that he quickly fades - all the same, by the next summer, the daughter will grow out of this dress.

Still, to sew a children's, light dress with your own hands, you need:

linen gum;
ribbon to match fabric - for strapless and fringing.

We sew a sarafan

Perhaps this model with elastic and straps is the simplest dress for a girl with her own hands. If you sew it from an opaque fabric, it will be single-layer. It is better to fold the gauze in two layers or make a cover. Below are photo sketches.

Operating procedure:

Spread the fabric upside down in one layer.
Draw a topline perpendicular to the edges.
From this line, lay down the length of the product, plus allowances for the drawstring at the top and for processing the bottom - you can immediately draw the drawstring line.
Through this mark, draw another perpendicular to the edges.
Along the line that runs along the lobar, set aside a section equal to the circumference of the chest, multiplied by 1.5 or 2 (depending on how well the fabric is draped: if it is gauze, it is better to make lush assemblies, if chintz or satin are more modest )
Cut out the part.

Sundress assembly

How to sew a baby dress with your own hands? Very simple. This model has only one seam, plus bottom processing, plus drawstring:

Start with the drawstring - iron the top cut to the wrong side, then fold the fold by 0.5 cm and sew it all up (it is better to make a decorative stitch on the front side).
On the seamy side, stitch the back seam, leave the area near the drawstring uncovered so that you can insert the elastic.
Insert the rubber band.
Try the blank on your daughter.
Schedule strapless spots.
Cut 2 pieces of braid, sew on the straps.
Cut the bottom - hem it manually or stitch it up.
The hem can be used to sew the same braid from which the straps are made.

Important! The straps of such a sundress can be made tied.

Sundress on the yoke

If you need a dress for a girl, you can sew it with your own hands from two different fabrics. For example, for a coquette, take satin, and for the bottom - crepe de chine. But nothing prevents the construction of such a thing from the same material.

This summer dress on a yoke is also made like a sundress, only the straps are best made wide and from the same fabric as the yoke, and this model does not have a drawstring.

Important! It is better to carve the yoke first on paper - it looks like a strip 5-6 cm wide and a length equal to half the circumference of the chest. There will be 4 parts - two for the front and one for the back. Here are such simple patterns of children's dresses for beginners can be used.

Operating procedure:

Fold the fabric along the lobar (you can immediately in two layers).
Cut 4 strips of the specified size from it (do not forget to add allowances for all sections) - the shared thread coincides with the short side.
Cut out the hem - for this, subtract the width of the yoke from the total length of the product (as with the previous model, it is measured from the armpit to the bottom).
Cut out 2 straps - these are also strips 5-6 cm wide, but, unlike the coquette, when cutting, the shared thread coincides with the long side.

Straps

Start building this model with strapless training:

Fold the strips in half with the sides facing out.
Put long allowances in.
Iron them.
Stitch the seam and stitch the straps around the perimeter.

Yoke

To sew a baby dress with your own hands quickly, connect the yoke with straps, and then sew the bottom:

Sweep strips in pairs: one for the outside, the other for the inside.
Sweep each into a ring.
We try on one of them on the model.
We plan places for strapless - and on that part of the coquette that will be outside, and on that inside.
Carefully unzip the basting, straighten the rings.
Fold the strips designed for the front, with the sides facing each other.
Between them we put straps.
We cut the top seam.
We twist the yoke - the long parts of the strapless should be on the front side.
Iron the seam.
We do the same with the backs - after you sew them, the straps should be sewn.
We concentrate the side seams of the coquette - the allowances should be inside.

Putting on a summer dress

The yoke with straps is ready for you. It remains to grind the hem, but first you need to prepare it:

Sew the back seam.
Flatten the side allowances.
Sew along the sewing line to the yoke with a basting seam and make assemblies.
Insert the upper edge of the main part between the parts of the yoke and sweep.
Stitch the main part to the yoke.

The dress is almost ready, it remains to cut the bottom.

Dress pattern

You can sew a children's dress with your own hands and according to the pattern. Clothing for young children is also good because many things can be sewn on the same patterns. For example, on a T-shirt or T-shirt. To do this, it is not at all necessary to rip apart a thing - you can simply circle it. It’s better to do this on paper first so that you can model the cutout:

Circle the shirt.
For the back of a straight dress, simply extend the side lines down to the desired length.
For the shelf, also continue the lines down to the same length.
Find the middle of the cutout.
Draw a line down from this point.
Set aside 2 cm.
Connect this new point to the beginnings of the shoulder seams.

Cut out 2 details - in front and back.
Cut out the stitches for the neck and armhole - just circle them first along the contour of the pattern, and then make a parallel stroke at a distance of 2.5-3 cm (you need to circle, aligning the front side of the part with the wrong side of the stitching).
Sew the shoulder and side seams of the main parts, while the allowances are ironed to the sides.
Sew neck parts over the shoulder seams.
Flatten the allowances.
Turn the main dress inside out.
Sew the stitches so that their front sides are on the wrong side of the dress.
Sew on the cuts.
Bend the free edges by 0.5 cm and stitch - better with a finishing stitch on the front side.
After that, you just have to cut the bottom.

Elegant dress for the girl with her own hands

Thinking about how to dress a princess for a matinee, but there is almost no time left? Nothing complicated. Now we will talk about how to sew a children's dress with a full skirt - this is the best option, and you can make it in a couple of hours.

You will need:

material for the top (if there is a beautiful swimsuit or body, it will be very good - the upper part can also be made from these items);
tulle or guipure for a skirt;
wide elastic for a belt;
large compass;
long ruler.

Top

The top is the same as for a simple dress without sleeves - that is, a T-shirt is encircled, but only to the waist. Cutout modeled.

If you sew a dress from a swimsuit, simply cut (cut) the lower part or turn the swimsuit into a body by cutting it between your legs and sewing an inconspicuous button there. Why do I need a clasp? Then, so that your little princess does not feel any inconvenience and does not puzzle over what to do if there is a need to go to the toilet.

We begin assembly from the top - we just sew the parts in the same way as in the manufacture of any other clothes. You can immediately process the top and armholes, if, of course, you are not going to sew in a zipper.

Make a skirt

The skirt-sun on a little girl looks just perfect. It can be on the floor or very short, in the style of dude. Only two measurements are needed - the waist circumference and the length of the skirt itself.

Important! What to sew? A brilliant invention of designers - tulle. It keeps its shape perfectly - no need to starch. You can cut as you like, it costs nothing to cut several layers at once.

The template is best done in advance:

Calculate the construction, the radius of the notch - divide the waist circumference by 6.28.
Draw a circle with such a radius on the sheet.
Add to the radius the length of the product.
Draw a second circle from the same center - you get a ring.
Cut out several layers of tulle - they can be the same, but you can make frills of different lengths.

Your further actions depend on what the top is made of:

Materials such as supplex or knitwear stretch perfectly, so you can just sew the skirt first on the elastic, and then the whole structure. - to the bodice.
If the material is not so remarkably stretched, you can’t do without lightning. It is best to sew it in the middle of the back, from the top to the skirt. In this case, the neck is processed after the zipper takes its place.
