How to sew a straight dress with your own hands

Straight-cut dresses are comfortable to wear, easy to sew and easy to combine with various accessories. What you will see for yourself.

A dress with an elastic band with open shoulders is called a "young lady-peasant." It is feminine, with a twist and is perfect for lovers of country or boho style. The model will look good on the beach and at the party. The main thing is to choose the right length, fabric and jewelry, which can serve as a belt, flower or beads.

Make 2 large rectangles for the dress and 2 small rectangles for the sleeves.

Start sewing:

• On paper, draw a rectangle measuring 7x25 cm, round the edge and cut it out. The armhole pattern is ready.
• Circle the template on all the details and cut.
• Sew in front and back. Stitch the sleeves along the armhole line.
• On the upper cut, make a hem in the form of a drawstring, where you pass the elastic. You can also sew elastic on your sleeves.
• Process the hem of the bottom of the dress and sleeves.

A straight knit dress will not look boring if the neckline is made wave-like, add a little drapery, and emphasize the waist with a narrow belt. Walking around the city, you will definitely attract attention.

1. Remake the details of the pattern. Make the length as you wish.
2. The lower sections of the parts are not processed, therefore, allowances are not needed.
3. Open the one-piece front with a hem and a back with a bend, as well as 2 sleeves, a hem for a neck and a belt 7 cm wide and 173-189 cm long.
4. Before folding along the midline inside out and align the marked marks to create a crease. Lay a stitch 1 cm long.
5. Stitch the neck to the back and make shoulder seams.
6. Stitch sleeves in the armholes, and after a single line, sew side seams and seams on the sleeves.
7. Sew a belt.

This model is universal and dimensionless. Sewn from a thin easily draped knitted fabric with elastane 2.30 cm long and 150 cm wide.

• Reshape the details of the pattern, just do not forget about the increase of 1.5 cm for bending the bottom and to the seams.
• On the fabric, reveal the front and back part with a fold, 2 stitches for drawstring 5 cm wide and 55-63 cm long and the front and back neck stitches 4 cm wide.
• Fold the neck stitches in half along the inside inwards and iron them, then pin them to the cuts of the front and back necks, aligning the open slices of the stitches with the edges of the allowances and stitch them.
• Bend the bottom and side cuts.
• Iron the longitudinal sections of the lining for the drawstring by 1 cm and stitch it on the belt.
• Transfer the longitudinal lines of the stitches on the front and back with stitch stitches to the front side, chop them and sew them.
• Push the elastic band into the drawstring.

There is another example of sewing a direct dress from a single piece of fabric - this is a model with a smell.

We need a rectangle equal to the two lengths of the future dress, that is, the left half will be the back, and the right half will be in front. Width depends on the length of the sleeves and the semi-girth of the neck.

In the center of the rectangle, draw a conditional line, where measure along the edges, for example, 35 cm for the shoulders and 20 cm for the neck. On the right side, draw a triangular notch and cut the fabric, cut it out.

Try on the dress, forming a smell. Sew two stitches and sew the belt.

The adjacent straight silhouette with soft folds at the waist and pockets was to the taste of our grandmothers, but relevant in our time.

From a wool velor, open the bodice of the shelf and back, the details of the sleeves, the hem of the back of the back, the details of the skirt and 2 burlap pockets.

Remove burlap pockets from the lining. You will also need shoulder pads, a 45 cm zipper and a large button.

1. Stitch back details.
2. On the back panel of the skirt, make the middle seam above the transverse mark, sweep the fold below the mark.
3. Stitch breast tucks on the front parts. Also lay folds on the skirt and bodice of the front and back.
4. Stitch the top of the back to the back of the skirt, and the top of the front to the front.
5. Perform shoulder and side seams, leaving room for pockets. Stitch your pockets.
6. Stitch the zippers to the right selection. The teeth should be directed towards the bend of the pick.
7. Grind to the back of the neck.
8. Fold the bottom.
9. Sew the edge of the right hem to the length of the zipper. Chip the right and left shelves in place and stitch them to the bottom edge. Stitch the second tape of the clasp to the left shelf.
10. Stitch the elbow tucks on the sleeves and complete the seams. Bend the bottom and stitch the sleeves, fitting them around the steps. Sew on the shoulder pads.
11. Cloth the button and sew.

As you can see, you can update your wardrobe without any special financial costs and loss of time for complex patterns.
