Modeling a sundress with an open back
Modeling a pattern of a sundress dress with an open back is done in four stages. First, the shelf is cut out. To do this, you will need to fold the material in half widthwise with the face inward.
Please note! When folding the material, the edges must be strictly parallel to the edges of the table and to each other.
It is necessary to leave seam allowances along the side and shoulder cuts, while the neck and armholes are left without allowances. All the resulting parts are sewn together.
Boho sundress in ethnic style
To sew a boho-style sarafan with your own hands, patterns need to be made after choosing the style, material and taking measurements. The peculiarity of such products is that after sewing they are ideal for two sizes at once, for example, 48 and 50.
To sew a sarafan in ethnic style, you will need a plain dress fabric and several ribbons with various patterns. Their length should be at least three meters.
It won't be difficult to construct a pattern. If you have no experience, special master classes will help, of which there are many now.
When constructing a pattern, special attention should be paid to the sleeve cutting. It is best to take a regular one-seam pattern, trace its armhole and widen the lower cut on each side by 15 centimeters.
Cut out the sleeve on the fabric and be sure to leave allowances. As a result, you should get 4 parts: the back, the front and two sleeves.
Once the details are ready, you can start sewing the garment. The darts, shoulder, side cuts and sleeves are stitched. The lower cuts and neck are processed. After the sarafan is ready, you can start finishing it. The ribbon is sewn to the lower edge and must be ironed. The remaining ribbons are added in exactly the same way. You can also decorate the sleeves of the garment.
What to wear with
Stylists recommend combining boho-style sundresses with any clothes, shoes and accessories. After all, this is where the whole chic of the style lies.
You can give free rein to your imagination and create completely experimental and unique images. But it is important to remember that all elements of the image must be carefully thought out in advance. All clothes and items of the image must be combined with each other, otherwise you will get an absurd look.
For example, stylists categorically do not allow wearing elegant high-heeled shoes in combination with jewelry during the day, just as it is not recommended to wear costume jewelry and flat shoes to an evening celebration. But do not forget that there are always exceptions to the rules. When all the elements of the image are so thought out and combined with each other that not a single item falls out of the image, then everything is permissible. After all, it is the combination of completely different things that is the peculiarity and highlight of the boho style.
There is nothing more feminine than a flowing boho sundress. Its multi-layered skirts, ruffles, frills and abundance of flounces will not leave anyone indifferent. This particular wardrobe item will become the ideal base for creating numerous images regardless of the season. Boho outfits can be multi-layered, combined with pants, combined with oriental style, as well as with non-trivial items. Every fashionista's wardrobe must have clothes in the boho style, especially since sewing a sundress yourself will not be difficult, even for those who do not have much experience in sewing.
