Making a pattern and sewing a women's lace bodysuit

For a long time, the bodysuit was considered a type of women's clothing such as underwear. But given the advantages, good fit on the figure, it gradually became multifunctional - the emergence of other varieties was noted. Stores offer a variety of options for this type of clothing. But you can show your imagination and, with some effort, sew an exclusive model of bodysuit at home. How to sew a bodysuit with your own hands will be discussed in detail in this article.

Selecting fabric for sewing

The fabric for sewing a bodysuit is selected taking into account the features of the planned model. You can make it yourself in the following types:

• shirts or blouses (combined materials are suitable for sewing: top - knitwear, regular fabric, bottom - elastic);
• golf (a fabric similar to that used for turtlenecks is used);
• underwear (satin, thin cotton, silk, lace, translucent fabrics are used).

The fittings used to make fasteners are full of buttons and hooks. Specialized stores offer a wide range.

Taking measurements for a bodysuit

Any sewing requires a thorough measurement, which, if done correctly, can provide half the success of the work. If the question of how to sew a lace bodysuit has been pending for a long time, certain rules should be followed.

To create a pattern for a women's bodysuit, it is enough to determine the following dimensions:

• underbust circumference;
• chest circumference;
• waist circumference;
• hip circumference.

Additionally, measurements are taken:

• armhole depth;
• back length (base of the neck - waist);
• hip height;
• half neck girth;
• shoulder length;
• front waist length;
• waist length (measured from the chest);
• chest height.

Features of the basic cut

When cutting a basic garment, there are a number of features that you should pay attention to:

• If you plan to use non-elastic fabric for sewing a bodysuit, the basic pattern is made taking into account small allowances, the size of which is influenced by the selected model.
• In the case of a low-elastic fabric selected for sewing, no allowances are made in the base pattern, and the dimensional characteristics are reduced (up to 5%).
• The choice was made on highly elastic fabric - the dimensional values ​​are reduced (by 15%). When drawing the body parts, the sizes should be recalculated downwards (this is affected by the stretchability of the fabric).

Building the foundation

The beginning of independent work on sewing a product is to create a pattern. A drawing is made, which is then transferred to the fabric. Simple and complex patterns for bodysuits (for example, a body corset according to Müller) can be found on the Internet or made independently. This requires sewing skills. Knowing the subtleties and nuances, applying them in the work on constructing patterns, the desired result will be achieved. However, there are some details that are worth focusing on.

Back cutout on the bodysuit pattern

Algorithm of actions:

1. Divide the auxiliary back straight line into four parts.
2. The middle division point is left in place, the upper and lower fabric is raised.
3. They are drawing a curve.
4. The lower part of the shelf is cut off and glued with tape end-to-end to the drawing of the back.
5. After this, the length of the saddle is measured according to the drawing.

Shelf cutout on bodysuit pattern

You will need:

1. Divide the auxiliary straight line of the shelf in half.
2. On the perpendicular constructed from the obtained point, mark off the required segment.
3. Connect the top point of the perpendicular with the deflection.

Pattern of a classic bodysuit for women

The word "bodysuit" has several meanings (for example, cross-body, a type of bag). The main one is tight-fitting clothing. The classic bodysuit model is based on "fitting". It is aesthetically attractive in appearance, comfortable to wear in everyday life, and can be used for sports and dancing. It is made on the basis of a pattern, the construction of which requires measurements prepared in advance.

Attention should be paid to the production of the drawing of the bra cup (detailed descriptions can be found in the magazine "Burda"). In this case, it is necessary to decide on the choice of model. To clarify the size of the upper part of this type of clothing, represented by a bra, you should pay attention to the dimensions of the chest circumference and chest circumference (under the chest). The cup size is determined using simple calculations: the value of the "chest circumference" minus the value of the "under the chest circumference".

The pattern of the front part of the bra (the bar that connects the cups) is made taking into account the lining, made using non-stretch fabric, while taking into account the need and stability of the bones. In order to adjust the bra in the bodysuit, it is recommended to use ready-made straps.

To simplify the independent construction of pattern parts, you can watch a video on the Internet, read the relevant instructions, and then follow the specific advice of specialists, while focusing on certain points.

To construct the back cutout, it is necessary to divide the auxiliary straight back taking into account four parts. The middle point remains, and the upper one is raised observing a distance of 0.7 cm, the lower one - 1 cm. The curve is formed. The lower fragment is cut off (4-5 cm), the resulting part is glued tightly to the drawing of the "back" itself. Next, measure the doubled distance "waist-bottom" (saddle), it should be equal to the size obtained when taking measurements.

The auxiliary line on the shelf is divided into two equal parts. For this, a perpendicular is constructed, about 7 cm is set aside on it. The upper point is connected to the place of the deflection.

How to make a bodysuit

To sew a bodysuit, special equipment is used, designed for working with knitted fabrics. You can use a regular overlock (for the purpose of using a special overlock stitch) or a sewing machine with double needles, which have special needle plates for performing various stitches (among the options for zigzag stitches).

1. The pattern prepared on paper is cut out and transferred to the fabric. It is easier to start the sewing process by processing the darts of the bodysuit.
2. After completing the work, you should iron the vertical darts (from the edges to the middle), and the horizontal ones - from top to bottom.
3. The front of the bodysuit is gathered.
4. After which the shoulder seams and sleeves are processed.
5. Sewing together the side seams of the bodysuit.
6. The seams are being processed.
7. To prevent stretching, the tape must be elastic.
8. Particular attention should be paid to the processing of the side seams on the panties.
9. To finish the insides near the leg and top cutouts, the panties use elastic bands, which are sewn on from the inside.
10. The bodysuit gusset is complemented with a lining.
11. The panties are fastened at a pre-designated area using hooks and Velcro.
12. The necessary fittings can be purchased in advance in the store.
13. For bodysuits, a stand-up collar is usually used.
14. The cut out piece is applied to the neck and finished with piping.
15. When sewing in the sleeves, pay attention to the alignment of the control marks applied to the pattern.
16. When sewing and joining the sewn-on cuffs, the finishing line is not laid. The clasp is made on the sleeve along the edged edges.

How to sew sleeves

Step-by-step algorithm of actions:

1. The sleeve is folded in half.
2. Find the middle of the armhole (the highest part of the shoulder).
3. The middle is applied to the shoulder with the right side of the sleeve overlapping the right side of the back-front
4. The edges of the sleeve are applied to the edge of the sleeve sewn on the front and back.
5. The fabric is evenly distributed and sewn in with a zig-zag stitch.

A similar process is used to sew bodysuits, practical clothing made from high-quality, natural, hypoallergenic fabrics for little girls and boys. A bodysuit is a comfortable item of clothing for a child, loved by parents for its comfort when used.

A bodysuit for women is a "highlight" of clothing. Representing a combination of the top (bra, tank top, T-shirt, shirt) and panties, it looks original and is popular.
