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.

Important! A beginner needs to know that before taking measurements, you should put on the underwear that you plan to wear with the product being manufactured. Remember that there is a volume-changing effect, which is provided by modern tights (reduce volume by 1-3 cm) and bras (add volume). You need to stand with your back straight, do not slouch. To understand and analyze the features of your physique, you can compare standard women's measurements and the parameters taken.

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.

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".

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).
