Beautiful patterns of wrap skirts: sew them yourself

In order not to use trousers in every look, it is worth considering other options that will not be inferior in comfort to the "men's thing" in the women's wardrobe. "Burda" offers a lot of options for wrap skirts that look beautiful, are easy to wear and original in their use. In addition, the unique type of fixation makes the image lighter and more romantic.

Advantages

Many fashionistas claim that this option resembles a regular apron. But they do not take into account fashion trends, which, on the contrary, extol this type of cut. Wrap skirts are a unique wardrobe detail that has many advantages over standard analogues:

• An original cut that can be interpreted in completely different ways.
• You can change the connection point each time. You can tie the parts in front or on the side.
• Comfortable and practical, so they do not restrict movement.
• Suitable for almost any figure. Especially if the fabric is chosen correctly from the start. For example, staple, thanks to its texture, corrects minor defects.
• Suitable for any occasion - a walk, work, a restaurant.

The main thing is that when you gain extra pounds, you don’t need to alter the garment, as the cut allows it to “increase or decrease” in accordance with your figure parameters.

Popular styles

Wrap skirts have several styles that are especially relevant at any time. The type of style is determined by the shape of the cut of the base itself. The most popular styles are:

• The summer beach version is distinguished by its long, light fabric and colorful colors.
• Tulip. A type of pattern that emphasizes the roundness of the hips and smooths out figure flaws.
• The straight cut is relevant for office workers. At the same time, the image has a softening detail - a smell.
• The A-line skirt is considered a categorical style - not suitable for overweight or short women.
• The sun skirt is another beach, casual and romantic cut option that suits any look.
• The flared bottom is a unique model that amazes with its cut shape. Suitable for creating any image.
• Half-sun. The product should have a medium or mini length. A very fashionable motif for everyday use.
• A wrap-around shorts skirt is a visual deception that attracts attention. In general, these are mini-length shorts that are covered in front by a wrap-around skirt.

Each style has its own distinctive features and nuances.

Wrap skirt option, the bottom is decorated with an angled pattern

A straight, strict skirt is usually designed with an angle down. Additionally, the hem in such models is usually asymmetrical. Such an element suggests that the upper corner “falls out” of the composition. A minor compositional element of this type makes the product more interesting, attractive, playful.

The length of the item can be completely different. For the office, it is worth choosing a medium one, and for walks or a trip to the beach, a mini one will do.

Drawing of a pattern for a skirt with side seams and a rounded wrap

To add elegance to the product, and further emphasize the hip and waist line, it is worth choosing an option with side seams. Additionally, the model can be decorated with a semicircular wrap in front.

To sew a product where the base seams are located on the sides and the front of the connection shelf is rounded, you need to use the following pattern drawing:

A slight rounding makes the model more elegant, slightly revealing the legs. Often designers drape the semi-rounded part.

A-line wrap skirt

Among all the wrap skirt options, the trapeze is considered simple to sew, but quite capricious in terms of choosing a figure. This option is definitely not suitable for plump and petite girls. But this style looks very impressive.

Additionally, the seam where the fabric overlaps is usually decorated with bright fittings - large buttons of a contrasting color, metal rivets, a plastic zipper with huge teeth.

Layout plan for the pattern

A wrap skirt, the pattern of which is initially incorrectly prepared, will not fit the figure - it will stick out, restrict movement, and look ridiculous. To do everything correctly, you need to follow these instructions:

1. You need to lay out the paper on a flat surface. Make a sketch of the model you like with approximate parameters.
2. Next, you need to take measurements, writing down each parameter.
3. The measurements taken must be transferred to paper, making parallel notes with the size data.
4. Cut out all the details from paper in full size.

At this stage, you can't rush to get all the details right. If there is an error somewhere, it will be revealed later and will significantly affect the appearance.

Construction of the pattern and cutting

The pattern for a wrap skirt can have several complex moments, which consist of making darts. How to construct a pattern to make the correct cutting from fabric:

1. Usually the pattern blank consists of 3 identical parts (skirt, back, front). Each such part is divided into 2 more identical parts.
2. It is recommended to form darts on the front parts. Divide each half in half again. It is advisable to step back 1 cm from the center towards the seam. Draw a straight line about 8 cm long.
3. On the halves of the back of the product, perform the same actions, but the length of the line here will be about 12 cm.

When transferring the pattern to the fabric. The dart lines are cut and then swept. Sewing according to such a scheme is simple and fast.

How to make the perfect pattern for any figure

A wrap skirt, the pattern of which is prepared without using measurements, is a sun. The wrap itself is usually fixed with ties. A simple version of making this type of skirt:

1. You need to prepare a piece of fabric that is at least 1.5 m wide and at least 1.5 m long.
2. You need to fold the canvas in half. Then in half again.
3. Cut off the obtuse corner - this will be the place for the waist.
4. Round off the bottom and hem of the future product.

There is no need to sew anything here, as there are no darts, just finish the edges of the fabric. You also need to sew on the tie strips. The skirt is ready to use.

Processing technology

To make the skirt look attractive and not to unravel after the first wear or wash, you need to take into account the processing technology:

• It is recommended to overcast all cuts that were made during the preparation of the pattern.
• You need to hem the skirt with a hidden seam to remove unattractive edges.
• When sewing the pieces together, be sure to carefully iron the inner seams.

A detailed description of such actions is not required, since each model is unique in its own way, and, therefore, the patterns need to be processed differently.

How to sew with your own hands

A wrap-around half-sun skirt with ties is considered simple in terms of sewing; its pattern is almost completely similar to a sun skirt. Quick sewing is done as follows:

1. Prepare a piece of fabric where the width is 70 cm and the length is 1.2-1.5 m.
2. Fold the fabric several times.
3. Cut the corner under the waist.
4. Make the bottom semicircular.
5. Sew on strips that will serve as ties for the skirt.
6. Process the edges of textiles.

An easy version of making using the “half-sun” technique takes little time.

Is it possible to sew without using patterns?

There are models that even a novice seamstress can make. A regular straight beach skirt is an elementary type that does not require cutting. How to sew a wrap skirt without a pattern:

1. You need to prepare a piece of fabric. The length of the piece will correspond to the length of the skirt.
2. The length of the strip canvas must be at least 1.5 m.
3. You just need to process the edges of the fabric and sew on a belt-strip, which will become ties for forming the wrap.

In this situation, there is no need to cut. The main thing is to carefully finish the parts that will make up the product.

Who is it suitable for?

When you open any magazine, you can be surprised at how perfectly the models' looks are selected. To look like "glossy beauties", you need to choose clothes that match your body type:

• For full-figured ladies, straight, sun and half-sun styles are ideal.
• For tall and thin people - trapezoidal cut, tulip.
• A straight cut with an angular hem is considered a universal type.

It is also worth paying attention to the presence of drapery, which can hide figure flaws and other decoration of the item.

How to wear

A stylish image is formed not only from fashionable things, but also from their correct use. In general, this version of the product is considered a universal option for combination with any fabric and top model - a lot depends on the skirt itself.

Step-by-step and detailed algorithm for creating the perfect image:

1. Evaluate the style, texture, and color palette.
2. It is recommended to use blouses with a laconic cut, made from light fabrics in one color palette.
3. You shouldn’t overload your look with massive accessories – the main “feature” should be your shoes.

Creating the perfect ensemble also depends on the ability to combine colors and styles.

Even the "inexperienced hand" of a novice seamstress can create a real masterpiece if you use clear and suitable master classes for work. Patterns of such skirts are not difficult, it is more difficult to decide on the style, since the choice here is huge.
