Pattern of a summer dress with a jersey bodice and straps

Knitwear does not require special care, the material stretches, fits well on any figure, does not stick out (there is no need for additional edge processing). When making knitwear, use:

• viscose (artificial thread obtained from wood cellulose);
• cotton (a natural material made from plant fibers);
• lycra (cellulose fibers treated with acetic anhydride);
• silk (obtained from the cocoons of the silkworm);
• elastane (synthetic fibers);
• woolen twisted threads obtained from animal hair.

To sew a beautiful dress with patterns and a knitted bodice and straps for a girl, you need cotton or silk fabric. Before boring, measure the girth:

• breasts;
• waist;
• hips;
• the length of the dress from the waist.

Sewing a summer dress with straps according to the instructions has the following features:

• the fabric is laid out on a flat surface;
• draw the outline of the future dress on it using a simple pencil or chalk (for convenience, you can make a pattern on paper and trace it);
• cut out the resulting contours from the fabric;
• the pattern is positioned so that there are decorative elements at the bottom of the dress;
• no allowances are needed for the front neckline and armholes;
• allowances at the bottom of the dress should be 2-3 cm.

For the straps you will need a ribbon (the width depends on personal preference, but not less than 1 cm). The product is stitched with an elastic seam using an overlock:

• stitch the side seams, process the allowances, fold and stitch the hem;
• if you plan to make a lining, then baste and stitch the lining fabric, processing the allowances at the bottom;
• the armhole and neckline of the dress are finished with an overlock stitch, and a braid is sewn on;
• the hem of the dress is finished with tape;
• sew the tape to the bodice, having first measured the required amount.

The classic summer sundress is ready, it is easy to sew yourself, without the help of a professional.

• the greater the angle of inclination, the narrower the sleeve;
• The width of the sleeve is affected by the depth of the armhole.

Sequence of cutting and sewing

The cutting and sewing of the finished product begins only after all the details have been prepared, including those intended for finishing the product: collar, pockets, cuffs. There is a standard sequence of cutting and assembly that must be followed when sewing.

Neckline

Before you start creating a neckline pattern, calculate its width for each of the parts. The front neckline and the back neckline have different depths and widths. They are cut out separately, then connected and sewn to the already assembled parts in this form. Separate formulas are used to calculate the depth and width of different parts.

Bust dart

The bust darts are transferred from paper to fabric. They are stitched before assembling the garment itself, i.e. before joining the dress along the side lines and shoulders. To construct the dart, you need to know:

• armhole height;
• chest width (measured twice using two different parameters).

It is more convenient to construct such a dart in a side seam or armhole.

Front shoulder line

To construct the front shoulder line:

• a dotted line is drawn from the upper point of the left side of the bust dart to the upper point of the division of the auxiliary line of the back armhole;
• 8 cm are measured along it;
• From this same dotted line, another line is drawn downwards, 2 cm long, at a right angle.

Draw the front shoulder line.

Back armhole line

To design the armhole line of the back, four key points are determined on the drawing. The armhole line is drawn through these points.

Draw the armhole line of the back

When creating a pattern, take into account that there may be losses in the width of the back. To preserve it, a separate segment is set aside to the right of the armhole line.

Before cutting the product, the style is determined, a large amount of paper is stocked up to apply the drawing to it, which is then transferred to the fabric. The complexity of constructing the drawing and subsequent cutting largely depends on the type of fabric, the idea of ​​the seamstress. The dress is cut, observing the typical sequence of cutting. Even a novice seamstress can handle this.
