Hello! We have to sew a dress with open shoulders, the style of which is similar to the dress in this photo. And today we will be modeling the basic design of the dress to get the off shoulder dress pattern.

The dress shown in the photo is made of jersey. However, working with knitwear is quite problematic, so we will make changes to the design of the dress by adding raised seams, on one of which we will make a cut to ensure ease of movement in the dress, so we can do without knitwear.

Dress modeling
To begin with, we will prepare the basic patterns of the dress and one-seam sleeve with allowances for a loose fit for the adjacent silhouette. Let's transfer the contours of all the parts onto a blank sheet of paper. And on all parts we will mark control lines and points.

So, there are no shoulder seams in our future product, the neckline cut is deepened and smoothly transitions into the upper cut of the sleeves. By deepening the neckline, we must ensure that the upper cut of the dress fits completely to the body. They will help us with this additional chest darts, which reflect the anatomical structure of the body, in our case this is: the concavity of the body in the area from the jugular cavity to the protruding point of the chest - dart No. 1. If the neckline is deep enough, then it is necessary to take into account the concave area above the base of the chest - dart No. 6.
To construct additional darts, we need to measure the amount of concavity, as well as the radius of the chest (how to take these measurements, read ). We will construct a circle of the resulting radius on the shelf; the center of the circle coincides with the center of the protruding point of the chest (VPG).

Now let's build an auxiliary straight line by connecting the points of the VTG and the top of the neck angle.

The constructed straight line will intersect the circle at some point. On both sides of this point along the line of the circle we need to set aside half the found value of dart No. 1. We connect the resulting points with straight lines to the top of the neck angle and to the VTG.

For a deep neckline, it is necessary to take into account the concavity above the base of the chest, but this dart is laid directly on the fitting. In the drawing, this dart is built together with the shoulder chest dart, only its solution is laid along the line of the circle.

To build new neck cuts, we need to transfer all chest darts to any front cut. To do this, we will build an auxiliary line from the VTG point to the cut of the shelf (in our example, to the side cut).

Let's cut the front part along the marked line and move the part apart along the cut line, closing the dart in the shoulder seam and dart No. 1.

At the desired level, draw a new cut for the front neckline, which will intersect the armhole line at an arbitrary point B.

Let's measure the length of the armhole from the end shoulder point to point B. We will put exactly the same value on the back armhole from the end shoulder point and place point B1.

From point B1 to the midline, draw a straight or smooth concave line, maintaining a right angle at the midline of the back. (If the style of the back neckline is designed in a V-shape, then in this case the neckline cut is drawn at an angle).

Let's cut our parts along the new neck lines.

Now let's transfer the chest dart into the neckline cut. Let's again draw an auxiliary straight line from the VTG point to the neck line. The position of the chest dart determines the shape of the relief seams, therefore, in accordance with your desire, this straight line can be parallel to the line of the middle of the front,

or is inclined relative to the midline.

Let's cut the part of the shelf along the intended line and transfer the solution of the chest dart into the neckline cut.

If you have an additional waist dart on the shelf, then its solution must be moved to the side seam of the back and shelf, dividing the solution equally.

The hem of our dress has a pencil skirt style, so we will narrow the front and back along the bottom line (read how to correctly perform this method in this article).

Let's draw relief cuts with smooth lines and cut the shelf and back along these lines.

To process the cut on the shelf, we will use a one-piece facing, the length of which depends on the length of the product itself; the width of the facing is 4-6cm. The facing itself can be built directly on the fabric when cutting parts.


Sleeve modeling
The top edge of our sleeve has been cut off, so we need to draw a new top edge of the sleeve. Let's measure the armholes on the back and front,
The sleeve pattern is ready.


Neck facing pattern
To finish the neckline we will use a straight hem. Its pattern can be built directly on the details of the back, front and sleeves, drawing its lower section parallel to the upper sections of all parts at a distance of 4-6 cm. After all the main parts are cut out of the fabric, the facing is cut off on the paper parts along the intended lines. We connect the resulting parts of the facing along the side sections and get one part of the facing.

This completes the modeling of the dress.

Looking at glossy magazines, sometimes you feel a feeling of regret that a dress you really like from a fashion show or from the red carpet, even if you can try it on in a boutique, can only be worn to a party in your dreams. Unfortunately, this dress will remain an unrealizable dream if you do not arm yourself with a basic pattern and model exactly the same model.

Modeling stages and rules

The design process begins with a technical drawing and modification of the top or bottom of the main pattern:

  • the selected model is divided into correctly constructed parts according to the most accurately taken measurements;
  • body features are taken into account;
  • allowances are made for seams or loose fitting, depending on the chosen style and material.

The modeling ends with cutting and sewing.

Modeling the bodice by transferring darts

The first step towards modifying the dress is to move the upper chest dart. There are many ways to transfer, for example, into the armhole cut, into the waist or neckline, into the middle of the front, or into the drapery.

To do this, you need to outline its new position so that it is directed to the highest point of the chest. Further along the lines, the pattern is cut and the old dart is closed, revealing a new one.

Below are common options for transferring a bust dart.

To transfer the dart in the shoulder seam to two soft folds, draw two lines on the pattern (in the example indicated by a dotted line) at a distance of 2 cm. Connect the top of the dart with the drawn lines. Close the dart by cutting the pattern along the lines.

Here is an example of a dress with a cutout on the shoulders, where the dart is transferred to the neckline. Then the sleeve is completed and the skirt is lengthened.

Creating draperies

It is a little more difficult to transfer the dart into the drapery. This is done like this:

  1. On wallpaper or a piece of paper, use a pencil to trace the outline of the unfolded front bodice pattern.
  2. From the tops of the two bottom and top right darts, draw lines to the left shoulder. Close the darts, leaving only the left breast piece uncovered.
  3. Having moved the darts apart, trace a new outline of the bodice, smoothly connecting the top points of the left shoulder.

You can translate both darts at once:

  1. On the unfolded front bodice, apply shaped bold lines and drapery direction lines.
  2. On the left half, move the tops of the darts to the upper end of the shaped line (i.e. F) and circle their new position.
  3. On the right half, raise the top of the second waist dart to the top of the chest dart.
  4. First cut out the pattern along the outline, then cut it along the drawn lines.

The shaded areas on the pattern are fabric allowances when cutting, which are needed to create draperies.

Swing collar

A beautiful drape at the neckline can be created in many ways, but they start with closing the dart.

  • Measure the length of the shoulder seam, then draw the shaped lines. Cut them, leaving 1 cm uncut along the shoulder line.
  • Expand the resulting parts, draw a horizontal line from the highest point of the shoulder line.
  • Create a one-piece lapel.

A few more examples of modeling a “swing” collar.

Modeling a fluffy dress

A short dress with a voluminous skirt and an asymmetrical cutout on the bodice will allow you to be a queen at any celebration.

  1. On the front bodice, move the left breast dart to the side seam, and the right one to the waist line.
  2. Move the left dart at the waist 2 cm to the center.
  3. Reduce the shoulder length to 7 cm and make the neckline higher.
  4. Make the armholes 2 cm deeper.
  5. Draw a petal-shaped cutout and cut the pattern along the modeled lines.
  6. On the back, as on the front, shorten the shoulder and deepen the armhole.
  7. Draw a triangular cutout, leaving 23 cm along the middle line.

For the skirt, draw a rectangle of the required length, the width of which will be equal to two hip circumferences. If the width of the fabric is not enough, cut the skirt out of two pieces.

The petticoat consists of two parts:

  • 1st – top, 25 cm long and one and a half waist circumference wide;
  • 2nd – bottom, width equal to two hip circumferences.

The entire length of the petticoat is made 2 cm shorter than the skirt.

Constructing loose dress patterns

A loose-fitting dress is an option that is created in a hurry, because it is suitable for a beginner in sewing. It does not require a zipper, it simply leaves an unstitched area along the back for sewing on a button.

  • Mark the back with a dotted line and spread it 12-14 cm. The splendor of the folds will depend on the angle of inclination.
  • Round the hem line and make the armhole and neckline deeper.
  • On the front of the dress, move the chest dart to the waist. The front should be a little more flared, so add 4 cm to the bottom line of the back and front.
  • The side lines of the two parts are straight segments.

If you want a dress that is short in front and long in back, on the back pattern created above, measure the desired length in the middle of the fold and draw rounded lines to the side seams.

Modeling a short dress - the sun is similar to a real flower, as it allows you to create volume with many coattails.

Having drawn a rectangle, create a pattern for the front and back with a shoulder length of about 5 cm. Cut out the parts with a fold.

Dress from Dior

An unusual fitted dress from the catwalk, decorated with a cord and with two pockets, will appeal to many.

When modeling this dress, you need to take into account some nuances:

  1. The relief from the neckline smoothly extends to the back through the side seam.
  2. There is a zipper inserted in the side sections.
  3. The sleeve is made with two seams, one of them will hide the cord.
  4. Sleeve cuffs are stitched. If the fabric is very dense, the sleeve flap on the inside can be made from lining fabric.
  5. Patch pockets.
  6. If the fabric frays, immediately process the cuts, for example with an overlocker.
  7. The cord is sewn by hand, with hidden stitches, on both sides.

The principle of modeling a dress with dropped shoulders, which we will look at in this lesson, is loved by designers when creating elegant feminine models or models for special occasions. The dropped shoulder line allows you to literally “sculpt” an elegant and sophisticated silhouette that emphasizes the shoulder line, creating a luxurious look. Dresses with dropped shoulders are often made from fabrics embroidered with sequins, beads or bugles, or lace fabrics. Let's look at modeling a dress pattern with dropped shoulders using this spectacular model as an example.

Advice! Use the modeling principle presented in this article to create your own dress styles by changing the width and configuration of the straps.

Modeling a dress pattern with dropped shoulders is done according to. We suggest you use a ready-made one, which you can download completely free of charge. No sleeve pattern required.

To model a dress style with dropped shoulders, copy the back separately from the basic dress pattern and the front completely separately.

Dress back modeling

The length of the dress from the waist is about 70 cm.

Draw a horizontal armhole line to the right, mark the lower point of the armhole with the letter A. Along the armhole line from point A, put segment AB to the right = (1/4 Bust circumference minus 1/20 Bust circumference). Connect point B to the extreme point of the shoulder - point C. Construct the sleeve configuration as shown in Fig. 1. From point C, set down 5 cm (the descent of the shoulder is not constant and depends on the size and your preferences), then 8-10 cm (the width of the strap).

Along the back, determine the desired neckline depth using a measuring tape. From the neckline of the back, set 13-15 cm down and 5 cm up (the width of the strap along the back). Construct the back strap by connecting the marked points.

Cut the back pattern along the waistline, cut off the strap and cut it out separately.

Dress front modeling

On the front pattern, set aside a segment AB of the same length as on the back, build a sleeve configuration. From the extreme point of the shoulder, set down 5 cm, then 8-10 cm. The depth of the neckline in the middle of the front is about 15 cm. Construct the configuration of the right and left straps. Move the waist darts to the side line.

Cut the front pattern along the waistline, cut the front bodice along the modeling lines. Cover the tops of the chest darts on the bodice details with paper and iron the pattern with a slightly heated iron. Transfer the details of the left and right straps onto tracing paper, minus the chest darts, and adjust the configuration of the straps using smooth lines.

From the top of the waist dart of the skirt, lower the perpendicular down to the bottom, cut the front panel of the skirt along the perpendicular into 2 parts.

Details of the cut of the back and front of the dress are shown in Fig. 2. Duplicate the outer parts of the straps with a knitted interfacing. When cutting, do not forget to add seam allowances on all sides of the parts - 1 cm, along the bottom of the product - 3 cm.

IMPORTANT! To process the armholes, cut out facing facings 4 cm wide. To do this, align the back and front along the side seam and re-cut the facings in one piece without a side seam.

The long-awaited summer is about to greet us with heat, sun, and, we hope, such a long-awaited vacation :) At this time, I really want to walk all night long along the sea coast, of course - in a beautiful dress! If you haven’t found a suitable summer new thing in the store - you’re not happy with the price, there’s no suitable size, or you’ve been waiting for a very long time for delivery from the online store, there is a way out - sew the dress yourself! In today's master class we will tell you how to create a dress pattern with elastic on the shoulders, and also together we will sew several options for this unusually comfortable summer women's outfit;)

This loose dress, made of 100% cotton, looks impressive both in the city and on the seaside. It perfectly masks minor figure imperfections, placing emphasis on the chest. Sewing a shoulder-baring dress is indecently simple and even a novice dressmaker can do it! We offer a detailed pattern below.

The main measurement that we will need to take during the drawing process is the circumference of the hips, however, if your chest circumference is larger than the circumference of your hips, be guided by the chest measurement taken.

Constructing a dress pattern

First, you will need to draw a rectangle, the width of which (segment A-B) is equal to the measurement at the hips, multiplied by 1.4 - this is how the increase for folds is laid down. If you plan to make the folds even more magnificent, the hip circumference should be multiplied by 1.6.

The height of the rectangular part is 65 cm - this is the length of the product; from the waist level, the finished dress will have a length of 40 cm.

The length of the frill of the dress is equal to the width of the product (segment A-B), the height of the frill is 12 cm without taking into account seam allowances.

Cutting details

  • Det. 1 (dress) – 1;
  • Det. 2 (frill) – 1.

Seam allowances for the dress are one and a half centimeters, along the short and one long side of the frill of the dress - one and a half centimeters, along the lower and upper edges of the dress and along the top of the frill - two and a half centimeters.

Sewing

Baste the seam vertically on the fabric of the dress. Stitch, finish the edges, iron. Fold the bottom edge of the dress, baste and stitch.

Turn over and stitch the bottom edge of the frill. Then place the frill on the top of the dress fabric, baste along the edge and then sew as one piece.

Fold in the seam allowances along the top edge of the dress and frill, baste and stitch, leaving a small area open for threading the elastic tape. Insert an elastic band two centimeters wide, adjust its length by trying the dress on the model, and stitch the ends. All that remains is to sew the open section of the drawstring, iron the dress and show off your new thing;)

Sewing an original dress with open shoulders with elastic

A loose dress with light ruffles - what could be more romantic in the summer heat? In such a dress, every girl, girl and woman will feel confident and free, no matter whether she goes for a walk around the city or goes to dinner in an expensive restaurant. Many young ladies believe that a dress with a flounce is exclusively a “vacation” item of clothing, however, we assure you that with the right shoes and accessories, such an everyday dress will turn into an elegant one with the wave of a magic wand;)

Dresses with ruffles fit perfectly on hourglass and pear shapes; if you remove the belt, they fit on a not very expressive apple shape. For ladies with an “inverted triangle” figure (that is, those whose shoulders are noticeably wider than their hips), we advise you to adjust the pattern by making, for example, a flounce on one shoulder - such a frill will slightly hide the disproportion and will not overload the upper body.

This dress is no more difficult to sew than the previous one, you just need to take the measurements correctly and create a pattern.

Fabric selection

Dresses with flounces are made from a wide variety of fabrics - not only the composition varies, but also the structure! If you plan to wear the dress in the summer, we recommend that you give preference to thin and light natural fabrics - cotton, natural chiffon or linen. Models with a floor-length skirt look great if they are made of silk or satin. But for warm spring and autumn, you can find a fabric that contains wool with elastic additives, but soft knitwear is also suitable. If you want to be original, sew a dress from thin denim - this option is universal, such a dress can be worn both in summer and on warm days in the off-season.

When sewing a dress with an elastic band with a flounce, be sure to take into account the width of the decorative frill. It should be no less than five and no more than fifteen centimeters for medium-density fabrics, up to twenty centimeters for dense fabrics. With an asymmetrical arrangement of the flounce (on one shoulder, as we recommended sewing for girls with wide shoulders), the dress takes on a more sophisticated, sophisticated look.

Measurements

First, as usual, we take measurements. If the figure is proportional, we take the circumference of the hips as a basis; if not, the most voluminous place on the figure. To this figure we add 15 cm on each side for a loose fit of the product and a beautiful drapery of the folds.

Calculate the length of the product based on personal preferences - this dress looks great in mini, midi, and maxi format.

Be sure to add seam allowances on all cuts! Their width should be within two to three centimeters; the excess can always be cut off.

The pattern can be drawn directly from the fabric, however, if you are not yet confident in yourself, apply it to tracing paper.

Pattern

The finished pattern should look like this:

The measurements on the pattern correspond to size 46.

Sewing

First you need to cut out two rectangular parts, taking into account all seam allowances. Each piece should be overcast and sewn together along the side edges, leaving space at the top for armholes.

After that, we'll move on to cutting out the frill. Having measured over the shoulders, double the resulting figure and add two to three centimeters of seam allowance. The length of the frill increases to form beautiful folds. Its width depends on the density of the fabric - the stiffer it is, the more magnificent it is, and, accordingly, the longer the flounce can be.

Then we sew the short edges of the shuttlecock into a ring and hem it from the bottom, go over the top with an overlocker, and wrap it inward one or two centimeters, forming a drawstring. Sew, leaving 2-3 centimeters for threading the elastic. Inserting the elastic band, sew up the hole. Sew the frill and dress together, taking into account the armholes.

The frill can be decorated with lace or even a piece can be sewn from lace fabric. Play with color and fabric texture. If you want the dress to fit your figure, sew it from knitwear or create darts. There is an even simpler way - simply sew a belt to match the dress;)

What to wear with an elasticated dress

Lush flounces are always associated with femininity and romance. However, you can combine them with almost anything, it all depends on your courage. We recommend trying to wear a formal jacket or biker jacket over the dress!

Shoes can also be anything - classic pumps, flat sandals, sneakers or even boots!

Since the dress itself is quite bright, give preference to “calm”, non-flashy accessories - a thin bracelet, stud earrings and a clutch handbag will be just right!

Such dresses are loved by both young mothers and very young fashionistas. They are comfortable to wear and do not restrict movement at all, so they are optimal for both walks and photo shoots. Create a fashionable family look!;)

Simple summer dress with elastic with frills at the bottom

This off-the-shoulder dress fits well and, most importantly, can be sewn in literally an hour. No complicated patterns or cutting!

You will need to purchase medium-density fabric (preferably made from natural, highly breathable fibers) and regular elastic. Standard measurements are taken - chest or hip circumference (the most voluminous of the parameters is taken as the basis) and the length of the product from the waist level.

The finished off-shoulder dress pattern looks like this:

You can model it directly using the fabric.

Sewing

Fold the prepared piece of fabric in half and cut it, as shown in the diagram above. Sew the dress along the vertical side seams. Along the top and bottom edges, we fold the fabric two centimeters and make drawstrings, into which we will then thread elastic bands.

We prepare the frill - we connect the parts, along the top of the frill, retreating two centimeters, sew a line with stitches of four centimeters and tighten the frill to the width of the lower cut, making folds.

We sew the petticoat. We process the bottom cut of the dress. We attach the petticoat to the dress at a distance of two centimeters below the waist line along the line indicated in the drawing “drawstring for an elastic band”, leaving a hole on the drawstring to insert an elastic band.

We thread the elastic bands into the drawstrings located above the bodice of the dress and along the waistline, sew them together, adjusting the tension, and stitch the holes.

If desired, you can prepare straps from leftover fabric and sew them to the dress, adjusting them to length. Ready!

The full size pattern can be downloaded from the link - https://yadi.sk/i/XQo2uwc_BAET9w

Patterns are given taking into account allowances of 1 cm.

These patterns are printed on a plotter. If you wish, you can break the pattern into A4 sheets for printing on a household printer.

To work, you should prepare the following tools and materials:

  • shirt fabric 1.75 meters (cut width 1.4 meters);
  • elastic band 3 cm wide – 80 cm;
  • sharpened scissors;
  • pins;
  • sewing threads;
  • sewing machine

Cutting details

  • 1 piece with front fold;
  • 1 piece with folded back;
  • 2 sleeve parts;
  • 4 pocket parts;
  • 2 sleeve cuff parts;
  • 1 piece of facing for the top edge of the dress (we will use it for cutting decorative ribbons).

Dress cut

We use only prepared (washed according to the recommendations and ironed) fabric!

We check the direction of the grain thread - one should coincide with the stripes on the fabric.

We lay out long sections of facings, cuffs and decorative ribbons along the stripes. The sleeve pattern on the fabric is laid out in a mirror (right and left sleeve). Alignment marks and center lines of workpieces should be transferred using small notches on the seam allowance from the pattern to the fabric.

Sewing

Stage one: bottom

First, we need to cut the bottom notch on the sides by one centimeter. Next you need to overcast the bottom of the front and back parts clearly between the cuts.

Turn the hem allowance over to the wrong side and iron it thoroughly. We perform a fit on the rounded sections of the cuts - we iron the fabric here.

Then you should stitch the hem along the front side, making bartacks on both sides of the stitch. All that remains is to iron the bottom thoroughly and move on to the next stage.

Stage two: darts

First you need to mark the darts on the fabric according to the pattern (use a soap or chalk).

Then we cut off the dart with pins along the marking line, aligning its sides. We stick pins across the marking line, removing the previous ones that ran along.

Next, you should sew the dart from the side seam up (pins that were inserted almost perpendicular to the stitching will not interfere with the process). At the beginning of the stitch we perform a tack, at the end of the seam we cut off the threads, thread their ends into a needle and hide the tails in the dart. Now you need to iron the dart down, iron the top. That's it for this stage, let's move on to the next one.

Stage three: pockets

We lay out the pockets clearly between the marks. We pin the pockets and side seams with pins, placing the pieces face to face. Next, you need to sew the pockets to the side sections of the shelf and back from one mark to the other, making fastenings at both ends of the line. Then, having removed all the pins, you should overcast the seam allowance and iron it onto the pocket.

Stage four: side seams

Here we need to do the following:

  • pin the side seams and pockets with the right sides facing inward;
  • sew the side and pocket with a continuous stitch;
  • overcast seam allowances;
  • iron the pocket and side seam allowance onto the shelf;
  • place fasteners along the edges of the pocket entrances on the shelf side;
  • place a bartack over the slit at the bottom of the side seam.

Stage five: sleeves and cuffs

At this stage of work we have to:

  • Iron the cuffs in half lengthwise, with the right side of the fabric facing up;
  • iron one long cut allowance of seven millimeters inside out;
  • Sew the cuff to the sleeve along the unironed edge (we cut the parts right sides together);
  • iron the cuff allowance;
  • sew the seam of the sleeve together with the cuff;
  • overcast and iron the seam allowance on the back of the sleeve;
  • bend the cuff along the ironed fold and baste its folded edge to the seam of the cuff stitching;
  • sew the second side of the cuff along the front side exactly along the stitching seam;
  • iron the cuffs.

Having chipped it with pins, we sew the sleeve to the dress along the armhole. We sew and iron on top of the sleeve, and only iron on the bottom of the armhole.

Stage six: facing the top edge

At this stage, you will need to pin the facing in half lengthwise and iron the fold, with the right side of the fabric on top. Next, you need to close the facing into a ring, sewing together short sections, and iron the seam allowances.

After this, overcast one long section of the facing, pinning the facing onto the raw edge of the top of the dress. Place the facing seam in the middle of the back, aligning the control marks along the sleeves and the center of the front.

Next you need to stitch the facing in a circle, the allowance is ironed onto the facing. On the front side, the overcast edge of the facing should be stitched clearly along the stitching seam. The stitching goes from one front armhole through the sleeves and back to the second front armhole. We insert an elastic band into the facing along the entire length, with the exception of the front.

Then you should stitch the elastic band at the ends across the facing, securing all the layers together. Before doing this, it is better to try the dress on a model and choose the optimal tension. All that remains is to close the facing line along the front and iron the seam.

Stage seven: ribbons

Let's start the final work.

Folding the tape lengthwise with the right side inward, we sew all the cuts, leaving a little space in the middle of the long cut for turning the tape inside out. Having ironed the allowances and corners, we turn the ribbon inside out and again carefully go over the seams with the iron. Sew up the remaining hole by hand using a blind stitch. All that remains is to sew the ribbons on the sides at waist level or as straps on the shoulders, leaving the ends hanging freely.

That's it, our lesson has come to an end. We hope you found it informative and useful! 😉

Off-shoulder dress pattern

Dear readers of my site. I have prepared diagrams for you, according to which you can draw a pattern for a dress with bare shoulders. It’s not difficult to understand the diagrams, the scale is simple: 1 cell = 1 centimeter. Dimensions are indicated.

But I draw your attention to the fact that when using ready-made circuits, errors are very likely. Therefore, before cutting a dress from your beautiful fabrics, make a sample. You may want to add (or reduce) the degree of freedom and density of the assemblies. I cut and sewed the dress exactly according to this pattern, and it turned out well. But we are all so different - posture, volume. And tastes.

Patterns for sizes: Bust 84-89 cm and 90-94 cm

for sizes 95-99 cm and 100-106 cm

pictures are clickable and enlarge on mobile devices

If you don't find your size, that's okay. The pattern is easy to construct according to this scheme: All you have to do is determine the width of the pattern based on the chest circumference and increases.

How to cut and sew an off-shoulder dress

First cut out the skirt, having previously “estimated” how much fabric to leave for the bodice and sleeves. The facings will “fit” into the interpattern lunges.

Then - a shelf with a bend, a back with a bend and sleeves (unfolded pattern). Observe the direction of the grain thread, leave allowances of 1 cm for processing.

The order of assembling the dress is as follows:

  1. sew armholes with sleeves
  2. The side seams of the bodice and the sleeves are made with a single stitch. I prefer to use a French seam on thin cotton.
  3. Sew the facing to the top edge of the dress. This is a strip of fabric along the length of the upper border of the bodice and the width “under the elastic” plus 2 cm to sew the facing strip into a ring. Question: “how do you connect the seam joint into a ring? in advance? or when you sew it directly? - Answer: » I first pin the face+face facing to the neckline to pinpoint where the seam will fit. I connect the short sides of the strip with a stitch, then I stitch the looped facing in this way with a single seam. “Question: “It turns out that the fold of this facing is the top of the dress and there are 2 visible lines along the front side of the neckline?” - Answer: “Yes. The fold is the very top border of the dress.”
  4. Insert the elastic band and try it on. Specify the waist line - it should be parallel to the floor.
  5. Make gathers on the skirt (if you are sewing a style with a cut-off waistline), sew it to the bodice. Sew the drawstring from the inside of the dress, closing the stitching seam of the skirt. Excess allowances should be cut off to make the seam flatter. Insert the elastic into the drawstring at the waist Question: “The facing on the waistband is sewn to the seam on one side, and on the other? to the top of the dress? Is there 1 visible line on the front side?” - Answer: “Yes, the drawstring on the waistband is sewn into the seam of the connection between the bodice and the skirt (or to the seam allowance of 1 mm from the stitching). The second section is folded and sewn to the bodice. “on the street” only this one line is visible. Well, and one more, if there are two elastic bands, like mine. "

Constructing an off-shoulder dress pattern

Summer dresses that leave the shoulders open make it possible to get “maximum vitamin D” and an even tan. They are appropriate not only on the beach or on hot days. Among the current catwalk trends, one of the leading places is occupied by the low, strictly horizontal line of the top of the dress, leaving the shoulders and collarbones open. Designers offer a variety of models - they sew in voluminous or narrow sleeves, make the hem line asymmetrical, emphasize the waist or, conversely, hide it behind a loose cut.

Depending on the decor and lines of the waist and skirt, clothes can be bold, tenderly romantic or bohemian and relaxed. Outfits in the spirit of the Russian nobility are popular - with an accentuated waist, a floor-length skirt and smoothly designed sleeves. An evening dress based on the “sheath” or “godet” style, complemented by a low neckline, turns its owner into a luxurious conqueror of a social event. An interesting loose-fitting model is designed on the basis of a men's shirt - the imagination of the masters has no boundaries.

Depending on your preferences, you can choose one of the most current options.

  • A-line mini with a wide flounce and an elastic band along the top line. You need to make sure that the elastic strip inserted into the neckline does not put pressure on your shoulders.
  • Model with thin shoulder straps. For curvy figures who need extra support.
  • Long dresses made of flowing thin fabric. The style looks beautiful on chintz and chiffon (only a small increase is needed for a loose style).
  • Models that diverge towards the bottom, hiding imperfections in the legs, a large belly or “heavy” hips. The transverse neckline and open shoulders attract attention.
  • A combination of a defined waist and a circle skirt. A beautiful and feminine option for summer days; fabrics with a natural base are well suited for it - linen, cotton, staple.
  • Shirt dresses are a bold and daring silhouette and trendy design.

Most styles are easy to sew and open up space for imaginative decoration and use of accessories. Outfits with a transverse low neckline are suitable for owners with sharp, “sculpted” and sloping, feminine shoulders. They visually lengthen the neck, correct the proportions of the upper body and hide the volume on the hips. The model with open shoulders and elastic is suitable for summer walks in the park, and with decorative sleeves and a corset bodice - for a gala evening.

Models that are sewn without patterns

For beginner craftsmen, simple models are suitable, the manufacture of which does not require spending time on a pattern. Beautiful and functional, the off-the-shoulder, ruffled dress is constructed from four pieces of fabric and elastic for the top line.

Progress

  1. Draw two rectangles directly on the fabric for the front and back sides - the width is determined by the circumference of the hip, the length by the size of the finished item.
  2. Cut and sew along the sides of the dress elements, leaving about 20 cm unfastened at the top.
  3. Connect the sections of the flounce strip and fasten them.
  4. Sew the flounce and the product together, connecting the edges from one armhole to the other.
  5. Hem the top - you need to leave a gap of a couple of centimeters for the drawstring.

Before sewing an open-shoulder dress using this model, you need to finish the side seams and edges with a single stitch (French seam). The armholes are connected to the sleeves, then the facing is secured to the top line, and at the last stage of work, an elastic band is threaded into the drawstring, fixing its edges.

An unusual beach dress can be sewn from an ordinary men's shirt. It is also held on by an elastic band, and the top of the product must be cut off so that there is an allowance for the hem for the drawstring. It is sewn from the inside out - the design should be about 5 cm wide so that the elastic tape can be threaded through it freely. After decorating the top, all you have to do is shorten and trim the sleeves - and the outfit is ready.

Models based on the base pattern

If designing from drawings is a familiar job for you, an option is to model an open outfit based on a classic base. The “original” pattern for an off-the-shoulder dress is a design diagram for the adjacent product with set-in shirt sleeves or raglan. Using ready-made drawings, be sure to adjust them to your figure, determine the allowances needed for a loose fit and select the density for the frills, if any.

For models in the fashionable “Russian” style, the sleeves are modeled on the basis of raglan. Its drawing can even be done using a simple graphic method, based on a shirt sleeve designed to your measurements. You will also need a basic drawing of the bodice. To combine it with the sleeve pattern, it is enough to measure the circumference of the arm on the widest part of the forearm (approximately along the armpit length) - for work you will need half the size.

Dresses with a cut-off Tatyanka skirt, small ruffles and sleeves are sewn on the basis of raglan and according to the patterns of the basic bodice and sleeves.

Progress

  1. Adjust the position of the front, back and sleeve patterns at the point along the shoulder seam - according to the figure, focusing on the raglan pattern.
  2. Temporarily aligning the bottom of the sleeve and the armhole, draw the outline of the raglan along the back and front towards the neckline.
  3. Along the resulting line, cut off the part and align it with the edging.
  4. Move the waist darts to the neckline or, if frequent gatherings are needed, further separate the front elements (this way the raglan can be modified into a “flashlight”).
  5. Determine the depth of the cross cut using an elastic band and determine the positions of the control points on the front, shoulder and sleeve.
  6. Mark the points on the drawing and adjust the smooth joining line of the front, sleeve and back according to them.
  7. Cut the diagram along the drawn line, checking the dimensions of the armhole in advance.
  8. Lower the waistline by 4-5 cm to form an overlap for attaching elastic in a fluffy “tatyanka”.

To design a two-tiered skirt, you need two pieces of fabric: one rectangle for the required length of the part and the second about 1.5 times wider. The vertical in the drawing is divided into two components. The ratio of skirt to frill is best determined by the classic ratio of 60/40. It, especially in midi length, visually harmonizes the figure and makes it proportional.

The model can also be made in one piece. In this case, measurements are taken taking into account the length of the skirt and the overlap of the drawstring. When the bottom flares from the waist, the angle along the back and the shelf should coincide. Make sure that the pairing on the sides is neat and check the lines along them and the center - align the verticals with the armholes. The dress is sewn in sequence from the armhole with sleeves to the side seams on the bodice and cuts (one line). The facing is then attached to the top, and pleats are formed on the cut-off skirt and connected to the top of the product.

Bodycon dress with elastic and elbow length sleeves

A spectacular model with an open shoulder line and an adjacent silhouette is sewn from elastic fabrics - for example, knitwear. For design, you need measurements of the half-circumference at the waist and chest, the length along the back to the waist and the size of the sleeve (depending on its narrowness). Patterns are formed as halves of the front and back, and to cut it out you need to fold the piece of fabric in half with the right side inward. The drawing is carefully pinned to the fabric and outlined.

Progress

  1. Draw contours for seam allowances - 1-1.5 centimeters from the basic outlines of the parts.
  2. Cut out a solid sleeve with allowances and a separate strip of fabric along the length of the cross-cut line for the drawstring.
  3. Sew the side elements, sleeve, fold the fabric for the drawstring and secure it.
  4. Thread the elastic band, fasten it into a ring and close the edges of the neck.

Basic patterns of blouses, tops and shirts can be modified in a similar way, giving them a current, fresh look and adding a statement detail. You can sew thin straps to the elastic that holds the neckline at the required level, having previously cut them out from the main fabric or decorative braid, and also decorate the top with a wide strip of airy lace. If you need a more formal silhouette, you should design a pattern based on a sheath dress or a basic bodice with an adjacent sculptural silhouette.

Dresses with a cutout on the shoulders and a fitted silhouette

Models that beautifully outline the curves of the figure are made from stretchy knitwear - there is no need to model darts or take a long time to adjust the increase. If you like “rigid” options, made from non-elastic materials, you need to take as a basis the pattern of a classic sheath with a decorated side line and a “drawn” bodice.

Progress

  1. A basic rectangle is drawn and a shoulder line is drawn on it, taking into account the slope.
  2. Separately for the front and back, shelves are drawn and darts for the shoulders are made.
  3. The outlines of the armhole are drawn up.
  4. A dart is formed along the chest, and transferred from the shoulder to the armpit.
  5. The shelves at the waist and back are separated.
  6. A line is drawn along the thigh, and an extension and a lower line are drawn from it.

New cut lines are applied to the front and back parts of the basic design. On an open dress, the dart along the front of the skirt is not sewn, but rather a small fold is formed. On the bodice you also need to put gathers - they are then stitched on the top and bottom sides. The belt in the model is drawn separately and then stitched. For tops made of thin translucent fabrics, you will need a lining. It is cut out according to the same pattern as the main elements. Then the finished parts are folded with the right side inward and ground along the top cut line. You will need to sew darts along the back and make a secret lock.

master class for beginners – Masters Fair

This is my first publication, so please do not judge strictly. Last year there was a master class on sewing off-the-shoulder dresses for mother and daughter. The dress is truly wonderful. For many years his style has not gone out of fashion. It can be completely different - short, long, romantic, playful, gentle, bright, and even sexy. It is so universal that it suits absolutely everyone, regardless of size and age. It could be a dress or a blouse, a tunic.

Many people asked for the pattern. There is a lot of it on the Internet and in very different variations. In this master class I will show how I create a custom dress pattern. Let's just say that the instructions are more for beginners. Let's get started! We take any old, unnecessary shirt or blouse that you have worn for a long time and that fits you very well. It should not be knitted or form-fitting. It could be an old office shirt that fits. Which you can’t seem to wear anymore and it’s a pity to throw away, this one can be cut up. This will be the basis of the pattern. We cut along the red line.

It turns out like this. Cut off the top and sleeves and discard.

Then we cut the resulting bodice in the middle and get a top pattern for our future dress.

Now we need to build the sleeve. To do this, take two A4 sheets, connect them together and place our bodice pattern on top. Like this.

Then the second side.

Here I wrote the forearms, we measure the volume of the shoulder (sorry for ignorance of anatomy). In principle, this results in a very comfortable sleeve width. If we want it to be larger, then we expand it accordingly. We measure down the length of the sleeve as arbitrary as we wish. This can also be done on the fabric during the cutting process. We have a pattern for the dress bodice and sleeves.

We're almost done, there's one more small nuance. We raise the patterns upward by 10 cm. And the sleeve, and the front, and the back. Towards the middle of the front and back, we lower the pattern by 1-2 cm for a more rounded neckline. Why is this being done?

If you don’t lift it up, then the armhole cuts into the armpit very well, this happened with my first dress. And in the warm season you need good ventilation :) This increase is enough for both the drawstring and the loose fit. In any case, attach the pattern to yourself and determine a comfortable depth.

This is a pattern for the top of the dress. The skirt can be completely different. You can make an A-line dress by lowering a line from the waist down, slightly widening and rounded at the bottom.

You can make a cut-off skirt. To do this, cut out a rectangle with a length equal to the length of the skirt and a width equal to the waist circumference multiplied by 1.5. You can make a flounce along the bottom of a long or short skirt. Its length is also equal to the length of the bottom edge of the skirt, multiplied by 1.5. This volume is quite sufficient.

I hope everything was clear, and this method of constructing a pattern was useful and understandable to you. I wish you successful patterns and beautiful dresses!

Criticism is welcome.

With the onset of the summer season, the entire female half of humanity gladly exposes their necks and shoulders, exposing them to the gentle sun. Many styles of blouses and dresses have been invented that expose the shoulders. Now the fashion of the 70-80s is returning, when sundresses and dresses were worn either without harnesses at all, or with very thin ropes. The only thing that distinguishes the current fashion from the past is the presence of one or more flounces.

The off-shoulder dress with ruffles looks stunning on any figure. It can be of different lengths - from a very short beach one to a long evening one. The number of frills varies. Visually, the frill located on top significantly enlarges the breasts. It’s very easy to choose a model that suits your shape and color. It’s even easier to sew a dress with bare shoulders and frills using your own pattern.

Simple pattern

In order to sew such a dress, you need to have minimal experience. First you need to measure the length of the future dress and the volume of the chest. Give 3 cm seam allowance and 15 cm allowance on each side and prepare two rectangular pieces of fabric. We overcast each rectangle around the perimeter and sew along the sides to the armholes. The result was a straight-shaped “pipe”.

The next step will be cutting out the frill. To do this, measure the volume of the shoulders, add 3 cm on each side to the seams and multiply the size by two, by the gathering of the material. We attach a frill to the dress itself. The result is the letter T. If you have a foot on your sewing machine for assembling the shuttlecock, then sew once along the edge of the material. If such a function is not available, then do not worry. You just have to manually gather and baste to the width of the dress. The parts are sewn together as follows.

The rectangle of the dress is right side up, and the frill is wrong side out. Then the frill is lowered down and (retreating 1-1.5 cm along the front side) is sewn with a simple seam, but not completely. Leave an inlet hole for the elastic. So, the summer dress with open shoulders and flounce is ready. All that remains is to add the belt. It can be sewn separately from the same material or made in the form of a second elastic band inserted inside at waist level. A wide belt with embroidery and beads or a narrow leather strap will look beautiful. It depends on your creative ideas.

Dress with multiple elastic bands

The next style of dress with open shoulders and flounces differs from the previous one in several elastic bands on the top and on the waist. The only difficulty for beginning seamstresses will be the sleeves available in this model. We start sewing in the same way as before. Armholes for the sleeves are cut out on the rectangle using regular patterns. Multi-layer elastic is made by sewing several parallel seams with the same distance between them. Leave the edge of the frill to the desired length.

To complete the look, add a frill to the sleeves by inserting one elastic band around the circumference of the arm, but not too tightly. You can also decorate the bottom of the dress with frills, from one to three. The lace details look beautiful on them.

High waist dress

A dress with open shoulders and flounces, which has a high waist and a bodice decorated with elastic bands, looks very gentle and feminine. The dress widens towards the bottom edge, adding lightness to the gait. This style hides a small tummy and can be worn by women in an interesting position. In the first months of pregnancy, the growing belly will not be visible at all.

There is nothing complicated in sewing such a model. The bodice of the dress is stitched along the entire length with stripes with an internal insert of material. We insert from 6 to 10 elastic bands, depending on the volume of the chest. On the bottom of the dress we sew a frill of 10 to 15 cm, with light tucks that are barely visible. The frill at the top covers the bodice completely.

Evening dress with darts

A lace translucent dress with open shoulders and flounces looks very gentle and elegant. Thanks to the darts on the chest and waist, it completely fits and follows the contours of the body.

This style is suitable for slender girls. If a girl has broad shoulders and small breasts, but at the same time a flat stomach and slender legs, then this version of the evening dress is created just for her. To sew such a dress, with open shoulders and flounces, take the usual pattern, as for a narrow dress with darts on the chest and waist.

The top flounce covers the chest and is not very gathered. The frill at the bottom is flared. You can make it uniform along the entire length; the option, as in the photo, looks interesting - the length is shorter in front and behind, and longer on the sides. A belt is not needed for this type of dress.

Tight dress with harnesses

The next version of the summer dress looks very beautiful. It is narrow, classic type. The length can be different, as desired. The material chosen for this model is dense. It's either denim or linen. If you sew it from light fabric, the frill may hang from the shoulders and become deformed. It will look sloppy. The straps are also not narrow, but about 3 cm. At the back, on the back, there is a zipper of the same color.

The top frill is tapered and sewn only on the front and back of the dress. The bottom is decorated with fringe, made by stretching several layers of threads of material. You can come up with your own version of the border. This can be a bright edging, repeated on both the frill and the straps. The embroidery element on the frill will look beautiful.

Dress with seam waist

To sew a dress, you need to cut it correctly. The upper part of the dress is sewn with long straight undercuts. A wide skirt is cut out separately and gathered at the waist using three counter pleats at the front and back.

The length of the skirt is short, 10-15 cm above the knees. The frill on the shoulders is flared, sewn from two layers of material for density. Sewn to the bodice of the dress only at the front and back. The zipper is located on the back of the dress and is not sewn into the frill. The belt is not designed for this model.

The most varied fabrics are used: plain and colored, thin and dense, natural and with the addition of synthetics. This style is suitable for girls both slender and tall, and short, with small breasts. The small belly will be hidden behind a tight seam due to the cut-off waist. You can sew a dress with open shoulders with a flounce yourself, or you can do it in any studio.

Latest fashion trends

Nowadays it is very fashionable to wear shirt dresses. The style is reminiscent of a men's dress shirt: a turn-down collar, a placket and small buttons along the entire length of the dress. Typically, this style involves wide tailoring, with dropped shoulders, as if larger. The material used is natural, cotton or cambric. This makes the dress very light, loose, perfect for hot summer weather.

You can often see famous film and television stars wearing shirt dresses. They come in a variety of styles. Flared at the bottom, fitted and straight, with or without a belt. With pockets, a placket and a belt, they look strict. Suitable for work uniform or everyday life. Lightweight and flared models can be worn for a walk to the sea. Even shirt dress models with cut-out bare shoulders have been invented. Let's consider this option.

Shirt dress with flounce and open shoulders

The model of a shirt dress, which is flared at the bottom and decorated with several rows of beautifully gathered frills, looks elegant and airy. Having put on such a dress, you immediately want to dance to the rhythm of sambo, imagining yourself as a participant in the carnival in Rio de Janeiro. For a dance party, the choice of such a dress is the most successful. Such dresses are very fashionable this season, so they are expensive. If you want to save money, but your husband has shirts in his closet, then start creating.

To do this, you just need to cut off the armholes of the sleeves, stitching the edges on a sewing machine, and select the material for the ruffles. You can make just one, sewing it at chest level. Ruffles can be a different color, such as stripes or bright colors.

A modern girl should have several dresses for the summer season for different occasions. In the summer heat, you want to wear lighter clothes, exposing your shoulders. It is advisable to choose natural fabrics for dresses. It can be cotton, satin, cambric, linen, silk. The choice is quite large. You can buy dresses, but sewing a summer dress with a flounce and open shoulders using a pattern is absolutely easy. It is enough to have the Internet, a sewing machine, buy fabric and accessories.

The presented styles of summer dresses are not particularly difficult to sew, and if you have at least basic sewing skills with your own hands, then you will cope with the task perfectly. Modeling a dress with open shoulders and a flounce is a fascinating activity, since the styles can be complemented using your imagination.

Do-it-yourself summer new clothes are a great option. So that you don’t have to go shopping in search of similar clothes, we will tell you how to sew a dress with open shoulders.

It can be worn not only as casual wear, but also for special occasions. Today we will look at several options for sewing such a wonderful product.

Materials and tools:

  1. Fabric (color of your choice).
  2. Threads to match.
  3. Tape measure.
  4. Linen elastic.
  5. Needle.
  6. Scissors.
  7. Tailor's pins for chopping.
  8. Iron.
  9. Sewing machine.
  10. Overlock machine (if available).

Sewing technique:

  • We decide on the length and width of the summer dress. To do this, we take measurements, measuring our parameters (half-circumference of the chest, waist, hips, length and width of the armholes). We perform the operation using a measuring tape.
  • We cut out four equilateral rectangles, which will serve as details for our outfit. We got 2 parts for the base of the dress (length 90 cm and width 66 cm), 2 parts for sewing a flounce (length 132 cm and width 32 cm).

Important! In these measurements we took into account all seam allowances (based on 3 cm, on ruffle - 2 cm). For example, we will cut a dress with our own hands for a girl who wears size 48 clothes.

  • We sew the base parts along the sides, leaving the upper part of the product unstitched. This also applies to the armholes, which also need to be left untreated for now, departing 25 cm from the top of the dress (armhole length). Iron and sew the seams. Now we lay the same finishing stitch along the side armholes.
  • We take the rectangular piece for the flounces in our hands and sew its side sections, iron it, and then sew the seams.
  • We connect the middle of the base and the ruffle with tailor's pins, we get a T-shaped outfit.
  • We turn the product up once, leaving an unstitched area of ​​1.5 cm for threading the elastic band.
  • Now it's time to measure the elastic. Its length is the circumference of the shoulder circumference. We thread the elastic into the free upper edge of the base, connect its ends with an overcast stitch and sew a stitch on a sewing machine.
  • Now we hem the bottom of the ruffle and the outfit with a hem seam or process the edge using an overlock or zigzag method.

That's all the work! Now you know how to sew a dress with a ruffle on top! This is a great idea for a romantic date with your loved one.

Materials and tools:

  1. Fabric of your favorite color, 50 cm long and 1.5 cm wide (size 42).
  2. Rubber.
  3. Bias tape
  4. Threads to match the fabric.
  5. Threads for overcasting.
  6. Centimeter.
  7. Pins.
  8. Needle.
  9. Scissors.
  10. Chalk or soap.
  11. Chalk board.
  12. Overlock.
  13. Sewing machine.

Progress:

  • Prepare the fabric for cutting. Decorate the material (check for shrinkage), iron it with an iron with maximum steam output. If you are using natural fabric, such as silk, for a blouse with ruffles, we recommend soaking it in warm water, wringing it lightly, drying it and ironing it at minimum power.
  • Since our blouse with ruffles has a straight, loose fit, we are focusing on the pattern size of the model with a chest dart. We mark the depth of the cutout on the finished pattern. We transfer the marked boundaries to the fabric using chalk or a small soap.
  • We fold the material in half with the right sides inward, with the edges facing each other, moving along the grain thread. An exception may be the transverse arrangement of the warp fibers or the direction of the pattern. We lay out the resulting patterns for the back and shelves on the fabric and combine the middles of the parts with the folds on the material.
  • We outline our pattern and fit it a little along the side lines.

Important! If you want to sew a very loose blouse, then do not perform this step, but proceed to the next one.

  • We mark the increases: along the side seams - 2 cm, along the top and bottom edges - 1.5 cm.

Important! We deliberately do not add allowances along the armhole line due to the fact that we will be finishing its edge with bias tape.

  • We cut out strips for constructing flounces from the remnants of fabric 15 cm wide + 1.5 cm for the hem and a length equal to the circumference of the upper circumference of the shoulders, multiplied by 2 (to assemble the top of the dress).

Important! If there is a shortage of fabric, cut out a strip with several seams, which should be located at the bottom of the shelf.

  • We transfer all marked boundaries from one part to another using a chalk board. Baste, stitch, and then iron the dart with allowances in the upper direction. We sweep and sew the sections from the side of the shelf, iron their back.
  • We make the basics of the product, which is necessary so that changes can be made after preliminary fitting of the dress. We combine the side seams with each other and pin them together. We put on the dress, check the fit of the seams and the feeling of comfort. If the product is too tight for you somewhere or you want to make a cutout on the neckline at the front or back, we perform additional operations.
  • Now we process the armholes with bias tape.
  • We process the shuttlecock. We connect the details of the ruffle so that we get one solid circle. We overlock the edges with an overlocker and then iron them. We decorate the bottom edge of the ruffle with a zigzag or a narrow overcast stitch.

Important! To perform this operation, you can safely use bias tape, lace, sewing or braid.

  • We sew two parallel machine lines along the top edge of the ruffle, slightly loosening the top thread.
  • Pull the ends of the lower threads to assemble the shuttlecock assembly. The gather should fit your upper shoulder circumference.
  • We connect the shuttlecock to the main product, placing it with the front side inward. We combine the top section of the dress with the ruffle section, pin it, baste it and connect the flounce to the dress (along the back and front) with a 1.5 cm seam. Sew the flounce along the gathering between two lines to evenly distribute the gathered strip and avoid stitches getting on the outside of the product .
  • We direct the allowances towards the outfit. We secure them with a stitch, keeping a distance of 1.5 cm from the connecting seam of the product with the flounce.
  • We insert the elastic, stretching it a little, and secure the ends.
  • Sew the elastic in the shoulder area to the ruffle allowance using a zigzag stitch, keeping the elastic taut.
  • We bend the increase to the wrong side and secure the allowances with a linen elastic band using a regular machine stitch on the front side of the product.
  • We put on the blouse and check the tension of the elastic. We adjust comfort by moving the elastic band on the shelf and back. Trim off the excess elastic.
  • We overcast the bottom of the blouse using an overlocker, and then bend the edge 1 cm to sew it on a sewing machine.

Now you will not worry about the question of how to sew a summer dress with flounces, because you have already become acquainted with simple instructions for making it. Believe me, in this off-shoulder outfit you will be the most irresistible!

Off-shoulder dress with ruffles

Femininity, lightness, airiness, carelessness - these are the associations that come to mind when a beauty floats past in a fashionable look with bare shoulders.

It is easy for romantic natures, who are characterized by a carefree life and a passion for fashionable new items, to stay in trend this year. A dress with open shoulders and frills is just the hit of the season! Regardless of what it was decided to complement the look with - sandals, wedges, ballet shoes or Crocs - admiring glances and compliments are guaranteed.

Wavy elements in an outfit are not only elegant, but also relevant for those who want to hide minor figure flaws. Dresses with frills are chosen from thin, flowing fabrics, such as chintz or chiffon. Models must be selected according to your figure, or a size larger. The dress should give a flirty look, but not sit like a bag, not puff up at the sides, and not squeeze the shoulders with the elastic band, which is the basis for creating a flounce.

Stylish long models to the floor

From the point of view of men, a seductive dress is a mini in all versions. But, you don’t always want to attract, charm and look sexy, sometimes your plans are to just go shopping. In this case, a floor-length, open-shoulder dress will be a comfortable and stylish option. The loose fit makes it as comfortable as possible. In such a dress you don’t need to be embarrassed about your imaginary enemies - a wide waist, thick knees and unshaven legs.

In the summer months, a long off-the-shoulder dress will be a salvation for pregnant ladies. Firstly, the loose cut allows you to emphasize your round tummy and full breasts. Not all expectant mothers emphasize their interesting position in their clothes, and exposing a growing belly, according to some people, is considered a sign of bad taste and a way of incurring the evil eye or damage. Therefore, the most superstitious girls, who avoid fitted styles during the waiting period, prefer open shoulders, length to the heels, a loose cut and an abundance of flounces.

The desire to hide the tummy does not carry with it any additional restrictions when choosing colors and accessories. Here fantasy and personal preferences come to the fore: cotton or knitted, blue or light blue, striped or polka dots, with breast cups or simply with supporting straps.

Peasant dress in the style “A la Russe”

In the wake of various trainings and courses on gaining femininity and attractiveness, outfits in the style of noble noble ladies and simple peasant motifs “A la Russe” have returned to fashion. If the former involve a complex cut made of expensive dense fabrics with a closed neck and shoulders, then the latter are light, airy outfits that are affordable both in price and in the choice of style for almost every woman. Over the past year, “Russian style” has taken a leading place at social events. No one else needs to be convinced that Russian silhouettes are feminine and romantic. Therefore, this season, along with open floor-length dresses, the “peasant dress” style took the leading position in sales and self-tailoring.

This style has distinctive details that remain unchanged: an open neck, shoulders and chest, an emphasized waist and a full circle skirt. Dresses in this style are made mainly from simple fabrics, such as cotton or thick viscose. The color scheme is often monochromatic, less often ethnic Slavic motifs are used, for example a bright floral print. The main emphasis in the “peasant young lady” style is on the waist, which is highlighted with a belt, drawstring or belt. To dilute the look and add a bit of modernity to it, you can choose a belt from the current year’s collection.

Evening dress with open shoulders

For an evening out, a dress with bare shoulders is ideal. You just need to choose the appropriate style for a specific event. For example, it could be a classic black cocktail dress just below the knees, or an elegant red floor-length dress made of silk flowing fabric that completely covers the chest, but exposes the shoulders and back. This season, models with a corset base and a full mid-length skirt with flowing shoulders are very popular. Following fashion protocol, an off-the-shoulder evening dress is worn without a bra. It should fit well and not be too tight or provocatively short. In other words, an evening dress is designed to add elegance to a woman’s look, so that even in a bar with friends she can imagine herself as the queen of the catwalk.

White off the shoulder wedding dress

Off-the-shoulder wedding dresses are an absolute classic of the genre. The most popular models in recent years are the mermaid silhouette, a sheath (knee-length), and, of course, a princess dress with a flounced skirt, which is available in any wedding salon in different variations and all kinds of colors.

Historically, a wedding is a stage of transition, a change from one social role to another. A kind of farewell to girlish carelessness, teenage pigtails and open dresses. After the wedding, at all times, women preferred floor-length dresses with a closed neckline in moderate colors. Therefore, a wedding ceremony is an excellent occasion to sparkle with your graceful, fragile shoulders to this day.

Ideas for obese women

It is believed that dresses with bare shoulders look elegant only on fragile girls with an hourglass figure and protruding collarbones, because it makes the upper part of the silhouette visually wider. But that's not true. Only massive shoulders, which draw all attention to themselves, can serve as a “stop” signal. Models of the V-shaped version look most seductive on those with appetizing shapes. It is better to select the size of the neckline in moderation so that the neckline is not flashy and does not distract from the image as a whole.

A supportive bra is a must, otherwise even the most chic outfit made of quality material will look ridiculous. A good solution would be a high-waisted dress that will cover your belly and other figure imperfections.

Another look in which a plump lady will look luxurious and bold is an elongated shirt with open shoulders, which is complemented only by a belt. This is a light summer option that perfectly models the figure and does not require anything other than seamless underwear and a good pedicure.

What jewelry to choose for an off-shoulder dress

The best decoration for a dress with open shoulders will be a tan and velvety well-groomed skin. If we talk about accessories, this season golden and silver flash tattoos are wildly popular, which can be ordered without any problems on the Internet, for example on Aliexpress. Even at school prom, girls opted for youthful denim and tight knitted dresses with bare shoulders, and decorated their upper bodies with sparkling tattoos.

For lovers of the classics, we can recommend cluster earrings that hang down to the shoulders, medium-diameter hoop earrings, or a variety of jewelry. An elegant chiffon cape over the shoulders can also be a decoration in the evening. And in hot weather, you can focus on shoes. These can be simple slates, but embroidered with glass pebbles. Of the many options for hairstyles, you can choose a headband and a simple braid, and for young girls, the best decoration will be loose wavy hair.

Master class - How to sew a beautiful dress with bare shoulders with elastic with your own hands

A casual summer dress with an elastic band can be easily cut and sewn in one day, and in the evening you can wear it for a romantic walk, to the cinema or on a date. We will need a light breathable fabric of a pleasant color, matching threads and an ordinary elastic band. After taking all the necessary measurements, we cut out four rectangles: two of them will be the basis of the dress, and two will be the details of the flounce. Next: - sew the base parts along the side seams, leaving 20-25 cm at the top of the dress untouched; - connect the side sections of the flounce and sew them together, you can overcast them; - connect the edges of the base and the edges of the flounce (you should get a T-shaped design), sew from armhole to armhole; - hem the top of the dress, leaving a gap of 1.5-2 cm for threading the elastic with a knitting needle and then complete this section.
