How to sew a lace dress

To sew a lace dress with a circle skirt, we will need about 2 hours of free time.By spending it, you will find a versatile and stylish outfit. You can wear such a thing both on a date and for a walk. Everything is decided by the selected material and the length of the model. This above-the-knee length piece made of fine lace in a bright color can be safely worn for an evening walk. So, let's start the master class.

Constructing a pattern

Top

In order to facilitate and speed up work on the dress, we we will not create a pattern for the upper part. And just take a T-shirt/T-shirt, depending on how long you want the sleeve. We apply it to the fabric and circle it with a piece of soap.

REFERENCE! If the fabric from which you are going to sew a product stretches, then we add 10 cm to the pattern of the upper part of the dress (the silhouette of a T-shirt). If the fabric does not stretch, then 15–20 cm.

This dress model does not have a zipper.

Skirt

We build separately skirt pattern. Fold the fabric in four, putting 1/4 of the waist circumference in the upper corner of the fabric. We measure the desired length of the skirt, leaving an allowance of 2-3 cm.

The skirt pattern is ready.

Belt

For the belt, we need to cut out a rectangular base with a width of 7 cm and a length equal to: OT+10 cm.

Step-by-step sewing instructions

1. Apply it to the fabric and trace a piece of soap around the T-shirt or T-shirt. And we are creating a pattern for a circle skirt. Cut out the parts along the marked lines.
2. Sew the top of the product and trim the edges with bias tape.
3. We fold the rectangle that will make up our belt in half and sew it to the skirt.
4. Cut the elastic to the length of your waist. We push it inside the belt; you can use a pin for this. And we flash it.
5. We sew the bottom to the top, process the armholes and hem.

IMPORTANT! Aligning the hem of a circle skirt is difficult, so it is advisable to do it on a mannequin. This will allow the fabric to sag and make it easy to cut off the excess.

The hem of the skirt is best finished with a zigzag stitch.And another trick is to bend the bottom of the skirt for a very long time. Do this using a special web, and it will only take you five minutes.

You can try on new clothes! We got such a cute dress.
