It turns out that not all stores can offer the assortment that customers imagined in their heads when shopping, and the atelier is quite an expensive pleasure, then hand-sewn products will always be relevant and have many advantages, ranging from price to originality, and also quality.
Recently, dresses with swing collars have come back into fashion. Want it, but have nowhere to buy it? There is always a solution! The algorithm for making such a dress is given below.
Preparatory stage
Before working with fabric, you need to become familiar with the features of the pattern. Its essence is that, oddly enough, there are no seam allowances. Their length may be minimal, but this depends on the model of the sewing machine that will apply the seams. If you also want to overlock the product, you can add no more than 0.5–0.8 centimeters in favor of the stitch width. Also, an allowance of 2 centimeters is required on the hem of the dress itself.
Based on the pattern, it is difficult to distinguish a swing collar from a lambrequin on curtains.This indicates the simple work ahead of you. Feel free to take it on!
If we return to the topic of fashion, they say that it is cyclical. At one time, blouses with a collar of this type were popular, and now dresses are no less in demand.
In this case, it is worth thinking about the reasons for such demand for such a product. The fact is that such things add zest to an ordinary element of clothing, fit any girl’s complexion, and also emphasize the beautiful neckline and curves of the neck.
As decorative elements, you can add straps and lower them while wearing them, or make voluminous sleeves. Such images are replete with their diversity and originality. Some young ladies sew elastic bands to their sleeves and regulate their position on the shoulders themselves.
The most common (standard) pattern is a top or bodice pattern, which can be modified.
Having become familiar with the process of preparing fabric, the question arises about further actions. An algorithm that beginner girls can use to make a “swing” neck will help here.
The first stage alone takes so long. It is necessary to complete this stage correctly, since otherwise all further work will be done for someone else, but not for you and your parameters. A minimum error of 0.5 centimeters will already be noticeable.
Find the middle of the back, front and armhole on the pattern. Ideally, they should go inside the dart.
Do not take into account the dart in the shoulder area for now, but it will be useful when measuring the distance of 3-4 centimeters from the neck along this line. Since this kind of dress is usually made to be worn in the summer, there is no need for wide shoulders. The optimal distance from the new neckline point to the shoulder mark is 5 centimeters.
Make a line for the neck of the product.
Now you need to move the dart to the center point of the shelf. Next, from the edge of the pattern, set aside the middle of the shelf and back. And finally, check that all points and dimensions are correct, so that it does not turn out that there is not enough fabric.
conclusions
All the work described does not sound so difficult, and in reality it does not look particularly tricky. The main thing is attention and the right attitude towards production as an important event.
