The idea of ​​creating a strapless dress first appeared in the 30s of the 20th century and has firmly established itself as a fashion trend to this day.

A women's strapless dress is a very seductive, stylish, glamorous outfit. This dress model can be worn for any occasion, except going to work. In it you will be irresistible at any celebration or party. And in the summer it will be very useful for a summer walk or a trip to the beach.

This dress can be long or short. This is a universal model. It can be made from fabric of any texture and any style. The skirt can be cut in various styles.

Let's look at how to sew a strapless dress yourself using the simplest option. We can find a dress pattern consisting of 2 parts on the Internet.

Simple Strapless Cotton Dress Model

The model is sewn from cotton fabric, with flounces at the top and bottom. Despite the simplicity of the cut, the finished dress will look very impressive.

The technique is as follows:

1. We take measurements of the main size - hip volume, if it is larger than chest volume. If the breast is larger, we take its volume as a basis.
2. We build a rectangle with a width equal to V hips x 1.4. This is done to create wrinkles on clothes. If you want to get a strongly gathered base, you can multiply the volume by a larger amount. The length of the rectangle is equal to the length of the dress before the frill - 65 cm.
3. We cut frills. There will be 2 of them. Top and bottom. We build a rectangle with a length that matches the width of the dress and a height of 12 cm.
4. We make allowances for all seams - 1.5 cm, and increase the bottom and top by 3 cm.
5. We sew the seam of the product vertically.
6. Fold the bottom and hem it.
7. Sew on the bottom frill of the dress.
8. Similarly, we sew on the top frill and bend it along with the top edge of the item. Sew along the top, leaving a small unstitched piece for threading the elastic.
9. We insert the elastic band and sew up the hole.

An interesting strapless summer dress can be made from knitwear. Any stretchy fabric that hugs your figure is ideal.

We take measurements of the future product. You need to measure:

1. V above the chest;
2. V waist;
3. size from waist to top of dress;
4. size from waist to bottom of dress.

Let's start creating a pattern for the product:

• We need to cut out the front and back. They will be the same.

For the drawstring that will run along the top of the product, we cut out a strip 3 cm wide.

Don't forget about seam allowances. At the bottom and top of the dress - 3 cm. At the remaining seams - 1.5 cm.

1. We build the upper part of the dress.
2. From the side point of the waist, we lay down the length of the dress. We draw two lines down from the waist line, transferring its width to the bottom of the dress.
3. Along the bottom of the skirt, from the straight lines, set aside 15 cm.We draw oblique lines to the side points of the waist. The skirt comes in a flared style. The length of these lines is equal to the measurement from the waist to the bottom.
4. Connect the bottom with a smooth line.
5. Then everything is the same as in the previous version.

Using these patterns as an example, we were convinced that sewing is not only simple, but also a very interesting activity. And strapless dresses can adorn not only a slender figure. They will suit a woman of any size.

In summer, this style seductively opens the shoulders and emphasizes the long neck of its owner. In winter it decorates its owner, making it an excellent evening outfit. With a floor length, you will turn into a real princess, an elegant, sensual, seductive woman.
