Even if you are not an experienced craftswoman, it will not be difficult to sew a trapeze dress. To do this, you need to make a pattern and cut it out correctly. A zipper can be sewn in at the back to make the dress comfortable to put on.
How to model an A-line dress pattern
A-line dress is a stylish summer outfit that should be present in every girl's wardrobe. It perfectly emphasizes the female silhouette. Of course, it can be purchased at a fashion boutique. But no worse will be a trapeze dress made by yourself. The main thing is to choose a quality fabric to your liking.
Modeling the pattern of a trapeze dress is not such a difficult process. In work, you can rely on the pattern of an ordinary dress. Only additional construction of a single-seam sleeve pattern is required. Also, on the back pattern, you will need to remove the dart and slightly widen the neckline at the back (by about a couple of centimeters).
In the side part, it is necessary to flare by 7 centimeters, and then draw a line of the side seam. Do not forget that the single-seam sleeve should be short enough to reach the elbow line.
As a result of cutting, you should get such details as: sleeve, front of the dress, back of the dress, facing of the neck of the front, in front of the dress. By the way, be sure to leave seam allowances (3 cm at the bottom).
Sewing process
After cutting, you can start sewing a trapeze dress. This is a simple process that doesn't take much of your time. On the front of the dress, you need to grind the bust darts and gently iron the bottom seams. Then you should sew the shoulder and side seams. As for the allowances, they must be smoothed and neatly processed.
Be sure to heat the trims on the neck of the dress with thermal fabric and stitch along the shoulder seams. Then overlap the neckline and stitch. Be sure to cut off the allowances, turn out the piping, overcast them and iron them carefully. Use the piping stitches to baste to the shoulder seams. The piping on the back should be tucked up and the zipper taped to the tapes.
By the way, the process of sewing the zipper into the back of the dress should be described in more detail. First, determine the location of the zipper and reinforce this place with a small piece of thermal cloth. Then place the frame under the zipper and cut it from the neck to the center.
The zipper should be placed under the frame in such a way that the teeth are visible. Then all that remains is to baste and sew the zipper on the front side. Finally, do not forget to tuck and sew the hem of the dress and sleeves by hand. That's actually the whole process of sewing a trapeze dress.
