Step 1
An outfit for a pregnant woman should be comfortable, the principle of sewing a dress is to create freedom in the abdomen. Modeling techniques are simple - high waist, pintucks, folds, gathers. A good option is the smell, its magnitude changes, such clothes can be worn throughout pregnancy.
Step 2
Choose only natural fabric. Suitable for a light summer dress: cotton jersey, silk, crepe de Chine, viscose. Decide on the style, if you are a beginner seamstress, stop at a simple model, without complex structural details.
Step 3
An Empire-style dress is easily covered and sewn - with a high waist, a flared half-sun skirt and a one-piece short sleeve. First, take measurements: the height of the back and shelves, the girth of the chest, the length of the skirt, the length of the sleeve, the width of the sleeve. Take a thin viscose with a bright printed pattern, you need 3, 5 meters. Fold it, wrong side up. Set aside the height of the shelf and back along the fold, add 5 cm each to the seams, cut off the measured pieces of fabric. On the back to the right from the middle, measure the length of the sleeve, draw a vertical line, put 1/2 of the sleeve width down on it.
Step 4
From the middle line, measure 1/4 of the chest circumference, add 6 cm, draw a side line. Connect the sleeve to this line, rounded in the armhole. Make a neckline in the form of an oval: set aside 7 cm along the upper edge to the right, an arbitrary size down the fold (for a summer dress you can deepen the neckline), connect the points of a smooth curve, cut out the part. Cut out the shelf in the same way, make the neckline deeper.
Step 5
Sew shoulder and side seams. Process them on an overlock. Run lace along the bottom of the sleeves. Grind the neck with a bias tape. This is the easiest way to keep the neckline neat and even, and secure it securely against stretch marks.
Step 6
Open the skirt, to do this, fold the material in four layers: fold it diagonally, like a scarf, and fold it again, aligning the diagonal with the edges. In the upper part, set aside a size equal to the width of the shelf, measure the length of the skirt down, make the width of the skirt arbitrary, cut out the detail. Unfold the fabric and sew a single seam. Connect the parts together. Sew a drawstring on the seamy side of the bodice, insert an elastic band into it, it should not be tight. Trim the hem and you can try on a new thing.
