The beauty and splendor of a child's dress does not always depend on its price and the complexity of the form. See for yourself. Replace expensive fabric with ordinary, but decorated with embroidery. And divide the complex structure of a tiered skirt and bodice into several parts so as not to make mistakes when cutting.
Instructions
Step 1
Divide the dress into three elements: top, skirt and layered petticoat. Sew the fluffy top skirt first. Build a half-sun pattern.
Step 2
In the upper left corner of the pattern paper, put a point, from it draw a vertical line down and a horizontal line to the right. Calculate the size of the waist notch. Add 1 cm to the half-girth of the waist. Multiply the result by 1/3, then by 2 and subtract 2 cm. Put a compass at the point, open it to the resulting radius and draw an arc between the lines.
Step 3
Down vertically and horizontally to the right, measure the desired length of the skirt, connect the ends of these rays with a smooth arc. Add 3 cm of hem and elastic drawstring to the hem and waist opening.
Step 4
To add extra pomp to the dress, put together a petticoat from several layers of organza. Cut them out in the same way. In this case, each next layer should become longer than the previous one by a third. Join each pattern with a side seam, then fold and hem the bottom. Then assemble the entire "structure" so that the longest part is at the bottom. Fold the waist notch inward to create a drawstring. You also need to thread an elastic band into it.
Step 5
Make the upper part of the dress in the form of a simple top. Build its pattern in the form of a rectangle, the width of which is equal to the half-girth of the chest, and the height is equal to the length to the waist. Sew a zipper on the back or side. Trim the upper cut with a bias tape, and stitch the bottom to the skirt. Sew two matching silk ribbon straps to the top.
Step 6
Decorate the dress with beaded embroidery. Draw any abstract pattern on paper. Pick up the beads of the right color and string them on a fishing line that matches the length of one row in the sketch. Use beaded threads to lay out the pattern on the top. Secure each thread with small cross stitches. To keep them invisible, use threads that match the color of the fabric base.
