Dress in the floor: the pattern can be simple

Sarafans can be bought on the floor in online stores, where they are often offered with kokoshnikami, wreaths and other accessories for thematic parties in the national style. However, if you know exactly what the word "sarafan" means ("a long sleeveless dress with a big neckline"), then it can be argued that many versions of women's summer clothes are just sarafans. And in online boutiques of clothes they are offered by hundreds of different options, expensive and not very.

If you are not a fan of such clothes, but go on vacation to Arab countries , for example, you should take it with you, because the local customs of some states suggest that the woman's clothing should be long enough and cover her legs. A sarafan just goes well with a jacket or bolero.

What is a sundress on the floor? The pattern of this model, as a rule, is quite simple. You can simply take a rectangular piece of cloth with a width of at least the circumference of the thighs plus allowances (if the coverage of the chest is larger than the hips, then the measure is taken from the breast measurement). The fabric needs to be strung on the side seam, to gather it from above on an elastic band or kuliska and get a strapless sarafan. Made of bright light fabric, it will be a good option of beachwear. In addition, raised to the level of the neck, it will become, not a little more, a personal "booth" for changing the leotard. Quite often such options are worn with straw hats and espadrilles without heels.

How can I modify such a sundress to the floor? Pattern for the meaning remains the same - a rectangle with a width of at least 1.7 x circumference of the hips (chest). The fabric is better chiffon, it is worn on the side and from the top of the product, somewhere around the waist line rubber threads are injected onto it, which form a fashionable and refined silhouette. Also, to the top line, you can sew narrow straps of lace into the tone of the fabric. This model can be worn at a party with shoes on a wedge. Although wandering along the seashore in it is not less convenient.

Fashion sarafans for full women are focused on hiding some of the shortcomings of the figure in the abdomen or hips. In this case, it is better to focus on products with a skirt of several tiers, collected under the breast in the style of "Empire". Quite often for such sundresses, wide straps are made, which are lowered into the hands to mask the problem areas in the forearm area.

How can I still simulate a sundress in the floor? The pattern in this case will be a bit more complicated. For her, you need to measure the volume of the chest (say, 96 cm). Next, build the drawing in the following way: lay down the length of the product and on this line mark the line of the bodice at a distance equal to the circumference of the chest divided by 4 (96 \ 4 = 21.5 cm). Sideways at an angle of ninety degrees to measure the circumference of the chest. The resulting rectangle is divided in half - the front and back parts of the product will be obtained. On the front, the total width (48 cm) is divided again in half. From the center, transfer the upper edge of the 12 cm (96 \ 8 = 12), the same amount should be deposited from the edges of the front of the pattern.

What is interesting about such a sundress in the floor? The pattern here will have a dart, which gives a good fit on the figure. To complete the construction of the darts, from the center it is necessary to postpone 24 cm (96/4) along the line of the bodice to each side and connect the points obtained with the points on the top line. The triangles obtained will be darts. Next, straps with a length of 24 cm (96/4 = 24) are delineated - and the sarafan pattern is ready.
