Skirt-ballon with own hands

A balloon skirt is a very interesting and unusual model. Similarity to the "balloon" is given to the bent edges and additional volume. That's why this skirt got its name. It is almost universal: it can serve as a part of both business and everyday attire. It can also be worn for a romantic date, and even on the most solemn occasions.

Combine the skirt-ballon can be with a variety of things. The rest of the wardrobe items are selected individually, depending on the case. One should take into account only one nuance: the design of the skirt-balloon is such that it visually reduces the length of the legs. Therefore, fashion designers recommend shoes high-heeled shoes or sandals on a wedge.

The only one of its kind will be a self-made skirt balloon. The pattern for this model is not as complicated as it seems at first glance. It can be found on the Internet or in any magazine by sewing. The main secret of the skirt is that the lining should be shorter than the main part. Much attention is paid to sewing fabrics, because it depends on it, where you will dress a new thing - for a strict measure or for more playful occasions.

After that, you will need to choose the skirt style to your liking. But any skirt-balloon is sewn from several parts. Its upper detail can be repeated by any needlewoman, who is familiar with the terms "sun" or "half-sun". And for those who have forgotten, we recall: the pattern "sun" - this is a normal circle, with a round neckline in the middle. It is cut out on the fabric folded in two by the face inward. The second variant, respectively, is a semicircle, with a similar cutout. The central notch is calculated by the formula: the waist halves divided by three and minus 1 cm for a better fit. Choose any of these options, depending on whether you want a fluffy skirt or not. The main thing is to add 25-30 cm to the length of the desired skirt when cutting. The lower part, on the contrary, will be slightly shorter. Sew it even easier: it is a trapezoid, that is, a straight, slightly flared skirt.

After the details of the upper and lower skirts are cut, cut them and thread the side seams. Grab the hem of the upper part, sweep to the bottom and sew on the machine. It will remain to connect the two parts and sew in the belt. By the way, if you cover the top and bottom skirts a little with respect to each other, you will get an original and fashionable screw effect.

Make it easier on yourself. We dress the lower skirt with the upper skirt attached to it, then raise the upper one to the level of the belt and twist it to the desired degree of displacement, fixing with tail pins. Our skirt will have soft folds, and it will only be sewn. That's ready skirt balloon. Photo will tell you how to decorate and original decorate a new thing.

The top can be decorated with a wide belt or a yoke. You can decorate to your liking: paillettes, embroidery, lace, decorative flower, etc.

You can also experiment with fabrics: for example, make the top detail transparent so that the result looks stunning! In any case, a skirt-ballon sewn by yourself - this is another reason to be proud of yourself.
