Evening dress patterns

Probably, many have faced such a problem that sewing and sewing magazines are full of a variety of patterns for everyday and business outfits, and there are very few evening models. As a rule, they are boring and do not always follow fashion trends. On this occasion, a selection of patterns of evening dresses from the catwalk from world couturiers has been created for you. Sexy mermaid dress, A-line with a deep neckline, classic straight and disco short - these outfits will always be relevant.

We can say that the mermaid is the most interesting style for designers. The tight-fitting silhouette and flared skirt remain unchanged, but what the bodice and the "tail" will be depends on the imagination.

We bring to your attention a simple model with straps and light drapery on the bodice, which will give a small volume of the chest and focus on the neckline, a wide belt will further contribute to this.

1. Add the length of the skirt you want to the base pattern and flare it. The pomp of the "tail" depends on the width of the flare.
2. Draw the cutout for the neckline and armholes. Close the dart.
3. The bodice turns out to be detachable, so set aside 15-16 cm down from the neckline and model a belt 8-9 cm high (see the pattern).
4. The belt is ready, we will cut it off.

In front of the bodice, cut along the lines and expand by 2 cm (see picture). The distance between the parts can be increased up to 3 cm if you want a large number of assemblies.

Similarly to the front of the dress, model the back.

1. To drape the belt, you need a rectangle with a width equal to the width of the front belt part (det 2). At the same time, its height is 2 times greater.
2. Sew a rectangle on the sides, pull gently evenly to the width of the front belt. Sweep them together and grind. Then baste the top and bottom of the drape. Sew as a single layer piece.
3. Cut out two rectangles for the bow too. Their finished width should be equal to the width of the front part of the belt, and their length should be 75 cm each.
4. Sew all the details of the dress. Sew the finished elements of the bow into the sides of the mermaid and tie on the bow.

Elie Saab presented a red chiffon dress with the illusion of nudity at one of the shows.

The cut of the model is rather complicated, so we will take a closer look at the sewing stages.

For work you need:

• lining fabric in skin tone;
• chantilly lace;
• chiffon:
• lightning.

Please note that you can create a pattern of an evening dress with your own hands in 2 options:

• draw on graph paper, and then cut;
• use the RedCafe program.

The program has a convenient function that separates lines by color, so you can see the location of all lines.

The modeling stage is over, we are starting to work with the fabric.

• Print out the pattern and fold it into a single piece, matching the corners.
• Then transfer the pattern to the lining and trace the lines with soap or a piece of chalk. You can use the disappearing felt-tip pen.

Machine darts and side seams without bartacks and large stitch widths. Such sweeping is necessary to check the correct fit of the bodice on the dummy.

Cut the lace fabric according to the pattern of the lining fabric. Fasten it on the sides and grind off the darts, after cutting off the excess lace along all the cuts.

Sew the darts at the waist and press to the center. Make sure they are not visible on the lace from the front.

At this stage, the sequence of the embossing of the embossed inlay is important. The pattern should be beautiful, without overlapping lines. And to understand which line will be the first, make a sample. Use a jersey bias tape for the contour lines. It is glossless and easy to work with.

Use a knitted tape to process the cuts of the armholes and necklines. Treat the neckline, which passes into the cut on the back, with a piping stitched in a spread.

The semi-sun skirt consists of a dense lining and transparent chiffon.

First you need to calculate the radius of the waist circumference (From). The radius formula will help you with this: R = (Otx2) / (2x3.14).

Make the bottom radius the desired width.

Working with large cuts has its own characteristics:

• Make sure that there are no defects, stains, stitches on the fabric;
• Try to buy material from a warehouse, so you will not overpay.
• Keep in mind that chiffon with natural threads can shrink, so carry out a wet heat treatment on a sample of fabric.

Get rid of the edge. After making an incision, tear off the bottom and top edges of the fabric.

To assemble the skirt along the waist line, lay 2 stitches 1 cm apart and gently pull to the desired width. It is better to take reinforced threads, they are resistant to strong tensions.

Stitch the lined chiffon skirt. Process the slices on an overlock. Attach the bottom to the bodice of the dress on the mannequin. Correct inaccuracies as needed.

Then open the belt. Its finished width should be 3 cm.

Sew the zipper into the middle seam on the skirt.

At the final stage, connect all the parts.Sew the belt to the skirt with ruffles along the bottom edge, and then to the top of the dress.

The one-shoulder evening option not only allows you to move away from the usual styles, it has a number of advantages, for example, practicality. The dress pattern will be relevant for any occasion. The solemnity of the model will depend on the chosen material, while the length can be adjusted to your liking.

1. Cut the bust and shoulder darts on the base pattern.
2. Align the shoulder sections.
3. Close the darts and shape the neckline.
4. Model the back.

Model the fitted sleeve and shuttlecock.

Another versatile and practical with a number of advantages is the A-line evening dress. It should be a wardrobe staple, especially a red dress like Kim Kardashian's.

Armed with a basic dress base that matches your size, let's start modeling. The model is in 2 parts, so the top and bottom will be modeled separately.

First you need to make a belt. Set aside 7 cm along the cuts of the back and front, then connect the points with a line. Cut the belt with the skirt.

The result is a backrest and 2 shelves. Now move the shoulder darts down

Make the straps 2-2.5 cm wide. 4 cm were added at the bottom of the bodice, since the darts were transferred. Fold them into folds.

The width of the belt should be 7 cm. And the length is determined by the formula:

• for the upper cut - 2x + 2 y, that is, the length of each bodice detail along the lower cut is summed up. Don't forget to add padding around the side seams.
• for the lower cut - a + b, the length which is equal to the waist circumference.

• Remove the darts at the waist.
• Do the breeding on the skirt. You should draw the cut lines (in the figure they are shown in red) on both panels of the skirt.
• Expand the resulting elements by the required amount.

The modeling of the skirt ends with the design of the waist and skirt cuts with a smooth line. We also set the desired length.

It's time to put down your pencil and cut out the details. Cut out 2 pieces for the bodice, 1 belt and 1 piece each for the skirt.

If the fabric is not dense and the bodice shows through, then make it two-layer.

Do not forget about 1 cm allowances and hemming of the bottom. Sew a hidden zipper into the side cut.
