When you put on a dress or skirt, it always turns out that they are longer in front and shorter in the back? Change the pattern, and everything will be as it should!
YOU SHOULD KNOW ITBefore starting to change the pattern, ask someone to help you accurately take measurements from your figure. Tie a rep tape on the waist and take 3 measurements from the tape to the floor: along the lines of the middle of the front and back and from one side. Subtract from side measure
1 cm and compare the front and back measures with it. The resulting difference is the desired number: it is for this number of centimeters that you need to change the pattern.
The front panel / front is shortened like this:
On the paper pattern of the front panel of the skirt, draw a horizontal auxiliary line through the top of the tuck (1).
Cut the pattern along the drawn line, slightly not reaching the lateral edge, and also cut the tuck depth exactly along the midline almost to the cut. Evenly layered
Live parts of the pattern one on top of the other from the midline to the tuck by the desired number of centimeters. From the tuck to the lateral edge, lay the parts of the pattern on top of each other
the other in the shape of the wedge and glue, while one vertical edge of the tuck should go on the other (2).
On a paper pattern in front of the dress, draw a horizontal
auxiliary line approx. 10 cm below the waistline and then
a vertical line at a distance from the midline front equal to
1/8 hip circumference + 3 cm (3).
Cut the pattern along the drawn horizontal line almost to the side edge and along the vertical line from the bottom edge of the pattern almost to the horizontal cut. Horizon
stick the other edges of the parts of the pattern on each other in the same way as on the pattern of the front panel of the skirt, while one vertical edge of the cut should go to the other. Measure how much, and add this number of centimeters along the lateral edge of the pattern.
The rear panel / back is shortened as follows:
On the paper pattern of the back panel of the skirt, draw an auxiliary horizontal line of approx. 16 cm below the waistline, and then a vertical line between the side edge of the pattern and the tuck line (5).
Cut the pattern in a horizontal line from the line of the middle of the back almost to the side
edges and in a vertical line from the upper edge of the panel to almost a horizontal line. Evenly add the required number of centimeters from the mid-back line to
vertical section and overlay the upper part of the pattern on a fitted strip obliquely from the vertical section to the lateral edge of the pattern. Moreover, the vertical
The necessary second tuck (6) is formed in the cut.
On the paper pattern of the back of the dress, draw an auxiliary
horizontal line approx. 16 cm below the waistline, and then a vertical line at a distance from the mid-back line equal to 1/8 of the hips + 3 cm (7).
Cut the pattern and add the required number of centimeters in the same way as on the back panel of the skirt, while the edges of the vertical section will diverge to the sides.Measure by how much, and accordingly reduce the width of the back along the side edge of the pattern (8).
