SEWING:
■ Place a backrest in front of the front side to the front side, make side seams. Overlock the seams of each seam and iron on the back. Iron the bottom hem allowance onto the seamy side, stitch with a double needle at a distance of 3 cm from the front side.
■ Stitch short sections on the bando (left side seam). Iron seam allowances. Fold the bando up to half the length with the wrong side inwards, the fold lies at the top, and the lower sections are chopped off.
Mark the line of the middle of the front with the stitch stitches on the bando, the seam lies on the left side. At a distance of 5 mm from the line of the middle of the front, lay lines on the bandeau, pick up the bandeau in the middle to a length of 5 cm.
The longitudinal sections of the plank are ironed alternately to the wrong side on
1 cm wide. The width of the strip in the finished form is 1 cm. Place the strip along the line of the middle of the front over the assembly, leave the upper end of the strip protruding. Stitch the bar to the edge. Unscrew the protruding end of the strip on the wrong side and pin it to the lower sections of the bandeau.
■ Stitch the lower sections of the bandeau to the upper sections of the front and back, aligning the left side seams. Neaten seam allowances together and iron down.
■ Fold the tie in half along the front side inwards. Lay a stitch at a distance of 7 mm from the fold. Turn the tie out, tie a bow and sew it at the lower end of the bando strap.

Advice

■ Parts for bando can be cut from the same fabric.
■ You can convert a pattern to a bando pattern to a pattern of two whole-cut parts: the front and back (see the technical drawing of the back). In addition, you can not pick up the bandeau in the middle of the front, but pass the elastic band into the drawstring made along the upper edge of the bandeau. To do this, double-fold the hem along the upper edge, stitch it, leaving a hole in the seam for threading the elastic tape, then manually sew the hole.Do not forget to specify the length of the elastic tape!
■ The slide show shows photos of models from the collections of different designers that may inspire you to perform other outfits on this pattern, including evening ones. To do this, you can choose more spectacular and expensive fabrics, lengthen the lower edge of the bandeau, add flounces along the lower edge, complement the bandeau with a similar obi belt (model from Givenchy) or combine three skirts (or a peplum and two skirts) ... Or add a pelerine to the bandeau. Imagine!
