Recently, more and more girls have decided on this decisive step - to prepare independently the main outfit in life.
We will try to do it competently, quickly, at the lowest cost.
Assessing the pros and cons of your figure in the mirror
The main task of the bride at the wedding is to be beautiful! The slightest miscalculation in the image is able to knock the impressionable bride out of the saddle. So - we think over the outfit to the smallest detail.
Let's start by recognizing our shortcomings and identifying advantages.
Stand barefoot to a vertical surface, press against it with shoulder blades and heels:
- If you are comfortable in this position, then you have normal posture.
- If the back of the head is pressed hard, you have to bend your neck for this - it means you have a stooped figure.
- Provided that the shoulder blades do not “want” to touch the wall, we can talk about an inflexible figure.
- A circle. This type is also called an apple.
- Triangle (there are two types of them, depending on the position of the base of the triangle). The figure - a triangle with the base down is also called a pear.
- Hourglass.
- The rectangle .
Advice! Before sewing, be sure to visit several stores, try on dresses of various cuts, perhaps a style that you did not even think about will suit you. It will remain to bring it to life.

We sew a simple wedding dress with our own hands
A short trapezoid dress made of sewing or lace is suitable for a young bride.
In combination with a short veil, or even a floral wreath instead, this outfit will look very fresh.

Advice! If you will not use a ready-made oblique trim for processing the neck and armholes of the sleeves, then you need to make a trim pattern.
How to independently build a pattern of a similar dress using a base pattern:
We cut the base vertically along the tuck line.
Working process:
- We place the details on the prepared fabric, taking into account the shared thread, and chalk it.
- We carry out the same operations with the product from the lining fabric, it will be sewn separately, only the shoulder seams, the neck and armhole will be sewn together.
- We cut out.
- We sew side seams.
- We sew the middle seam of the back, leaving 20-25 cm for the zipper.
- We chop off the details of the cover and the main product.

Important! Iron each seam through the iron, if this allows fabric to be made.
- We process the armholes and the neck with a slanting inlay.
- We hem the hem.

Advice! If desired, you can cut the sleeves according to the main pattern, since our actions did not affect the armhole and sleeve.
The second option for making a dress can be a set consisting of a removable corsage and a fluffy skirt. The connection line can be emphasized, or, conversely, hidden under a wide belt.
Would need:
- Biflex, knitwear, any elastic fabric for a corsage of a suitable shade - the quantity with a fabric width of 150 cm is usually equal to the height of the corsage.
- Tulle, tulle or guipure for a skirt - about 4 lengths of a product on a two-layer skirt.
- Rubber.
- Bra, body, cups for the chest or just bones - choose yourself what suits you best.
- Accessories by choice.
We model the corsage according to the pattern-basis.
The skirt is half-sun or the sun, in the latter case, the fabric consumption is doubled.
The pattern of the "solar" skirt is built according to this drawing:
- Your task is to choose which particular skirt you want, measure the half-waist, as well as the length of the skirt.
- We calculate the radius of the thallium circle; for this, we multiply the half-circumference of the waist by a coefficient, select it from the table above the figure.
- On a sheet of whatman paper or wallpaper, we construct a right angle, we measure our radius from the left corner.
- Draw a circle.
- We measure the required length of the skirt, draw a second circle.
- Correct the bottom.
- Pattern is ready.
- We cut out the details. Do not forget the seam allowances.
- Sweep the reliefs.

- Sew the side seam / seams. We leave a little space for a zipper.
- Stitch the zipper.
- Sew on a belt.
- The bottom of the tulle skirt can not be processed.
