Some wardrobe ideas from the 1950s returned to fashion this year. Perhaps the most striking and non-fading trends can be attributed to a variety of models of chiffon blouses, both of simple cut and with decorative elements: ribbons, cuffs, collars, frills and others. Equally relevant are both plain material and decorated with a catchy print: in animal style (leopard, tiger), romantic floral or in delicate small peas, giving the girl lightness and elegance. A more budgetary option, but not at all losing, would be chiffon blouses sewn with their own hands.
This airy, almost weightless material is easy to find in all departments of fabrics and sewing accessories, and the main advantage will be that the blouse will literally be sewn on you. Size, texture, color and decor - it all depends on your imagination and desire to emphasize the best sides of your figure. In addition, patterns of blouses from chiffon, you can always find in the magazines for needlework. Self-made clothing will always be much more profitable, even if you compare it with wardrobe purchased in expensive boutiques. And not only because she will be made with love for herself and female nature, but also because it will be the only instance in the world.
Getting to work
So, for starters, you need to choose one of the many options for patterning blouses from chiffon, according to which it will be possible to calculate the amount of material needed, choose a color, the presence or absence of a print and small sewing accessories. For example, a shirt of simple cut with an average length of 52 cm, decoration of sleeves-lanterns and a small collar will be very romantic and feminine. Chiffon, choose black and small white polka dots. This option is suitable for long skirts, and trousers, and even for short jeans shorts, which also do not leave the fashionable Olympus in the summer season. And to emphasize your
wasp waist, you will need to make four high grooves from the bottom of the product to the chest level, two in front and behind. To improve the pattern of chiffon blouses, you can make it a little longer to easily tuck into pants or decorate with a thin belt.
So, we buy material with dimensions of 1.7 (2) * 1.5 meters (you can even buy two colors to decorate the cuffs of the sleeves and the collar with the second cut), + 5-6 suitable buttons, non-woven fabric and thin elastic band. Next, we find a pattern for the pattern of blouses from the chiffon of the well-known magazine "Burda" and transfer it to the fabric, in no case forgetting about allowances.
Some work secrets
To prevent the chiffon from sliding on the table, we spread a linen or other dense tablecloth under it, and to save the cut, cut it in one layer. We put a pattern on top, but do not pin it, but press it with weights, since chiffon is a capricious fabric that is easily injured. For the same reason, we choose a thin machine needle and similar, but durable (preferably silk) threads. The stitch width should be made no more than 2 mm so that the fabric holds tightly and subsequently does not creep.
