As an element of the cut of clothes, this is a cutting part to which the main part is sewn. The coquette happens not only at a skirt, but also at a shirt, trousers. This is also the name for the flyaway part of outer clothing located on the back - on a jacket, raincoat, park. It allows you to modify clothes, improve the fit on the figure, hide some flaws. This item of clothing, like the coquette-woman, shows the best, hides flaws. This is especially true for outerwear. A skirt with a yoke is a direct proof of this.

But for needlewomen who want to master the technique of creating beautiful things, learning is not a problem. A skirt with a yoke will consist of two or three main parts:
- the coquette itself;
- lower part;
- belt.
Are all elements required? This type of clothing, such as a skirt with a yoke, can have a belt, and can be tailored and sewn without it.
How to cut a yoke?
Each dressmaker has her own secrets of pattern building. Yes, there are certain principles of such work, the basic elements are built according to specific algorithms. But there are individual secrets that are used by those who can and love to sew clothes. For example, some dressmakers recommend a yoke for tailoring a fitted skirt along the base pattern. Such a model successfully fits the figure due to tucks and undercuts of the sides. But you can build a one-piece yoke with two side seams. This option is more suitable for models, since in addition to undercutting the part itself there will be no unnecessary seams from darts. So, in order to build a coquette pattern, it is necessary to measure three quantities:
- waist circumference
- hip girth;
- length from waist to hip line.
According to these data, it is necessary to build the basic pattern of the classic cut of the skirt, which simply should be in the arsenal of each dressmaker. Now, with the help of the basic pattern, a coquette pattern can be prepared . This is done simply. The skirt pattern is cut from the bottom to the start of tucks. The top of the tuck is joined, as if the product is already stitched. According to the resulting model, a yoke is drawn. Its length corresponds to the selected model length.
The bottom of the coquette should be drawn parallel to the resulting upper edge. Then the undercut of this part of the skirt will perfectly fit the figure. With the help of the resulting pattern, any product will sit perfectly - a long skirt on a yoke, a midi with undercuts, a short skirt in a sporty style. Moreover, the edge of the coquette can be cut as desired - toe, asymmetrically, in a circle. It can be layered, flown away.
Femininity itself
Much is said about femininity in clothing, that the hidden beckons more than the parade. And the thrilling and thrilling pleats on the hem are the most feminine detail in clothing. A half-sun skirt on a yoke looks amazing and mysterious . The pattern of such a model is easily feasible. A half-sun skirt is a pattern that is a semicircle of 180 degrees. The upper line along its length should coincide with the length of the lower edge of the yoke, the length of the ring of the half-sun pattern corresponds to the length of the flared part of the skirt.
When cutting out the details, it is necessary to make additions to the seams and bottom processing, and also do not forget about the fastener - zippers, buttons.
Whims and constancy
The skirt on the yoke is a universal model, because it is the described part that allows you to diversify the standard skirt in shape, turning it into various variations. Fashion is capricious, she loves different styles, textures of fabrics. But it is the model on the coquette that allows each time to receive different clothes on the same pattern. A similar model is suitable for different types of female figures, age. A skirt on a yoke for full - one of the possible options to visually make the complexion more elegant. Fashion, despite its frivolity and inconstancy, regularly returns skirts on a cutting yoke to the wardrobe of fashionable women.

By the way, such a model on a yoke goes to women of different complexions. After all, the fitted top of the skirt makes the waist visually slimmer compared to the detachable flared lower part that hides the fullness.
Summer T-shirts and blouses can be both tucked under the belt and worn out of the box.
