Each year, the leading fashion designers of our time not only introduce incredible innovations and additions to our wardrobe, but also return once forgotten elements. This happened this season, because along with a daring combination of silk and leather, an abundance of dresses with Basques and lace trim, flying chiffon blouses with numerous ruffles and ribbons, dresses in the floor and with an asymmetrical hem returned to fashion.
Of course, not every woman can get a real couture thing in her wardrobe, and therefore talented ladies can sew a dress with their own hands. A photo in a glossy magazine can suggest ideas. The simplicity of cut and elegance of the decor is something that is accessible not only to designers, but also to the hostess with minimal needlework skills. In addition, this option, in addition to budgeting, has a number of other advantages: many hours of shopping, exhausting and emptying the wallet, are behind, because there is nothing better than making a long dress for your beloved in a relaxing home environment.

And if needlework is some problem for you, and you are wondering about how to sew a dress from chiffon with your own hands, then the answer will appear by itself. So, for starters, we choose in the fabric and sewing accessories store your favorite material in delicate colors (this year, small peas and animal prints are in fashion again), suitable threads and decor elements at your discretion. The most successful acquisitions would be a narrow strap of bright color and long beads. And then follow the simple instructions on how to sew a dress of chiffon.
Sewing
We take four measurements: the distance between the shoulders, the chest circumference, the length of the skirt of the future product (we measure from the waist) and the height of the shelf (from shoulder to waist). First, on a fabric spread out in one layer, mark a rectangle, the smaller side of which should be equal to the last value, and the larger side is your chest circumference + 20 cm. Fold it in half so as to preserve the length of the product, and in the resulting new rectangle draw a diagonal from the outer right corner to the fold, gradually rounding the line. Further from the same point we retreat 10 cm inward. We lower the perpendicular to the intersection with the line obtained a little earlier. The skirt is ready. The remaining material is folded in half, take your favorite
short T-shirt and circle it taking into account the height of the shelf. Cut and sew the shoulders and sides. Now we sew the skirt, making a 20-25 cm overlap in front, and process all the edges. At the junction of the two parts, you can also insert an elastic band to create a fitted option. So, now you know exactly how to sew a dress of chiffon with your own hands with virtually no patterns and extra dimensions. Wear it with pleasure.
