What to wear? Almost every woman asks herself this question every morning, intending to leave home. But if the work involves a dress code, then the issue of choosing clothes is complicated. The outfit for the office employee includes strict trousers, shirts, suits, business dresses. But every woman wants to dilute such a wardrobe of the same type with something interesting. For example, a sundress will be a worthy alternative to a dress. Indeed, under it you can wear various blouses, shirts, add interesting accessories, thereby changing your image every day.
Briefly about sundresses
There are many varieties of this type of clothing. But it is the office sundress that is strict. If you sew it in a figure and choose the right jewelry, then such an outfit will allow its owner to look feminine and attractive, despite the strict office style.
In the summer, on vacation, a light chintz dress will be the highlight of your wardrobe. The classic model will be ideally combined with a blouse and is suitable for work in the office. In cold weather, a warm fleece sundress will become indispensable in the wardrobe, and if it was made with one's own hand, then such a thing will become a favorite. In addition, if you sew clothes yourself, you will not need to overpay in the store, look for a suitable model in style that fits perfectly in the figure. Therefore, today we will be sewing a sundress for the pattern office.
Model selection and fabric selection
First of all, we choose for what season we will prepare the product, since the pattern of the winter sundress for the office will be slightly different from the summer pattern. Fabrics are also selected depending on the season. Winter outfits are preferably sewn from heavy material and have a more strict form. As a material for it fit velveteen, flannelette, terry fabrics. Next, we determine the model. Consider the stages of tailoring the winter version.
Start of preparatory work
Since the choice of model has already been made, the next step will be to make a sundress pattern for the office and prepare all the necessary tools and materials. For work, you will need paper, pencil, fabric, lining, sewing machine, large sewing scissors, needles and pins, threads, chalk or a bar of soap, iron, tape measure and a simple ruler. Also, you need to think about what the fastener will be, on the basis of this, to get a zipper, buttons, buttons or something else.
Now you need to take a paper pattern for a warm
sundress for the office and transfer it to the main fabric, as well as to the lining material. If it was not possible to purchase a similar one for your model, then we independently draw a sundress pattern for the office using a pencil and a ruler.
We pass to tailoring of a product
Based on the constructed sundress pattern for the office, we cut one half of the front of the future product from the lining materials, and then cut the back half also from the lining material. Now do the same with the base material and the second halves. You should get 2 front parts and 2 back parts from the main type of fabric, and the same thing - from lining fabric.
What's next? Using an iron, we connect the main parts with the lining. Sew on the sides of the front and back of the product. With the help of a sewing machine we scribble the seams on the back side, not reaching the bottom of the third part. Now you need to connect the upper part to the bottom, sew these parts manually, leaving a few centimeters for allowances. We determine the place where the lightning will be located.
A secret lock is ideal for such a sundress. Gently manually sew the zipper between the back upper parts. We do a preliminary fitting, adjusting the length, sleeve, neck. If everything suits, then with the help of a sewing machine we sew the sketched parts. We also process the edges of the sleeve, armholes and neckline.
Attach the zipper, and then connect the lining and braid from the hidden zipper. We glue the lining with an iron. If instead of lightning there will be buttons, hooks, loops and other elements, then prepare places for them in advance.
Thus, following a simple pattern of a dress-sundress for the office, we sewed an indispensable thing in the wardrobe for every lady. Adding accessories to such a dress, you can add variety to the strict office style.
