At all times, dresses and skirts occupy a special place in the wardrobe of every woman, because it is these elements of clothing that have an undeniable advantage in impressing men and, in the end, make the girl elegant, attractive and romantic.
It can be short flirty pieces, and classic long ones “on the floor”, and mischievous midi, and solid “pencil skirts” in a set of a business suit. Leather, spandex, knitwear, velveteen - all these are autumn-winter options, and silk, linen, cotton and chiffon always remain summer. They are easily combined with all other materials, suitable for both T-shirts and lace blouses,
denim jackets and vests. Moreover, there is nothing easier than to sew a skirt of chiffon. The obvious advantages of this material include a virtually weightless flying texture, incredibly pleasant to the touch, a variety of pastel shades, as well as a relatively low price and ease of cutting. And they easily cover small flaws: the flowability of the material, which requires edge treatment, and also quite strong transparency, because of which things from it require the presence of a lining or layering, but in any case it will be much cheaper to sew
a chiffon skirt with your own hands.We sew a skirt ourselves
Every year, delicate chiffon skirts and dresses with a maxi, mini and even asymmetrical hem remain in fashion. A special place among them is occupied by pleated versions “on the floor”. They are not worn in order to hide figure defects, but, on the contrary, emphasize the smooth curves of a graceful female body. To sew a long chiffon skirt, you will need, of course, a fairly large amount of material. However, it will be worth it, because such a simple element of clothing is successfully combined with wide-brimmed hats and belts, and from shoes - with high sandals, shoes and even traditional sandals. The option will look very sexy if you sew a chiffon skirt with high slits in front. To do this, you need to buy the material itself and a wide elastic band for the belt, measure the half-circumference of the waist, hips and, in fact, the length of the product. We lay out the chiffon in one layer and draw two rectangles on the wrong side: the first with the sides equal to the half-circumference of the hips and the length of the skirt, and the second - twice as wide (a whole circumference of the hips).
All free edges should be processed in advance, and then sew them to the finished gum belt. So, in order to sew a chiffon skirt from pre-prepared parts, you will need to notice, and then stitch on a sewing machine, first a narrower rectangle, and then a wide one. Moreover, it is necessary to do this so that the edges of the wide cover a narrow one of about 3-5 cm from each side.
Other options
For other patterns, however no more difficult, you can sew a “sun” skirt of chiffon or a short skirt of smooth material. If it is difficult for you to make it in several layers, then you can cut out a lining from artificial silk of a neutral color and stitch it from the inside of the product. In the case of a maxi skirt, you should do it to the knees so that your graceful legs do not remain hidden from the admiring glances of men and the bright summer sun.
