Sundresses in brief

There are many varieties of this type of clothing. But it is the office sundress that is strict. If it is sewn according to the figure and the right jewelry is chosen, 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 print sundress 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 by hand, then such a thing will become a favorite. In addition, if you sew clothes yourself, you will not need to overpay instore, look for a style-appropriate model that fits your figure perfectly. Therefore, today we will sew a sundress for the office according to a pattern.

Choice of model and selection of fabric

First of all, we choose for which season we will prepare the product, since the pattern of a winter dress for the office will be slightly different from the pattern of the summer one. Fabrics are also selected depending on the season. Winter outfits are preferably sewn from heavy material and have a more strict shape. Corduroy, flannelette, terry fabrics are suitable as a material for it. Next, we define the model. Consider the stages of tailoring the winter version.

Beginning of preparatory work

Since the choice of model has already been made, the next step is to make a pattern of a sundress for the office and prepare all the necessary tools and materials. For the job you will need paper, a pencil, fabric, lining, a sewing machine, large sewing scissors, needles and pins, thread, chalk or a bar of soap, an iron, a measuring tape, and a simple ruler. You also need to think about what the fastener will be, based on this, purchase 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 using the model, using a pencil and a ruler, we independently draw a pattern of a sundress for the office.

Proceed to tailoring the product

Based on the constructed patternsundress for the office, cut out one half of the front of the future product from the lining materials, and then cut out the back half also from the lining material. Now we do the same with the main material and the second halves. You should have 2 fronts and 2 backs from the main fabric, and the same from the lining fabric.

What's next? Using an iron, we connect the main parts with the lining. We sew on the sides in front and back of the product. With the help of a sewing machine, we sew from the wrong side of the fold on the back, not reaching the third part to the bottom. Now you need to connect the upper part with the lower one, we sew these parts manually, leaving a few centimeters for allowances. Determine the place where the lightning will be located.

For such a sundress, a secret lock is ideal. Gently manually sew the zipper between the back tops. We do a preliminary fitting, adjusting the length, sleeve, neck. If everything suits, then with the help of a sewing machine we sew the outlined parts. We also process the edges of the sleeves, armholes and neckline.

We attach a zipper, and then connect the lining and braid from a hidden zipper. We glue the lining with an iron. If instead of a zipper there are buttons, hooks, loops and other elements, then prepare places for them in advance.

Thus, following a simple pattern of a sundress for the office, we have sewn an indispensable item in the wardrobe for every lady. By addingaccessories for this dress can add variety to a strict office style.
