When working in the office, be sure to adhere to business style, as required by the corporate rules of many companies in order to maintain the image of the company. Therefore, the pattern of sundresses for the office is useful for craftswomen who sew clothes for themselves and to order. The simplest version of such a wardrobe item is a sheath dress, for sewing which a regular pattern of a fitted or straight silhouette is used.

The whole process of creating a sundress for the office can be divided into several main stages, overcoming which, you will create a great formal outfit.

Stage one: taking measurements

In order for the pattern of sundresses for the office to fit in size, it must be built based on your own measurements. This is precisely the beauty of individual tailoring, because things that are sold on the market and in the store are sewn according to generally accepted standard volumes. And, as you know, they are not alwaysmatch the actual shapes. That is why girls have to try on a huge number of dresses in order to find the one that fits perfectly on the figure.

So, to build a template, you need the following measurements:

• bust, waist, hips, neck;
• back width;
• breast tuck solution;
• shoulder width;
• chest height;
• length back and front to waist.

Step two: building a blank drawing

The pattern of a warm sundress for the office and the summer version are built identically, the only difference is the allowance for a loose fit. For a summer product, 1 cm is added to the chest measurement, and 2 cm for a warm one.

The drawing is developed on the basis of a quadrilateral with sides corresponding to 1/2 of the chest volume + an increase in the length of the product. Horizontally in the drawing, you should immediately mark the height of the chest, waist, hips and draw lines that form an auxiliary grid.

Next, the pattern of sundresses for the office is detailed according to individual measurements:

• along the chest line from one edge lay 1/2 measurements of the "width of the back", and on the other - 1/2 of the value of the tuck solution;
• from the obtained points, straight lines are raised at an angle of 90 degrees to the upper border of the rectangle;
• in the corners at the top of the figure on both sides lay 1/4 measurements of the girth of the neck, and from the marks a little with a slope draw the shoulder seams;
• 3-5 cm recede from the line of intersection of the raised mark “solution of tucks” along the front canvas (depending onfrom the size of the tuck for the chest), make a mark and draw the second line of the tuck;
• extend the shoulder seam of the front shelf by a distance equal to the tuck of the tuck;



• determine the armhole area by dividing 1/2 of the chest volume by 4 and set aside the value from the measurement point "1/2 back width", then make the appropriate roundings, connecting the shoulder seams with a smooth line running along the chest line;
• through the center of the armhole zone, the perpendicular is lowered to the lower border of the rectangle;
• determine the difference between the volume of the chest and waist, and the value is distributed in the side seams and two darts on the back and front;
• receive 1/4 measurements of the hips from the sides of the rectangle and draw a curved side seam.

At this stage, the main pattern of sundresses for the office is ready. It can already be used for sewing products from thick and thin fabrics.

Modeling and construction

The blank can be changed by adding embossed seams. To do this, the pattern of sundresses for the office is drawn in accordance with the desired lines, and then cut into elements. In this way, you can mark the borders for combining different colors of fabric, or simply make seams and stitch them beautifully.

Step three: cutting and assembly

How to cut a summer and winter sundress for the office? The pattern should be built taking into account the allowance for a free fit, which is added not only along the chest line, but also along the hips and waist. Otherwise, the product will hinder movement. exceptionit can only be fabric with elastane or knitwear. For the rest, open the standard one. An allowance is made along the contour of the parts for processing seams: along the hem - 4 cm, and along the seams - 1 cm. If the fabric is very loose, then the allowance can be increased.

To make the product easy to put on, it is better to make it with a zipper. To do this, you can use a tractor or secret lock 75 cm long. It should be inserted into the middle seam of the back, on which you can also make a cut for a comfortable step. You can also make a dress narrowed down, a sundress for the office. Patterns in this case are narrowed along the side seam from the hip line to the hem by about 5 cm.

Stage Four: Decoration

A completely easy-to-build blank in combination with a calm fabric will make the product strict, and in order to somewhat improve the image, it needs to be properly decorated. For example, embroider it at the neckline with discreet stones to match the main fabric, or make a lace or contrasting collar. It will also look good to have a thin belt at the waist, for which you definitely need to make belt loops. Such a product can be worn with a thin mesh under the throat or a plain tight knitted T-shirt.

Tips on choosing fabrics and patterns

The simpler the silhouette, the richer you can choose the material. And it's not just about color, it's about texture. Embossed weaving of the canvas is ideal for a calm sundress. The product with embroidery across the material field will look original. Such a sundress is notyou will need to decorate and complement with vertical seams with trim. The simplest dress pattern for the office is suitable here.

"Burda" is one of the magazines on sewing, which quite often uses such techniques with a minimum amount of detail and maximum saturation of the fabric. It is these wardrobe items that, as a rule, become the most beloved, because there is nothing superfluous in them.
