No less interesting will look simple batistovoe or denim dress-shirt on the girdle without additional decorative elements and even without thawed darts.

Building a Pattern

To make a template, you need a buildingFilm or paper, ruler, centimeter tape, scissors, marker or pen. The construction of the dress pattern begins with the removal of the measurements from the figure. You will need the basic girths: chest, waist, hips. You will also need to measure the width of the back, chest height, back height and pass to the waist and shoulder width.

The construction of the dress pattern can be divided into several stages:

1. Create a basic drawing grid.
2. Drawing of the main transmission lines and backrests.
3. Construction of a sleeve on the armhole.

Creating a Basic Grid

On paper or a building filmThe vertical, equal to the length of the product from the shoulder and to the bottom of the hem. Perpendicular to her mark the shoulder line, the chest (according to the measurement of the height of the chest), the waist (according to the measurement of the height of the back and passing to the waist), the hips (below the waist line by 20 cm) and the bottom of the product.

Perpendiculars should be equal to the girth of the chest. At the completion of the horizontal lines, a second vertical line is laid. Next, go to the breast line and lay 1/2 measurement "back width", from the point raise the perpendicular to the shoulder line. After determine the width of the armhole. For this, the half-mantle of the chest is divided into four and added 2 cm. The resultant value is postponed after the previously noted point (1/2 the width of the back). The perpendicular is also lifted from the received mark. Thus, on the grid, three zones emerged: the back, armhole and shelf.

The application of the main transmission lines and backrests

Once the basic grid is defined fortemplate, you can refine the small parts in the drawing. On the line of the shoulders from the left and right angles retreat 7-8 cm and denote the neck. For the backrest (at the left vertical) it is deepened by 3 cm, and for the shelf (at the right vertical) by 7-8 cm. The pattern of the dress-shirt can be constructed without darts on the back and chest, so you can immediately begin to design the shoulder seam and armholes. To do this, from the point of the neckline, draw a line equal to the "shoulder width" measurement. It is underestimated from the original mark by about 1.5 cm. Next, on the chest line in the armhole area, the middle is found, and on the vertical raised from the mark "1/2 width of the back", mark 1/3 of the armhole height and through these points draw a smooth line armhole on the side of the back.

Shoulder line from the chest should be 2 cmbelow, therefore, before it is laid, determine the boundary, where it should fall. Also, at the level of 1/3 of the vertical, a point is put along which the armhole for the transfer is drawn to the middle of the armhole zone on the chest line.

Next, go to the waist line. First, the perpendicular from the middle point of the armhole zone is lowered to it, after that the perpendicular on the waist line is receded 2-3 cm and the side cut is drawn. As a rule, the pattern of a dress-shirt is built without trailing tucks, but only with small smooth curves along the side cut.

Perpendicular from the middle of the armhole zone extend tothigh lines. After the horizontal, from the left and right verticals, place ½ "girth of hips" + 1 cm in a free fit. Then the lateral section is modified. Usually the details of the transmission and the backrest in the drawing are found on each other, so when cutting a template from one side, it will be necessary to glue the cut off part at the hip level.

Construction of a sleeve on the armhole

Pattern dress-shirt can be with a sleeve andwithout him. It is constructed quite simply, if you know a few basic rules. Using the lower edge of the armhole, draw a circle, which is raised 1.5 cm at the top. Next, along the chest line, a hand girth + 4 cm is marked in the center and the sleeves are inserted into the extremities of the delayed segment. The length of the sleeve can be any.

A pattern can be used fortailoring of any dress. To make it look like a shirt, you should make it with the fasteners on the buttons along the middle line of the gear. The main thing is not to forget to give an allowance for the design of loops and sewing on buttons.
