How to make a nightcap so that no one understands that it is not shop?

The finest delicate silk and laceless weightless lace are simply created in order to emphasize exquisite female forms. All girls like beautiful underwear, negligee and nightie - this is a fact. And as always happens with true love, without difficulties it does not do. Looking at the cost of decent clothes, sometimes you understand that it's easier to love from a distance. And there is no sense in judging whether the high cost is justified. It is much better to look at it with irony, draw an analogy with unrequited love and make your love with your own hands. Yes, you can sew a nightclub yourself as in a store, picking up similar fabrics and laces. But if you completely trust your imagination, you can create a unique thing.

Lack of experience is not a hindrance

How to sew a nightie without the slightest idea how to start? There would be a desire, and experience is a gain! Of course, here you can not do without a step-by-step guide. But before you start the practical part, a little general theory does not hurt.

Choosing a fabric, you should give preference to thin canvases. Excellent look at nightclubs, but they do not fit budget crepe satin. Yes, outwardly it looks very presentable, and even shimmers like an atlas, however this cloth is too dense and will look rough in the product. The ideal option is silk, natural or artificial. You can also choose a thin satin, chiffon or guipure. No less interesting will be the combination of different textures of canvases. A great example is a silk nightcap with lace.

We take measurements

Remove the measurements from the figure for sewing any product is as necessary as trying on shoes before you buy it. Nothing traveling from the idea to make a pattern nightwear "by eye" will not work. Therefore, using a centimeter tape measure parameters such as:

• Breast volume;
• Chest height;
• Grout solution;
• Length of backrest and transfer to waist;
• Width of back;
• length of the product.

These measures are used to build a basic pattern. Naughty girl is modeled on the template, applying shaped lines to the drawing. Here you can think over all the decorative openwork inserts and draperies, draw a line of the cut-off chest, outline the neckline and place of joining the lace from the lace. Also on the base pattern it's easy to measure the length of the straps. This is much more convenient than measuring them with a centimeter tape on the figure. Therefore, to sew a nightcap as it should, you need all the elements of the cut and draw all the details on the base template.

Basic grid of the template

To ensure that the finished pattern is not crumpled and not torn at hand, it is best to make it from a construction film. It is worth a penny and is sold in any store of building materials. Draw on it is best a permanent marker.

First build a basic grid, then draw the elements of the cut.

• Begin the drawing with the construction of a right angle, where the vertical is the length of the product, and the horizontal is half the measure "chest volume".
• The angle is closed in a rectangle.
• The upper horizontal line is divided into three zones: the back - ½ measure "back width"; Armhole - half of the chest girth, divided by four + 2 cm; Breasts - without calculations.
• From the middle of the armhole zone, an auxiliary vertical is carried out, which will serve as a guide for the side seam.
• According to the "chest height" measure, the horizontal is built. This is the line of the chest.
• From the points defining the zone of the back, armholes and the transmission, the perpendiculars to the second horizontal line in the drawing are lowered.
• From the upper left corner of the rectangle, go down to a distance equal to the measurement of "the length of the back to the waist." And spend perpendicular to the auxiliary vertical.
• Similar actions are made from the upper right corner of the rectangle using the value of the measurement "length to the waist". And also spend perpendicular.
• The resulting lines are joined by a smooth curve, making it on the right half of the rectangle. This will be the waist line. The more breasts, the lower it will be on the front panel.
• At 20 cm below the waist have a line of thighs.

The base mesh of the template is ready.

Elements of cut

The next stage of the construction of the pattern is the determination of the darts of the chest, the formation of the lateral seam and the drawing of the details.

• On the line of the chest from the right vertical retreat 1/2 measure "solution of the darts chest" and from the point up the perpendicular out.
• Further, two points are found: one is located on the border line of the armhole and is transferred 5 cm below the upper horizontal; The second is 7 cm to the left of the right upper corner of the triangle and 2 cm above the upper horizontal. The points are connected by a straight line.
• Then they refine the tuck of the breast. To do this, from the intersection of the newly paved line and the perpendicular raised from the starting point of "1/2 solution of the tufts of the chest," retreat 3-4 cm and lower the line to the starting point.
• To form a lateral seam along the hip line from the left and right verticals, place 1/2 "girth of the hips" + 2 cm in a free fit. Further through this point from the middle of the armhole to the bottom of the product draw a straight or curved at the waist side seam.

At this stage, the template is ready to draw details. The case for small: draw a cutout of breasts and straps.

A little about tricks

How to sew a nightcap, so it was neat and nothing betrayed that it is not a factory product? First of all, before assembling parts with a machine seam, they must be swept away. The side sections are best covered with a linen suture and do not use a zig-zag. Ideally, it should be an overlock. Before you spend lace, the edges of the slices of the main fabric should be swept or tucked. Elements of lace are first better sewn by hand, and then adjusted with a stitch "zig-zag" with a small width and medium pitch.
