How to sew a cocoon dress: a pattern from "Gucci"

A new dress can cure a woman from depression, cheer up, make a cloudy day sunny and joyful. A dress from a famous fashion designer, sewn by his own hands, will also give confidence in his strength and his irresistibility.

The dress-cocoon ideally sits on any figure: ladies of outstanding sizes hide flaws and give the figure lightness and slenderness, give thin and fragile girls flexibility and weightlessness, low pulls in growth and slim.

The uniqueness of this dress is in a cut. Correctly matched material, as well as the length of the dress and the volume of the cocoon are able to turn every girl into a real queen. The material suitable for the dress must also match the season and the occasion when it will be worn.

The dress-cocoon, the photo of which is presented in our article, looks different in different variations.

Here is a version of the classic dress can be sewn by yourself. You will need a fabric at the rate of 2.8 length (the length of the product x 2 + allowance for the volume of the hem). The width should be equal to the width of the product x 2.2 + allowance for splendor. Based on these parameters, the fabric should be enough for sewing one dress-cocoon with a moderately lush skirt and the length to the middle of the roe.

Necessary materials

First of all, it is important to choose the material for tailoring the dress. Because of the specific cut, the fabric should be such that it holds the shape of the cocoon well below. Tweed, wool, is suitable for this. The dress will be dense and warm. If you use chiffon or silk, you can get a light and unusual design, hiding in the folds.

Pattern: construction and removal of measurements

To sew a dress-cocoon sitting on a figure is ideal, you need to take measurements:

• OSH - the circumference of the neck.
• DP - the length of the shoulder (from the neck to the shoulder line).
• SH - chest height.
• OB - girth of the hips.
• CI is the length of the product.

There are several options for tailoring the dress. You can sew a cocoon dress from Gucci, using an old knitted T-shirt. To do this, you need to perform several actions.

Stages of pattern building

1) The t-shirt is folded in half, and the measurements of the neck and shoulder are removed from it. If there are no t-shirts, then you need to take measurements and make calculations: 1/6 ОШ + 0,5 = width of throat. The resulting size is divided into 3 parts, the height of the back is obtained. To this size is added 1 cm, and the height of the neck for the shelf is obtained.

To build a shoulder, you need to lay aside 8 cm from the point of the base of the neck and perpendicular downward 2.9 cm. Through this point and through the point of the base of the neck a line is drawn, it continues on until it is along the length equal to the length of the shoulder, Measured earlier (DP).

2) A measurement of the height of the chest (VG) is postponed from the point of the base of the neck and is added up to 15 cm. Depending on the addition, the volume of the dress changes. The more the increase, the larger the product will be. For orientation on the photo on the dress an increase of 10 cm.

A horizontal line is drawn. The end of the shoulder line is connected to the horizontal line so that the resulting line passes under 45 ° to the resulting horizontal.

On the back, along the middle line, the length of the dress is laid down, aside, 1/4 of the OB is laid aside. The point that turns out, connect with the horizontal line of the chest.

3) The lines of the drawing with the drawn neck for the shelf are copied and then cut along the horizontal line of the chest. One part is attached in a mirror image to the sleeve line, the second - is attached to the side. The lines are rounded. Then from the corner of the sleeve measure 15 cm in two directions. In the points obtained, the holes of the sleeve end. Then allowances of 1 cm along all the cut lines are added. The bottom line is added from 2 to 4 cm, depending on how the edge will be handled.

When a pattern is drawn, it remains to sew the cocoon-dress.

Pattern-square

Using a simple technique, you can draw a dress-cocoon without taking measurements.

To work, you need a large sheet of paper, which will draw a pattern.

First, a rectangle 76 is drawn by 101 cm. Then the corners are cut off by the rectangles.

The upper bold horizontal line is equal to the length of the shoulder, the distance from the vertical line to the point of the beginning of the line of the shoulder is equal to the width of the chest from the point of the middle of the thorax to the point where the neck and shoulder join together.

The resulting halves are sewn first from the back, then on the chest.

To form a cut of the sleeve, sharp angles are cut off from the new shape that was obtained after sewing.

Using this method, it is easy to sew a dress-cocoon, the pattern does not need precise measurements and tracing. This dress is free, voluminous and cozy.

Features of the model

The peculiarity of this dress model is that the sleeve is all-rounder. During the construction of the pattern, the pellets of the sleeve are drawn simultaneously with the dress. You can sew a sleeve in a cocoon dress using a shoulder seam, but you do not need to draw a hard shoulder seam. In this version, the fabric easily falls on the shoulder, due to which the appearance of the cocoon is created. In the classic Gucci model, the back of the product is slightly curved forward, while the sleeve is obtained only from the front, and the cocoon is formed due to the specificity of the pattern.

Hem Dresses

Using the above pattern of patterning, you can sew a dress in which the hem is automatically wrapped down, forming a cocoon.

In order to sew a dress based on an old T-shirt, for example, you need to separately draw the bottom of the product.

For this, it is necessary to draw a trapezoid whose width on the upper base is equal to the width of the product, and the side is equal to the desired length of the hem (measured from the waist to the desired length of the product downwards). The angle of inclination of the side of the trapezoid depends on whether the bottom is luxuriant or not.

The resulting trapezium is placed with a large base downward and the lower base is divided into 4 equal sections. In each area, a triangle with a base of 3 cm and a height of 1/3 the length of the article from the waist is cut out. On the lines obtained, the sides of the triangles are sewn. Due to the fact that small pieces of fabric are cut, the hem of the dress will be wrapped down, forming a barrel-like shape. The dress-cocoon should look harmonious, therefore it is not necessary to do too many cuts - the barrel effect can be created - this hem will cut off the growth and give a roundness to the figure.

Decoration

You can decorate the dress-cocoon. The pattern from the "Gucci" contains the dimensions of only the basic elements. And to make the model unusual, you can sew, for example, pockets.

First choose the model of the pocket and its location. They can be either external or internal, lined or not. Pockets are made on the valve, concealed (in seam products), with a cut-off cask.

Recessed pocket

The most convenient option for a dress-cocoon is a slotted pocket. Make it quickly, but it looks very unobtrusive. In addition, it is convenient in such a pocket to store a trifle or a phone, due to the model of the dress, the hem of the product will not crumple.

The shape of the pocket is most often a rectangle with slightly rounded edges.

To make a slotted pocket to the product from the underside, the front part (figure) is inserted into and inscribed by the obtacks. Then the cut is made, not reaching 1 cm to the end, and on the sides oblique incisions are made. Obtachki unfolds up and down, and small triangles are spent.

After this, sacking is applied from the wrong side, which serves as the pocket itself. Sacking is superimposed on the bottom obtachku, at the same time seams are combined. The steam is then ironed and cut off.

It turns out a hidden convenient pocket.
