Construction of the base grid.

I suggest you build your own basic drawing of the base of a children's dress. In fact, finding a description of such a construction is not very easy.

Many courses focus on, somehow forgetting about. There are some nuances here that take into account the characteristics of a child’s figure.

I found several construction options (in my archives). I offer you one of them.

After constructing a drawing according to your measurements, sew a control version of the dress from ordinary (which you don’t mind) fabric to check the pattern, make changes (if necessary), and then use the pattern many times until your daughter grows up.

To start . I use basic measurements - height 80cm. - approximately 1.5 years. You simply insert your values ​​into the required formulas.

Prepare:

• measuring tape,
• a long straight ruler
• square,
• if there are rulers - patterns (for designing the armhole, neckline, hem lines and sleeve edging),
• calculator (or ready-made calculation),
• and it is best to print this page for clarity.

To build you need the following measurements(cm): Neck circumference – 25(12.5); Chest circumference – 50(25); Back length – 21; Front length – 22; Back width – 23(11.5); Front width – 24(12); Dress length – 38.

Base (drawing grid).

In the upper right corner we put point 1, from it down we draw a vertical line 1-2 - the length of the dress (38cm)

On the line from point 1 we put off the length of the back (21cm) - point 3. We divide segment 1-3 in half - point 4. From point 4 we put 1 cm down - point 5.

From point 5 we draw a horizontal auxiliary line. On it we put aside a segment 5-6 = half the width of the back (11.5 cm).

Calculation of the armhole width.

Divide the chest circumference measurement by 2 (25cm) and add a loose fit allowance of 4cm. 25+4=29cm.

The width of the armhole is equal to 1/4 of the measurement of half the chest circumference with an allowance plus 1 cm: 29/4 = 7.2 cm. + 1cm = 8.2cm.

Section 6-7 (armhole) = 8.2 cm. From points 6 and 7 we draw auxiliary lines vertically upward.

Section 7-8 = half the front width (12cm)

From point 8 draw a vertical line down. From point 2, a horizontal line towards the middle of the front (to the left). From point 3, draw an auxiliary line to the left, place point 9.

From point 9 through point 8 we draw a vertical line indicating the front length = back length +1.5 cm.

Segment 9-10 = 21 +1.5 = 22.5 cm. (in my version)

From point 10 we draw a line until it intersects with the line from point 7. From point 1 we draw a line until it intersects with the line from point 6. These are auxiliary lines.

We change the line of inclination of the middle front, taking into account the structure of the child’s figure.

To do this, on the segment 3-9 we set aside 0.5 cm to the left. – point 9a. From point 9a through point 8 we draw a line upward, the intersection point is 10a.

Divide segment 6-7 in half - point 11.

From point 11 downwards we draw a vertical line.

Back neck.

From point 1 to the left we set aside the width of the back neckline - 1/3 of the measurement of half the neck circumference plus 1 cm (5.2 cm) - point 12.

Section 12-13 = 1/3 section 1-12 (1.7cm)

Front neck.

From point 10a we set aside the width of the front neck = 1/3 of the measurement of half the circumference of the neck, plus 1 cm (5.2 cm) - point 14.

From point 10a we set aside the depth of the front neck = 1/3 of the measurement of half the neck circumference plus 1 cm. (5.2) - point 15.

At the intersection of the lines from points 1 and 6, place point 16.

The base mesh is ready.

This is what happened to me.

On this grid, next time, we will

Prepare this drawing and a good mood. I would be glad if you write about what you ended up with. And I'll make my report.

With best wishes, Elena Krasovskaya:

Dresses for girls of preschool age are made from plain fabrics and fabrics with small patterns. For this age, it is better to sew dresses that are continuous at the waist, loose from the shoulder, with pleats or flared and with yokes.

The shape of the yoke can be straight, round or curly. The yoke skirt should be full, gathered, pleated or flared.

In children's dresses, frills, flounces, folds, embroidery, appliqués, and bindweed can be used as trim. Trims on dresses are most often placed on pockets, along the bottom of the dress, along the edge of the yoke, sometimes also on the sleeves and along the neckline.

Removable collars of various shapes with edge trim with embroidery, frill or lace can be used as decoration.

To draw a drawing of the basis of a dress pattern, you need the following measurements:

Neck semicircle (Ssh) ) 14cm;

Below is a description of sewing an elegant christening dress from one of our readers.

I originally planned to make a beautiful dress for my niece that she could wear to her christening and a couple of other holidays. I liked this model for its simplicity and the ability to choose a pattern for the desired size. My niece has already slightly outgrown 92, but does not reach 98 cm (the girl is 2.5 years old). I decided to sew a little longer and chose a 98 cm pattern. As it turned out later, I did the right thing, because it fit with difficulty. I printed and cut out the patterns, for sewing I chose white chintz as the main fabric and lace as the additional upper tier of the skirt. I bought 2.5 meters of lace braid, three flower bows and 2 meters of thin braid with rhinestones. Although the pattern came with sleeves and I even cut them out, I did not sew them in. I decided that this dress would look nicer without them. I made double patterns for the body up to the waist so that the chintz would not show through and would look neater. Then I sewed all the details in them, I got patterns up to the waist in two copies. I sewed the necklines, head slits and turned the product right side out. After that, I stitched from the front side of the armhole, first folding the ends and running thin lace along the seams so that they were not noticeable. The top of the product was almost ready. I would like to note that I cut exactly according to the patterns at 98 cm, and did not make additional seam allowances. And then, when the dress was ready, it fit snugly. Therefore, if you are sewing exactly to your size, then add additional allowances so that the girl fits well. You can also slightly enlarge the neckline, sew a zipper at the back or add small buttons. In order for the child’s head to pass through without problems, it is necessary that the two halves of the back are sewn together only at the very bottom and leave a deep cut. I got a little stuck on this and had to embroider it twice, making more.
Afterwards, I started cutting out the bottom, only I decided to make the top lace layer of the skirt more fluffy and therefore did not cut it like the bottom one, but simply gathered it together and stitched it in place. I cut the bottom layer exactly according to the finished pattern. It turned out very elegant and the length was just right. I trimmed the bottom of the top lace layer with rhinestone braid. So that the threads would not be conspicuous, I sharpened them with a very thin fishing line. It was transparent and unnoticeable. I trimmed the bottom layer of the dress with lace. Then I connected the top and bottom of the dress from the inside out and machined all the edges. I wanted the bottom of the dress to somehow sparkle - for this I lightly grabbed it in an accordion and lifted the ends of the skirt in front on both sides. I sewed a white flower into the gripping areas and another one on the left chest. To make the dress look even more elegant, I bought a very wide transparent mesh ribbon with large flowers embroidered with white braid. I sewed it at the waist to the outside of the dress using hand stitches with clear thin fishing line. Due to its large size, it turned out that the top of the braid was under the bust, and the bottom went over the lace skirt. But it looked good. On the back of the slit I sewed a small button and made an air loop from white threads. But since, as I already wrote, the cut had to be lengthened, at least three buttons were needed. I finished them off later. This is where my work with the dress ended - it turned out very airy and beautiful.

You can sew many charming models of children's clothing yourself, spending very little time on their modeling. But first, you will need a basic pattern for a dress for a preschool girl, which you can build using our instructions. In the future, it can be used when modeling various styles of children's clothing - not only dresses, but also blouses, sweatshirts, bomber jackets, etc. In this lesson, we will tell you in detail how to create a pattern for the base of a shoulder product, as well as a sleeve pattern and a turn-down pattern collar to her.

Advice! The basic pattern of a shoulder product, the construction of which is given in the article, can be used to model shoulder products for girls and boys of preschool and primary school age - dresses, blouses, sweatshirts, vests, jackets, etc.

To create a pattern, you need to take the following measurements (in the example, measurements for a height of 122 cm are used):

1. Bust 61 cm
2. Length to back waist (DTS) 29 cm
3. Length to waist front (accident) 31 cm
4. Armhole depth 15 cm
5. Back width 26 cm
6. Armhole width 7.2 cm
7. Front width 26 cm
8. Shoulder length 9 cm
9. Neck circumference 30 cm
10. Hip height 12 cm
11. Back length 60 cm

Constructing a pattern for the basis of a dress for a girl

From the upper left corner of the sheet, step back 5-6 cm and place point A. From point A, draw a vertical line down, along which you place:

• AG = Armhole depth as measured + approx. = 15 cm + 1.5 cm = 16.5 cm.
• AT = Length to back waist (DTS) = 29 cm.
• TB = 12 cm (Hip height).
• AN = 60 cm (Product length according to measurements).

From points A, D, T, B and H, draw horizontal lines of arbitrary length to the right.

Grid width: from point G, draw a horizontal line of arbitrary length to the right and set aside along the horizontal line:

• GG1 = ½ Back Width by Measurement (ShS) + approx. = 26/2 + 1.5 = 13 cm + 1.5 cm = 14.5 cm.
• G1G2 = Armhole width according to measurement (Shpr) + approx. = 7.2 cm + 2 = 9.2 cm.
• G2G3 = ½ Chest Width according to measurement (SH) + approx. = 13 cm + 1.5 cm = 14.5 cm.

Draw a vertical segment through point G3; at the intersection with the horizontal lines, points B, T1, B1, H1 are obtained.

From point G1, draw a straight line upward until it intersects with line AB - point P is obtained. From point G2, draw an upward perpendicular of arbitrary length.

Side line. Divide the segment G1G2 in half - you get point G4 and from point G4 lower the side line down to line HH1 - you get point H2. Designate the point of intersection with the line TT1 with the letter T2, the point of intersection with the waist line BB1 ​​- B2.

Lifting the shelf. From point T1 up, set aside the Length to the front waist according to the measurement: T1W = 31 cm. From point W, draw a horizontal segment to the left, at the intersection with the perpendicular from point G2, point P1 is obtained.

Building a back pattern

Neckline. From point A to the right, set aside AA1 = 6 cm (1/6 of the neck circumference according to the measurement plus 1 cm for all sizes): 15/3 + 1 = 6 cm. From point A1 up, set aside A1A2 = 1.5 cm (for all sizes) and connect points A and A2 with a slightly concave line along the pattern.

Back shoulder line. From point P down, set aside 1.5 cm. From point A2 through point 1.5 (shoulder slope), draw a back shoulder line A2P2 = 10 cm (shoulder length according to measurement + 1 cm for fit).

Armhole line of the back of the dress. From point G1, dividing the angle in half, set aside 2 cm. Draw the armhole line from point P2 through the dividing point of the segment PG1, point 2 (bisector of the angle) to point G4.

Constructing a front pattern

Neckline. From point Ш, draw a front neckline cutout using a compass: ШШ1 = R = 1/6 Neck circumference according to measurement + 1 cm for all sizes): 30 cm / 6 + 1 cm = 6 cm.

Front shoulder line. From point P1 downwards, set aside 3 cm. Connect point Ш1 and point 3 with a straight line and extend it to the left. Set aside along the line the segment Ш1П3 = 9 cm = Shoulder length according to measurement.

Armhole line. Draw the bisector of the angle G2 and set aside 2 cm along it. Draw the armhole line from point P3 through the midpoint of dividing the segment 3-G2, point 2 (bisector) to point G4.

Modeling flared side seams

To model flared side seams on the base pattern of a dress for a girl, from point H2 to the left and right, set aside the required value (the measurement is not constant and may vary depending on the style of the product and the design decision). Draw the back bottom line H-H3 and the bottom line H1-H4 using smooth lines with a slight rise in the side seams.

Pattern-basis of a dress for a girl with flared side seams

Separately, copy the back and front pattern onto tracing paper and use the basic pattern for further modeling of the products.
