Russian sundresses, especially festive ones, consisted of many elements, therefore they were very heavy.
Today, a sundress is not only a part of the national Russian costume, it is a universal element of the women's wardrobe. First of all, a sundress is associated with light summer clothes intended for relaxing at sea. But depending on the style, model and fabric, sundresses are casual, elegant and festive for an evening out, for example, business dresses that will be appropriate even in the office, as well as sports and warm for the cold season.
Three ways to sew a summer dress without a pattern
What fabrics are better to sew sundresses from?
Absolutely from any fabric. The selected model and season for which it is planned to sew a sundress will become the starting point for making a decision when choosing a material. Jersey, cotton, blended and lightweight woolen fabrics are perfect for the off-season. For the winter - woolen and knitted fabrics.
And if we talk about summer models of sundresses, then the ideal fabric is, of course, silk, chiffon, linen, cambric, viscose, staple.
So that the summer sundress made of chiffon or cambric does not shine through, sew it in two layers, or on a monophonic lining of a suitable color to the main fabric. Stitch the details with a French seam, which will emphasize the delicacy of the fabric and provide the wrong side of the product.
How to process seams and tucks in thin and transparent fabrics
To process the seams of a sundress made of viscose and linen, use a zigzag stitch on a sewing machine, or an overlock.
How to choose a pattern
Depends on your experience. If you are just starting your journey into the world of sewing, choose simple patterns and simple fabrics, for example, an A-silhouette or a straight cut on thin spaghetti straps, from the details there is only a shelf and a back and a section of plain linen.
