A simple straight silk dress that has long been hanging in a closet without a case, can find a completely new life if you alter it, for example, in the night shirt.
I often give a second chance to things that have lost their relevance, came out of fashion or just tired, sewing something else from them. This is especially true of those products that are sewn from good fabrics.
So one of my favorite summer dresses gained a new life, becoming a silk nightgown. And the alteration turned out to be minimal. I changed only the upper part of the dress, overlooking it on the pattern of the sundress, while the side seams and the bottom of the dress remained unchanged.
For alteration you will need:
✂ Pattern of simple sundress on thin straps (preferably without pulp);
✂ Cutting scissors for silk;
✂ Portnovsky chalk;
✂ Portnovo pins for thin tissues;
✂ Rulebook
STEP 1
Cut the sleeves and disperse the shoulder seams.
Restore.
Step 2.
Fold the dress with an inside side inside, aligning the side seams.
Step 3.
Verify the pattern of the shelf and the backrest of the sundhan on the appropriate dresses.
Side seams do not break down!
If there is a small discrepancy in the pattern on the side seams, as in the photo, it will be possible to adjust it during the first fitting.
Step 4.
Call the parts only on the lines of the upper cuts, while the cutout is rapid.
Step 5.
From the residues, pick up oblique bey.
Step 6.
Pick up one bit in the size of the outline of the transfer.
Fold it in half the invalid side inside and affect.
Remove the bay shape, repeating the shelf cutout, using an iron.
Step 7.
Endress bay cutout.
Mustle.
Step 8.
The rest of the faces are with each other in one.Step 9.
Operate a long bay sections of the arm and backs, leaving the long ends loose.
Step 10.
The free ends of the faces - straps.
Perform fittings and adjust the length of the straps.
The ends of the straps are manually to the edged back of the back.
Ready!
