Mm M-M-Dream! Where to find? Where to go for the purchase?
Cute ladies, go to the store of fabrics! If you want to have a really unique Greek dress!
Your goal is light flowing fabrics (Muslin, satin, silk, jersey, slim knitwear, velvet). The fabric should be fluid, thin, easily fit into soft folds and not very sprawling.
By the way, note that among these fabrics you can find those that will not crumble on the cut, then you will not need to see the edges to process the edges after sewing.
The length of the cut must be at least 3m.
So, we will create a dress yourself, and without any patterns !!
Don't you have a typewriter? And she will not need us and do not need it!
Have you ever sewed anything? And the Greek dress does not need to be "sewing" in the generally accepted understanding of this word (with drawings of the patterns, swelling, and other).
Hard to believe? Then read on!
The first method: "Complete and assign"!
Here is a visual scheme:
Two decorative pins on the shoulders and tower tape on the waist and under the breast.
Of course, this simplified version of the dress will swing at the first wind. Therefore, this model will be appropriate to the beach over a swimsuit.
And so that this is a full-fledged Greek dress, you just need to sew a dress sash along the right side of it from the bottom to the bottom, so that the body does not look out. The result is an elegant outfit in Greek style. This model is good because it absolutely unlike the body, it is nevertheless, emphasizes the beauty of its bends, thanks to the fluidity of the tissue, seductively flowing through the body. And according to this method of modeling, completely different dresses may turn out, depending on what kind of color and quality fabric you will use to create them.
For example, an ivory satin, the pearl thread around the wrist, a kind of wrist, but the exquisite brooch on the shoulder from the same pearls, scattered on their shoulders, - and you get the image of young Aphrodites coming out of the marine foam.
Or the same model, but black silk, brooch on the shoulder and bracelet of gold color, smoky eye makeup - and this is already an evening image of the Grozny Goddess!
Second way: "Drapeting on the body"
The Great French Fashion Designer Madame Greek created her dresses in the Greek style, dragging them by hand on the body of the model. Her way to create a dress has become classic. Let's try and we are as a fashion designer ...
Here is a Greek dress made from a solid piece of fabric:
High-fashion? Yes, high ... but not so much so that we cannot reach it!))
What you need: Long fabric a little more than 2 of your heels from heels to shoulders (if you want a floor dress). Decorative tape or tape of such a length, so as to encourage yourself under the breast and on the waist 2 times.
Let's start: They spread the fabric on the floor, found the middle and spent the small lines. This line will lie on your shoulders.
Now in the center it is necessary to make a hole for the neck - we draw a perpendicular line somewhere 15cm for a start (so that the head climbs) and cut it with scissors.
They looked at the hole head, and now it is necessary to decide, to what level we will deepen the neckline. On the dress from the photo - cutout depth to the waist. But you can stop him and under the breast, there to tower there, and then you can not pay another tape on the waist. Let the fabric flow freely down, starting to hide straight from the tape under the breast. And it will be another model of Greek dress, less frank.
Next ... put on your head and noted on the fabric the necessary level of cutout depth. They removed, spread on the floor, drawn the line to our marks and cut the cutout to the end. On the shoulder, they guessed cloth with pins. And then act as shown in the picture:
Proded the tape under the breast, but not on top of the fabric, and under it, on the body. We take the pins, and laying the fabric into the folds, pour them to the ribbon, dragging one chest first, then another.
Approximately the same thing with ribbon on the waist.
Now that we are already seeing the image of our future Greek dress, and we are satisfied with the fabric, it is possible to conceive a thread in the needle, and takes out one pin on one pin, to sew our folds to the ribbon. (Or you can first sew everything, and then remove the pins). Stitches can be made oblique and curves, all the same we will be on top of sewing another tape or braid, and we will already sew it neatly.
So, the front part of the dress we "blind."
Rear can do the same as in front - with a cut and two ribbons. Or show the fantasy and "play" with drapery. By the method of fastening pins and protection of "grinding" for hair, find the very location of the folds when the fabric flows the most interesting way for you, emphasizing your advantages and hiding shortcomings.
The figure shows three ways to dramatize the back of the dress.
The third method is "rocker" - is achieved by toring the cloth up. The left and right edge of the canvase will be ashamed, and the middle freely saves, forming it the most beautiful "swings". Accordingly, for this method of tissue on the rear hem you need 1-2m more.
But playing with the cloth and fantasizing, do not forget that in the dress you need to provide free entry and exit, that is, somewhere it should be unborn and zasya. Best side at the ends of the front of the front of the dress sewing on one elegant buttice. And at the ends of the tape of the back of the dress - on the loop. Thus, it turns out that the dress above the waist does not have side seams, and buttons (or velcro or decorative clasp or decorative fasteners are fastened.
Third way: Drapery in "Pierce".
This method is used as a drapery of the ready-made dress that you in the "patch" - fully fits. This dress is either already tired of you, or you planted a stain on it, but did not quite well thrust. Either specifically buy the simplest dress and make a masterpiece from it. Or you slightly sprinkled and shy to wear a dress in a tightness - then this drapery is the perfect option for the summer to hide disadvantages and emphasize the merits!
As the basis for drapery, you can use not only the dress-formation, but also fanging a shirt or even a bra. The main thing is that the drapery completely hid the foundation and the basis itself was the same color as the drape fabric.
Then sew them first with a rough thread with simple rude stitches. Remove the pins, reconcile again, and if everything suits, sewls have already made neat secret stitches. Extract the roughing thread, cut the excess fabric. If you need, make seam.
As you can see, the dress in the Greek style can be made literally "bare hands", without any drawings and mathematical calculations. Guided solely intuition and feeling of beautiful!
Forward! Take fabric and try, create! And you will definitely happen !!!
A pair of ideas for inspiration:
Here, under the breast, an openwork braid is used! Also very beautiful! In addition, the craftsmen can associate such a belt, to separate it with beads and sequins! That's where you are secured by the flight of creativity and fantasy!
