Sundresses on the floor can be bought in online stores, where they are often offered complete with kokoshniks, wreaths and other accessories for holding theme parties in a folk style. However, if you know exactly what the word “sundress” means (“long dress without sleeves with a large neckline”), then it can be argued that many options for women's summer clothes are just sundresses. And in online clothing boutiques, they are offered by hundreds of different options, expensive and not so.
If you are not a fan of such clothes, but are going, for example, on vacation to the Arab countries, then it is still worth taking it with you, as the local customs of some states suggest that the woman’s clothes should be long enough and cover her legs. A sundress just goes well with a jacket or bolero.
What is a sundress on the floor? The pattern of this model is usually quite simple. You can just take a rectangular piece of fabric with a width not less than the circumference of the hips plus allowances (if the coverage of the chest is greater than the circumference of the hips, then it is taken as a measure from the chest). The fabric must be sewn along the side seam, assemble it on top for an elastic band or drawstring and get a strapless sundress. Made from bright, lightweight fabric, it will be a good option for beachwear. In addition, raised to the level of the neck, it will become, no less, a personal "booth" for changing a swimsuit. Quite often, such options are worn with straw hats and flat espadrilles.
How can I modify such a sundress on the floor? The meaning remains the same pattern - a rectangle with a width of at least 1.7 x the circumference of the hips (chest). It is better to choose a chiffon fabric, it is shortened on the side and from the top of the product, somewhere around the waist line rubber veins are tuned to it, which form a fashionable sophisticated silhouette. You can also sew narrow straps of lace to match the fabric to the top line. This model can be worn at a party with wedge shoes. Although wandering along the seashore in it is no less convenient.
Sundress styles for obese women are aimed at hiding some of the figure flaws in the abdomen or hips. In this case, it is better to focus on products with a skirt of several tiers, assembled under the breast in the style of "Empire". Quite often, wide straps are made for such sundresses, which are lowered into hands to mask problem areas in the forearms.
How else can you simulate a sundress on the floor? The pattern in this case will be a little more complicated. For her, you need to measure the volume of the breast (say, 96 cm). Next, build the drawing as follows: lay down the length of the product and mark the line of the bodice on this line at a distance equal to the circumference of the chest divided by 4 (96 \ 4 = 21.5 cm). Measure the circumference of the chest sideways at an angle of ninety degrees. Divide the resulting rectangle in half - you get the front and back of the product. At the front, divide the total width (48 cm) again in half. Postpone 12 cm from the center of the front along the upper edge (96 \ 8 = 12), the same amount should be postponed from the edges of the front of the pattern.
Why is such a sundress on the floor interesting? The pattern here will have tucks, which gives a good fit on the figure. To complete the construction of the tucks, it is necessary to postpone 24 cm (96 \ 4) from the center of the front along the bodice line in each direction and connect the obtained points with the points on the top line. The resulting triangles will be tucks. Next, the straps 24 cm long are drawn (96/4 = 24) - and the sundress pattern is ready.
