    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.

    In any children's store you will find a lot of dresses for little fashionistas, be it festive or knitted. Leading fashion houses also do not deprive their youngest clients of attention. But quite often, children's things cost so much that the mother will think three hundred times before taking out her wallet. Do you want to dress up a child or teenager, but finances don’t allow it? You can do a lot yourself if you try hard enough. Where can I get patterns for children's dresses for beginners? Making simple patterns with your own hands is not difficult at all and is free; we will now talk about some of the methods.

    Not everyone knows about this, but to sew a dress for a girl, a pattern is not at all necessary! Without a pattern you can sew:

    • folk style outfit;
    • ball gown;
    • summer sundress.

    Are you wondering where to start? Let's do the sundress then - it's the easiest thing. But first you need to take some measurements - it’s best to write them down if you are not going to limit yourself to just one product.

    Measure:

    • the growth of your little daughter;
    • chest girth;
    • waist circumference;
    • hip girth;
    • shoulder length;
    • sleeve length (you won’t need it for a sundress, but if you’ve already taken measurements, it’s useful to do everything at once);
    • expected length of the product.

    Important! For a sundress with straps, measure the length of the product from the armpit to the expected hemline.

    Choosing fabric

    In general, sewing for small children is a pleasure. The seams are short, little fabric is needed, no darts or complex details. The simpler the style, the better. It is enough to choose a beautiful fabric, and even the most basic, but neatly sewn dress will look like a princess.

    Important! You can also use scraps left over from your mother’s new dress, or alter something of your own for your daughter – good, but already boring.

    If you are choosing a material for a summer sundress, it is better to choose one that drapes well:

    • crepe de Chine;
    • chiffon;
    • thin chintz;
    • satin;
    • poplin;
    • gauze.

    Important! Chintz fits just perfectly - inexpensive, very hygienic, bright, suitable for a New Year's dress. And it’s okay that it fades quickly - anyway, by next summer my daughter will outgrow this dress.

    Also, to sew a light children's dress with your own hands, you need:

    • linen elastic;
    • braid to match the fabric - for straps and edging.

    We sew a sundress

    Perhaps this model with elastic and straps is the simplest DIY dress for a girl. If you are sewing it from an opaque fabric, it will be a single layer. It is better to fold the gauze in two layers or make a cover. Below are photo sketches.

    Operating procedure:

    1. Spread the fabric in one layer with the wrong side up.
    2. Draw a top line perpendicular to the edges.
    3. From this line, set down the length of the product, plus allowances for the drawstring at the top and for processing the bottom - you can immediately mark the lines of the drawstring.
    4. Through this mark, draw another perpendicular to the edges.
    5. Along the line that runs along the lobar, set aside a segment equal to the circumference of the chest, multiplied by 1.5 or 2 (depending on how well the fabric drapes: if it is gauze, it is better to make lush gathers, if chintz or satin - more modest ).
    6. Cut out the part.

    Assembling a sundress

    How to sew a children's dress with your own hands? Very simple. This model has only one seam, plus bottom processing, plus a drawstring:

    1. Start with the drawstring - iron the top edge to the wrong side, then bend the fold 0.5 cm and stitch it all together (it’s better to make a decorative stitch on the front side).
    2. Sew the back seam along the wrong side, leaving the area near the drawstring unsealed so that you can insert the elastic.
    3. Insert the rubber band.
    4. Try the blank on your daughter.
    5. Mark the places for the straps.
    6. Cut 2 pieces of braid and sew on the straps.
    7. Hem the bottom - hand hem or topstitch.
    8. Along the hem you can sew the same braid from which the straps are made.

    Important! The straps of this sundress can be tied.

    Sundress on a yoke

    If you need a dress for a girl, you can sew it yourself from two different fabrics. For example, take satin for the yoke, and crepe de chine for the bottom. But nothing prevents you from constructing a similar thing from the same material.

    This summer dress with a yoke is also made like a sundress, only the straps are better made wide and from the same fabric as the yoke, and this model does not have a drawstring.

    Important! It is better to cut out the yoke first on paper - it looks like a strip 5-6 cm wide and a length equal to the half-circumference of the chest. There will be 4 parts - two for the front and two for the back. These are the simple patterns of children's dresses for beginners that you can use.

    Operating procedure:

    1. Lay out the fabric lengthwise (you can use two layers at once).
    2. Cut out 4 strips of the specified size from it (do not forget to add allowances for all cuts) - the grain thread coincides with the short side.
    3. Cut out the hem - to do this, subtract the width of the yoke from the total length of the product (like the previous model, it is measured from the armpit to the bottom).
    4. Cut out 2 straps - these are also strips 5-6 cm wide, but, unlike the yoke, when cutting, the grain thread coincides with the long side.

    Straps

    Start assembling this model by preparing the straps:

    1. Fold the strips in half with right sides facing out.
    2. Place the long seam allowances inside.
    3. Iron them.
    4. Topstitch the seam and topstitch the straps around the entire perimeter.

    Yoke

    To quickly sew a baby dress with your own hands, connect the yoke with the straps, and then sew on the bottom:

    1. We sweep the strips in pairs: one for the outside, the other for the inside.
    2. We sweep each one into a ring.
    3. Let's try one of them on a model.
    4. We mark out places for the straps - both on the part of the yoke that will be on the outside and on the part on the inside.
    5. Carefully rip apart the basting and straighten the rings.
    6. We fold the strips intended for the front part with the right sides facing each other.
    7. We put straps between them.
    8. Sew together the top seam.
    9. We turn the yoke inside out so that the long parts of the straps should be on the front side.
    10. Iron the seam.
    11. We do the same with the back parts - after you stitch them, the straps should be sewn in.
    12. We sew together the side seams of the yoke - the allowances should be on the inside.

    Assembling a summer dress

    Your yoke with straps is ready. All that remains is to stitch the hem, but first you need to prepare it:

    1. Sew the back seam.
    2. Press the seam allowances to the sides.
    3. Sew along the line of stitching to the yoke with a basting stitch and make gathers.
    4. Place the top edge of the main part between the yoke pieces and baste.
    5. Sew the main part to the yoke.

    The dress is almost ready, all that remains is to trim the bottom.

    Dress according to pattern

    You can sew a children's dress with your own hands using a pattern. Clothing for small children is also good because many things can be sewn using the same patterns. For example, on a T-shirt or tank top. To do this, it is not at all necessary to rip the thing apart - you can simply circle it. It's better to do this on paper first so you can model the cutout:

    1. Trace the shirt.
    2. For the back of a straight dress, simply extend the side lines down to the desired length.
    3. For the shelf, also continue the lines down to the same length.
    4. Find the middle of the cutout.
    5. Draw a line down from this point.
    6. Set aside 2 cm.
    7. Connect this new point to the beginning of the shoulder seams.
    1. Cut out 2 parts - front and back.
    2. Cut out the facings for the neckline and armholes - just trace them first along the contour of the pattern, and then make a parallel outline at a distance of 2.5-3 cm (you need to outline by aligning the front side of the part with the back of the facing).
    3. Sew the shoulder and side seams of the main parts, pressing the allowances to the sides.
    4. Sew the neck pieces along the shoulder seams.
    5. Press seam allowances.
    6. Turn the main dress inside out.
    7. Baste the facings so that their right sides are on the wrong side of the dress.
    8. Sew facings along the cutouts.
    9. Fold the free edges by 0.5 cm and stitch - preferably with a finishing stitch from the front side.
    10. After that, all you have to do is trim the bottom.

    DIY elegant dress for a girl

    Are you thinking about how to dress up a princess for a matinee, but you have almost no time left? Nothing complicated. Now we’ll talk about how to sew a children’s dress with a full skirt - this is the best option, and you can make it in a couple of hours.

    You will need:

    • material for the top (if you have a beautiful swimsuit or bodysuit, it will be absolutely fine - the top can be made from these items);
    • tulle or guipure for a skirt;
    • wide elastic band for the belt;
    • large compass;
    • long ruler.

    Top

    The top is made in the same way as for a simple sleeveless dress - that is, the T-shirt is outlined, but only to the waist. The cutout is modeled.

    If you are sewing a dress from a swimsuit, simply cut off the bottom part or turn the swimsuit into a bodysuit by cutting it between the legs and sewing an inconspicuous button there. Why do you need a clasp? Then, so that your little princess does not feel any inconvenience and does not rack her brains over what to do if the need arises to go to the toilet.

    We start assembling from the top - we simply sew the parts together in the same way as when making any other clothing. You can immediately process the top and armholes, unless, of course, you are going to sew in a zipper.

    Making a skirt

    A circle skirt looks just perfect on a little girl. It can be floor-length or very short, in the style of a dude. You only need two measurements - waist circumference and the length of the skirt itself.

    Important! What to sew from? A brilliant invention of designers - tulle. Keeps its shape perfectly - no need to starch. You can cut it however you like; it costs nothing to cut out several layers at once.

    It’s better to make a template in advance:

    1. Calculate the construction, the radius of the notch - divide the waist circumference by 6.28.
    2. Draw a circle with this radius on a piece of paper.
    3. Add the length of the product to the radius.
    4. Draw a second circle from the same center - you will get a ring.
    5. Cut out several layers of tulle - they can be the same, but you can make ruffles of different lengths.

    Your next steps depend on what the top is made of:

    • Materials such as supplex or jersey have excellent stretch, so you can simply sew the skirt first to the elastic, and then the entire structure. - to the bodice.
    • If the material does not stretch so well, you cannot do without a zipper. It is best to sew it in the middle of the back, from the top to the skirt. In this case, the neckline is processed after the zipper takes its place.

    Video material

    In short, there are plenty of models for little girls from 2 months old, and many can be sewn using the most primitive patterns. The most important thing is to carefully handle all the details. The slightest carelessness on children's clothing is visible much more clearly than on adult clothing, and can significantly ruin the look.

    Hello. I am posting a size range from 80 to 152 cm for dress patterns for girls. Loose fit dress with sleeves.

    The pattern is like this.

    Simple cut dress. Sleeve pattern with a fold, the same piping line for the front and back.

    The neckline is high, the kind to which the collar is sewn. If there is no collar, the neck should be deepened and widened.

    Despite the fact that the dimensions are given up to a height of 152 cm, the patterns are designed for undeveloped children's figures.

    The sleeve, of course, doesn’t have to be sewn on.

    The length of the dress is to the knee.

    You can decorate the dress with a collar and lace

    flounces

    make the dress multi-layered.

    I also collected several options for modeling the pattern: how you can modify the dress.

    You can cut off the skirt and gather it. The width of the skirt is doubled.

    What a blessing to have a little daughter! With her appearance, many ideas arise with outfits and hairstyles. Mothers tirelessly dress up their dolls in beautiful fluffy dresses. Dressing a child in beautiful outfits is not such a cheap hobby. When buying something lush again for a matinee, many mothers have a question: can I sew something like this on my own? Sometimes a simple children's dress is the same price as something for an adult, let alone exclusive holiday outfits for a child.

    simple cut

    If you show your imagination and set aside some free time, you can sew a stunning dress for a 3-year-old girl yourself. The pattern is quite simple, it is basic for many models. Don't be afraid to sew such things. The main thing is to start, with this model everything will definitely work out! My daughter will be proud of her new dress, it will be her favorite, because her mother sewed it!

    First you need to arm yourself and start creating patterns for dresses for girls 3-4 years old. When sewing clothes, children of this age do not need darts on the bodice and waist, or other cutting complications. In addition, you can show imagination and skill by adding numerous ruffles, multi-layered fluffy skirts to the model, decorating with bows and rhinestones as much as you like, without fear of going overboard. Girls in such dresses look amazing, and the more decorations on the dress, the more they feel like princesses.

    Constructing a pattern

    To sew a holiday dress for a 3-year-old girl, the pattern should consist of a top, which will serve as a yoke, and a bottom, which will serve as a skirt. The skirt can be sewn with side seams or made into a single piece, stitching only the back. Also, when creating a pattern, you can adjust the length, height of the waistline, the presence of sleeves, the type of skirt and much more. But the pattern base is the same for everyone - a T-shirt-shaped bodice.

    It is first necessary to take measurements from the child to build a basic grid. The width of the pieces (such as the back and front) should be equal to half the waist circumference; to do this, the full size is divided by two to get the half circumference. Moreover, the back consists of two shelves for sewing in a zipper.

    • Waist /2 = SWEAT;
    • chest girth/2 = POG;
    • back length to waist or high waistline = DST;
    • skirt length from waist to bottom = DUNE;
    • product length = DI;
    • sleeve length, possible without it = DR.

    The hip girth will not be needed, the dress will be full, so it will not play any role in building the base. The pattern can be created on the back side of rolled wallpaper or on thick oilcloth. As an example, you can also use a ready-made dress for a 3-year-old girl and make a pattern based on it, taking into account the new sizes. To do this, place the transparent film one by one on the parts folded in half and use an oilcloth handle to repeat the contours along the seam lines. After construction and cutting, the pattern for a 3-year-old girl can be transferred to fabric.

    You need to cut out about a centimeter. Do not confuse the face with the back; mark the pattern on the back of the material. If the fabric slips, you can use pins. After checking once again the fit of the parts, you can begin to grind them down.

    The procedure for carrying out sewing operations

    The parts are sewn together on a sewing machine, or even on a simple straight-stitch machine. Finishing the edges is usually done with an overlocker, but if this is not available, you can get by with a zigzag stitch, or after direct stitching of the product, overcast the edges by hand. After all, dress patterns for girls (2-3 years old) are small, and it won’t take much effort or time to manually finish the seams. Sequence of work:

    1. Side and shoulder seams.
    2. Side slits on the skirt.
    3. Sew the sleeve sections.
    4. Sew in the sleeves.
    5. Connect the yoke with the skirt.
    6. Sew a zipper between the back halves.
    7. Neck treatment.
    8. Processing the bottom.

    All that remains is to trim the remaining threads, iron - and the dress is ready! Now you can implement ideas regarding decorative additions. Separately sew a belt and tie it with a bow at the back.

    Petticoat

    For pomp, you can sew a petticoat separately and wear it with the dress. Horizontal rings that add volume can be inserted into the bottom seam and in the middle of the petticoat; they are available in specialized stores. Or sew a fluffy one underneath, but you won’t be able to achieve the same volume as with rings. Multilayer petticoats are not recommended for children: the space filled with a lot of fabric will hinder the movement of the legs.

    Skirt sun

    In a dress for a 3-year-old girl, the pattern of the lower part can be anything: sun, half-sun, a rectangular piece of fabric gathered on top can also be used. Of course, the sun looks more magnificent, and besides, it will be great to spin in such a dress!

    In order for a sundress to have smooth edges along the bottom, you need to adhere to certain rules when cutting. To create patterns you need: POTH and length from the waist to the desired mark. A perpendicular is drawn down from the middle of the horizontal line. Divide the half waist circumference by four, this is the length from the center point to the beginning of the pattern. Measure the length of the skirt from there and mark a point. Mark from the center to the bottom, using a bisector between the two formed right angles (shown in the photo). Connect the lower points to form a semicircle, and do the same with the waist line.

    The patterns will come in handy

    The patterns should not be thrown away; they may come in handy more than once. For example, with the onset of the New Year holidays, the time for matinees begins in kindergartens. The basic pattern of a New Year's dress for a 3-year-old girl can remain the same, you just need to add details that match the look. Make the Christmas tree dress from green fabric, trim it with ruffles, flounces and decorate with small New Year's balls and rain. My daughter will be irresistible! From white fabric you can sew a Snowflake or Snow Queen dress, wear a voluminous tulle petticoat under a short sun dress, sew on snowflakes and sparkles, plus a crown! Why not a queen?

    Conclusion

    So, what does it take to sew a dress for a 3-year-old girl? A pattern, fabric, a sewing machine and my mother’s skillful hands. Because only mom knows what it should be: pink or blue, with a bow, a flower or with cats. After all, a dress can be decorated as your heart desires, you just have to start. And as you gain experience with simple things, perhaps for the prom after graduation, you will be able to sew a more complex dress for your adult princess yourself!

    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):

    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 and set it aside:

    • 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.
