Description of the appearance of the pencil skirt model. Theme: Straight Skirt Project

This is a straight, tight, figure-hugging skirt, knee-length (plus/minus five centimeters).

Fashion for this detail women's wardrobe introduced in the 40s by the great Christian Dior. The model very quickly became popular among fashionistas of those years.

In part, this success can be explained by the difficult economic situation in the post-war period, when fabrics were quite expensive and it was considered wasteful to sew puffy, wide-brimmed skirts.

The pencil skirt was further spread largely thanks to the first lady of America and style icon Jacqueline Kennedy, who was very fond of this style.

And until now, the pencil skirt does not lose its relevance and is almost always present in fashion collections regardless of the season.

A pencil skirt is simply an indispensable thing for girls who are forced to comply with a strict dress code (and there are probably a lot of them among us). With what to combine it? Thousands of options! It's all about your style and personal taste. Perfect combinations with a white shirt and shirts pastel shades, all kinds of cardigans, tops, turtlenecks and jackets.

Ideally, if the neckline at the top of your image is V-shaped - this will help visually stretch the silhouette and slim the figure. The only rule that must be strictly observed is heels! elegant shoes / sandals with stilettos, platform or open toe ... and you are a goddess!

And among the famous fashionistas, the pencil skirt is very popular. They wear them in Everyday life and on red carpets. Let's look at the images created by celebrities, and maybe we can take note of something.

Well, perhaps in everyday life this thing can cause some inconvenience, but we must admit that in a black suit with a pencil skirt, Sandra looked simply stunning!

A pencil skirt should fit snugly around the figure, smoothly narrowing to the bottom. Length pencil skirts can be different - from short to midi (just below the knee). If you want to sew a long pencil skirt an incision should be made at the back, otherwise, in a long pencil skirt it will be difficult to walk.

Introduction

Modern fashion does not dictate strict rules regarding styles and lengths of skirts. From a wide variety of proposals, you can always choose a model according to the figure, mood, style of the costume. Everyone wants to be dressed elegantly, beautifully and in fashion. But fashion, as you know, is very fickle. In this regard, following her trends, you often have to change your wardrobe.

However, the classic straight skirt stands alone in this row and, in fact, never goes out of style. At the same time, the process of its manufacture is simple and can become a good basis for improving the skills of beginner dressmakers.

But where can I get a new skirt so that it is not only fashionable, but also pleasing in every detail, fits well on the figure and is not very expensive? It is best to sew it yourself.

Our product must meet the requirements:

aesthetic

Hygienic

Operational

Convenience

To ensure normal

human life

Strength

the beauty

Hygroscopicity

fashion clothes

Breathability

Thermal protection

Selection required material and tools

Here are the materials and tools that we needed in order to sew a straight skirt:

Needle; threads; sewing machine; the cloth; graph paper; scissors;

Soap (to transfer the drawing from graph paper to fabric).

Description of the skirt.
The skirt is straight two-seam with four darts along the waist line.
Fastening in the left side seam with a hidden zipper.
The upper section of the skirt is finished with a stitched belt, fastened with a loop with a button.
The length of the skirt is just below the knee.
The lower edge of the skirt is finished with a hem seam with an open overcast cut and secured with hand blind stitches.

Cutting Requirements

To begin with, I highly recommend viewing the cut of your choice in the light to determine hidden defects, for example, elongated threads, knots, and so on. If any artifacts are found, they can be bypassed when laying out the patterns.

Open the straight skirt.

Before proceeding with cutting, let's calculate the fabric consumption for a straight skirt.

Fabric consumption

Fabric consumption for a straight skirt is planned based on the calculation:

with a width of 140 cm - one skirt length plus 8-10 cm,

with a fabric width of 80-100 cm - two lengths plus 10-15 cm.

With a narrower width of the fabric, you need to take two lengths, and this is very irrational. Don't buy fabric rashly.

Measure the half-circumference of the hips (Q) plus the increase (Pb) plus 4-5 cm for two side seams, multiply all this by 2, add the width of the strip to the belt (8 cm) and compare the resulting figure with the width of the material.

For example, for my skirt there will be the following data: (48.5 + 1 + 5) * 2 = 109 cm, if there is a belt, add the width of the strip on the belt - 8 cm, 109 + 8 = 117 cm.

Building a drawing of the base of a straight skirt

Initial data

To build a drawing of the base of a straight skirt, the following measurements and additions are required:

St - waist half circumference;

Sat - semi-girth of the hips;

Dts - the length of the back to the waist;

or

Dtb - the distance from the waist to the hips (for low hips);

Dsp - the distance from the waist line to the floor in front;

Dsb - the distance from the waist line to the floor on the side;

Dsz - the distance from the waist line to the floor at the back;

Du - skirt length;

Fri - an increase in the half-circumference of the waist;

Pb - an increase in the semicircumference of the hips;

In addition, we find the level of the lower edge of the skirt. To do this, subtract the length of the Du skirt from the measurement Dsb. The resulting value is subtracted from the measurements of Dsp and Dsz, we obtain, respectively, the measurements of Dusp (length of the skirt in front) and Dusz (length of the skirt at the back).

Drawing base grid construction

The construction of the base drawing begins with the construction of the base grid.

The size of the base mesh corresponds to the dimensions of the side surface of the skirt from the middle back to the middle front line.

We build a right angle with the vertex at point T. Down from it, we lay off the length of the skirt behind Dusz vertically. We get point N.

Define the line of the hips. The hip line for a skirt is usually at the level of 18-20 cm down from the waist line, with a smaller value for small figures, a larger one for tall figures.

TB \u003d 0.5 * Dts - 2 or TB \u003d Dtb.

For figures with low hips, we use the Dtb measure.

We postpone the value of TB from the point T vertically down, set the point B.

Through points T and B to the right we draw horizontal lines - the waist line and the hip line, respectively.

The width of the skirt at the hips: BB1 = Sat + Pb. We postpone this segment horizontally to the right of point B.

The position of the sideline determines the segment BB2, which is laid horizontally to the right of point B:

BB2 \u003d (Sb + Pb) / 2 - 1.

The position of the back and front tucks is determined by the segments BB3 and B1 B4:

BB3 = 0.4 * BB2;

B1B4 = 0.4 * B1B2.

The segment BB3 is laid horizontally to the right of point B. The segment B1B4 is laid horizontally to the left of point B1.

Through points B3, B2, B4, B1, a vertical is drawn up to the intersection with the waist line at points T3, T2, T4 and T1.

The vertical lines continue down through points B1 and B2 until they intersect with the horizontal at points H1 and H2.

Calculation and construction of a drawing of the base

First of all, let's clarify the position of the waistline by determining the location of points T20 and T10.

From the point H2 vertically upwards, we set aside the measurement of Du. We put the point T20. From the point H1 vertically upwards, we postpone the measurement of Dusp. We put the point T10.

We connect the points T, T20, T10 with straight lines. This broken line is the refined waistline.

We extend upward the verticals of the back and front tucks until they intersect with the refined waist line at points T30 and T40.

We determine the total solution of tucks along the waist line.

darts \u003d (Sat + Pb) - (St + Fri).

The direction of the tucks, their size and number depend on the physique and features of the figure of the customer. For typical figures It is customary to design three tucks: back, side and front.

In this construction, we will focus on a typical figure.

The side tuck is located on the side line. IN general case the value of ∑ tucks is distributed as follows: rear tuck solution 0.35 ∑ tucks, front tuck solution 0.15 ∑ tucks, side tuck solution 0.5 ∑ tucks.

To build the sides of the tucks along the waist line from points T30, T40 and T20, set aside to the right and left half the solution of the back, front and side tucks, respectively. Dart length: back 15-17 cm, front 10-12 cm, side 17-20. If we are building a skirt with side seams, then the top of the side tuck should lie on the hip line and coincide with point B2. We lay off the length of the tucks from points T30, T40 and T20 down the vertical.

We align the sides of the tucks along the larger of the sides. Side tuck we make out smooth lines, back and front - straight. We draw the waist line with a smooth curve with closed tucks.

If we expand the straight skirt somewhat along the bottom line, then we draw the side line from the vertical to the right and left from point B2 to points H21 and H22.

H2H21 \u003d H2H22 \u003d 1 - 6 cm.

The lower end of the tuck, point B2, is connected to points H21 and H22.

If a straight skirt is designed with a seam or a fold in the middle, then we draw the line of the middle of the back panel through points B and T0 in a straight line until it intersects with the bottom line at point H0, and the line of the middle of the front panel - through points T11 and B1 in a straight line until it intersects with the bottom line at point H10:

TT0 \u003d T10T11 \u003d 0.5 - 1 cm.

At the same time, we align the length of the lines:

BN = BN0;

B1H1 = B1H10.

It is necessary that the slot or crease in finished product did not disperse. It is clear that if the skirt has, for example, only a slot in the middle of the back panel, and the front panel is cut out in one piece, the above indents should be made only in the middle of the back panel of the skirt.

We make out the bottom line with smooth curves. We draw a clear line around the contours of the back and front panels of the skirt.

cutting

1. The fabric intended for sewing a skirt must be either de-decaded (washed, according to the conditions of use of the fabric) before cutting - if it is cloth or wool that shrinks, or ironed well - if it is silk, cotton, etc.

2. The fabric should lie flat on the table, without distortion.

3. The edge is cut, not included in the width of the seam.

4. When cutting, the fabric is folded “in a fold” or “in a spread”.

5. When laying out the details on the fabric, the direction of the shared thread, the structure of the fabric, the pattern and pattern of the fabric are taken into account.

6. Once again, we recall that when laying out parts on fabric, it is necessary to achieve the most rational and economical layout.

7. Fold the fabric front side inside, put the patterns strictly along the shared thread of the fabric, in the middle to the fold.

8. Circle the patterns, apply the first chalk line strictly along the contour of the pattern, the second - with an allowance for the seams and for the bottom hem.

The clasp is placed on the left side, its length is 16-20 cm.

Layout of a pattern of a straight skirt on a fabric 140 cm wide without a seam on the back panel

Pattern layout of a straight skirt on a fabric 140 cm wide with a seam on the back panel

For cutting, we lay a fabric on the table, folded in two additions face inward with a fold along the longitudinal thread. We lay out the details of the pattern on the fabric so that the bottom of the product is located along the transverse thread. We cut out the front panel in one piece with a fold, the back - with a seam in the middle, giving an allowance for the slot (more details below).

Grinding seam allowances:

Side: 3-4 cm (large enough allowance will allow you to further expand the skirt if necessary).

Slots: along the entire height of the middle of the back panel of the skirt 7 - 8 cm (during the fitting, the height of the slots will be specified, the excess will be cut off) - indicated by a black arrow in the photo.

Bottom hem allowance - 4 cm.

We do not give an allowance for the upper cut. We make a slight rise above the darts and side seams.

Cut out the belt, preferably along the share. Immediately glue it along the entire length and width with a dense interlining and iron it in half lengthwise with the right side out. The length of the belt should be equal to the full volume of the waist + 8-10 cm. The width is equal to twice the desired width of the belt in ready-made+ 2 cm for seams (you can, for example, take a width of 8 cm for a finished belt with a width of 3 cm).

We cut out the lining using the same patterns. We cut out both the front and back panels of the skirt lining in one piece (with a fold). We do not lay the allowance for the slot, the allowance for the bottom hem is also not needed, since the lining should be shorter than the top of the skirt. The allowances for the side seams and upper cuts are left the same as for the main fabric.

Preparing for fitting

We transfer the chalk lines of the seams to the second side in any of the following ways:

Using a wheel and carbon paper (or chalkboard);

With the help of tailor's pins and a ruler;

Silkami.

We sweep the front and back tucks, starting from the waist line, reducing to nothing at the ends. At the beginning and end of any basting seam, we make a backtack.

We notice the tucks front and rear towards each other.

We sweep the middle seam of the back half of the skirt from top to bottom. We notice the slot at this stage!

We sweep the side seams, leaving an allowance for the fastener 15-16 cm long on the left side.

We lay the seam lines in the area of ​​​​the allowance for the fastener hand stitches threads in a contrasting color.

We sew a belt in two additions 1 cm from the edge to the upper cut of the skirt.

We notice the hem of the bottom of the product.

Fitting

During the fitting, we specify the volume and length of the product, note the height of the slots, and make the necessary changes.

If the product is wide, we fasten the excess with pins, and if it is narrower, we open the side seam and release the fabric from the seam stock, after pinning the middle of the panels to the linen with pins.

We make the same changes to the details of the lining fabric.

After trying on, we tear off the belt, unfold the hem of the bottom, mark the height of the slots with a thread.

We mark with a piece of chalk or soap the position of the pins stuck in the fitting, we overcast the seams.

We notice the section of the side seam under the fastener, previously left uncovered.

Machine processing

We grind the front and back tucks, starting from a wide section and ending the line to nothing. We grind the side seams, while we sew one part at a time and in one direction (for example, both seams along the back of the skirt from top to bottom). In the left side seam, we start the line from the "fastener" mark.

We grind the middle seam of the back half of the skirt from the top cut to the mark "Height of the slots" (this mark, I remind you, was made by you during the fitting). At the corner we make a rounding (such a seam is more resistant to tearing). We do not complete the slots 1 - 2 cm to the cut. We cut off the extra allowances above the slots, leaving an allowance along the middle seam 1.5 - 2 cm wide.

We perform all seams with a bartack, with the exception of the tops of the tucks, where the ends of the threads must be tied by hand.

We perform similar machining on the lining parts, with the only difference that the middle back seam there is no skirt on the lining (later the lining will be cut out above the vent in the shape of an arch).

We glue the allowance of the upper side of the slots with interlining along the entire length and width. If in doubt which side to glue, imagine the skirt worn inside out on ironing board so that the bottom of the product is with right hand, and the back middle seam of the skirt lay on top. Turn both allowances of slots towards you. The non-woven fabric should be glued with the allowance of the slots that lies on top.

Slices of the skirt - side, slots (from the bottom to the mark "height of the slots") - we overcast separately. We sew the middle seam above the "height of the slots" together. We sweep the sections of the lining separately.

Wet heat treatment.

We perform all wet-heat treatment only from the inside, using a wet iron (so that the allowances do not shine if we ever let them out of the seam). It is very convenient to use a seam roller for ironing (for straight seams) and a tailor's ham (for darts and roundings).

We put the skirt on the ironing board so that the bottom of the product is on the right hand. We iron the tucks front and back to the middle of the part.

We iron the back panel of the skirt in the buttocks area:

The area of ​​​​the top of each back tuck, laid on a tailor's ham, is abundantly moistened, covered with an iron and driven in a circular motion iron very close to the surface of the fabric, but without pressing it completely. We dry the iron in this way. At the end, we press the iron and finally dry the fabric. As a result, the skirt in the buttocks area will take on a slightly rounded shape and the sharp protrusions of the tops of the tucks will be removed.

Side seams iron out so that there are no blockages from one part to another. We iron the middle seam of the back half and the slot that has been swept up so far away from us.

We iron the darts on the lining of the skirt to the edges of the parts. Iron the seams of the lining. It is not necessary to shoe the tops of the back darts on the lining.

Skirt base.

An essential step that greatly facilitates further sewing!

We turn the product on front side, fold in half with a fold in the middle of the parts, cleave with pins along the upper and lower sections. Side seams and darts must match. We cut all the irregularities, mark the hem line along the bottom of the product and transfer this line to the second side. We do the same on the lining of the skirt, with the exception of the mark of the bottom hem line.

We overcast bottom cut overlock or zigzag skirts.

Assessment of the quality of the completed project

If you evaluate your work on a ten-point system, then I think it's nine points.

When sewing a skirt, I had some difficulties. For example, when sewing a zipper into a skirt. This operation did not work out for me the first time, and I had to practice on a sample.

Now, when we sewed a straight skirt, I can sew any other skirt. I really enjoyed sewing.

Economic evaluation

During the work we used:

Fabric (Pikachu 1m X 180 rubles)

Interlining (0.4m X 45 rubles)

Lightning (1 piece x 10 rubles)

Button (1 piece x 2 rubles)

Threads (1 spool x 8 rubles)

In total, we spent 245 rubles on our product, excluding the cost of our work. It is more profitable to sew a product with your own hands than to buy it in a store. Moreover, the skirt is made according to my figure!

If you're into a pencil skirt, you'll love it. wonderful story of this timeless style

In 1908, the wife of their friend Mrs. Berg, chosen by Wilbur and Orville Wright, became a pioneering woman among airplane passengers. But the chains and propellers twisted and turned next to her skirt flying up. Then the Wright brothers wrapped a cord around the girl's ankles to avoid trouble.

Flight of the Wright brothers inspires skirt

It was a significant flight. The photographs went to newspapers and magazines around the world, and the postcards sold faster than they could be printed.

It wasn't long before Parisian designers adopted Mrs. Berg's rope-tied skirt. Called the "narrow skirt," this style spread like wildfire.

TO1910 the tight skirt was the latest fashion in all the fashion capitals of the world. It was a popular outfit not only for "bird" women, but also for everyone who understands fashion. Some jokingly called it a top speed skirt.

Tapered around the knees, unlike a pencil skirt, the tight skirt required training to walk gracefully in it and created a sway in its wearer's gait.

Not long was the age of the primordial tight skirt of impractical cut, which later inspired mermaid dresses, and is now seen on Hollywood red carpets.

World War I paves the way for the pencil skirt

First World War had a profound effect on fashion. From tight skirts quickly got rid of in favor of practical ones. The length of the hem rose from the floor to the ankles and then to the calves due to the lack of fabrics. Trousers, which were said to be ugly and unattractive before the war, became practical for working women.

Shortly after the battles ended in 1918, the suffragettes finally won the right to vote in Britain. American women won the right to vote in 1920.

After the war, the younger generation questioned the values ​​of the older generation, including not only their political views, but also their fashion. Flapper dresses and dropped waistlines were all the rage in post-war youth culture.

1940 - Christian Dior introduces everyone to the pencil skirt

In 1940, Christian Dior produced the first pencil skirt, a cropped adaptation inspired by the racy shape of the 1910 tight skirt.

After not having certain form flapper-era dresses and decades of hidden shins and ankles, women immediately took up the seductive shape classic pencil skirt. The earliest pencil skirts were part of women's costume, they were worn with a jacket or tunic.

As a result, the pencil skirt began to be worn with fitted blouses and soft sweaters, emphasizing feminine shapes with a tightened waist and rounded seductive hips. Corsets, once abandoned, have regained popularity to further emphasize the shape of the pencil skirt.

Dior's vision was cashing in on dressing up women fashionably in the post-war cultural movement. Once again tired of wartime clothing, women began to stick to more spicy feminine image. In the era of post-war prosperity finished dress became available. Almost everyone was able to afford new clothes.

Celebrities fall in love with pencil skirts

After the introduction of the classic Dior model, celebrities fell in love with the pencil skirt. Famous pin-up star Bettie Page (1923-2008), screen goddess Ava Gardner (1922-1990), Marilyn Monroe (1926-1962), Audrey Hepburn (1929-1993) walked around in pencil skirts, and she became the main element of the classic wardrobe of the princess Grace (1929−1982).

The naturally blonde beauty's wardrobe was sophisticated, very simple and always sexy.

The very first Playboy model, Marilyn Monroe, was fond of discreet shirts, pencil skirts, capri pants, thin silk dresses and soft sweaters.

In the 1959 film Only Girls in Jazz, there is a stunning scene in which Marilyn smoothly walks past Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon at the train station. She's wearing a pencil skirt. They watch her in awe with their mouths open.

And then Lemmon exclaims: “Look at this! Look how she moves! - the opinion thanks to which the pencil skirt exists and is popular for decades.

In love with pencil skirts off stage, Audrey Hepburn appeared in a pencil skirt in the classic film Breakfast at Tiffany's, provoking another wave of their popularity. The pencil skirt dress would later be known simply as a wardrobe must-have called the "little black dress".

Pencil skirts go mini

One of the most influential designers In the 60s, John Bates dressed celebrities like Twiggy, Jean Shrimpton, Dusty Springfield and Diana Rigg on The Avengers. Bates designed miniskirts before many designers, although he is not the most famous of them.

In 1964, Courrèges was also designing short pencil skirts, also to little acclaim. However, his designs inspired Mary Quant, who became best known for her 1960s mini pencil skirts.

By 1966, Quant was producing short pencil skirts 15-18 centimeters above the knees. The invention of tights, which can be compared to today's women's "pantyhose", made it possible to wear short pencil skirts. No more worrying about stockings peeking out from under short skirts.

Pencil skirt in the 1980s

The pencil skirt disappeared for a few years in the 1970s, only to resurface in the 1980s.

The image was more theatrical; the pencil skirt of the 1980s was often paired with a cropped or cinched-waisted jacket with puffed shoulders and shoulder pads. Another popular look of the 1980s is a seductive pencil skirt and a subtle pinstriped blouse.

Although traditional skirts did not disappear completely, skirts with leopard print, as well as pencil skirts in zebra print, metallics, leathers and prints in fantastic colors.

Celebrities, as well as models, stunned with the use of pencil skirts in the Duce of the 50s. Artists such as Madonna and members of The Spice Girls appeared in similar looks, while classic models like Cheryl Tiegs, wore classic pencil skirts Grace Kelly style.

Pencil skirt today

In the 90s, the pencil skirt faded a little, remaining more of a classic suit skirt thanks to its slender contours and lack of volume when paired with a suit jacket. In the 2000s, the perennial favorite returned.

Yoana Baraschi's 1980s leopard pencil skirt and other vintage 1980s skirts are all the rage again, just like leather pencil skirts and denim. If you search for "celebrity pencil skirts," you'll find a huge number of celebrities wearing the pencil skirt in all its glory.

Not too bad for a style that originated from the rope tied around the skirts of the first woman to take off in an airplane. 100 years old and still holding on. Long live the pencil skirt!

From right half Cut off a 4 cm long strip of the lower part of the back of the pencil skirt (4 cm remains for the hem of the slots on the right side and 8 cm on the left). Reinforce the pencil skirt vent on both sides with a thermal cloth. Tuck the right allowance 4 cm wide and iron it, sweep the loops according to the markings. According to one version, the legendary Coco Chanel invented the pencil skirt, according to another, the British ... Tuck the left seam allowance 4 cm, iron. Impose right side to the left, sweep over the top. Sweep the lower details of the pencil skirt along the side seams, stitch. Sweep away lower part pencil skirts with top. Sew and topstitch 0.7 cm from the edge. Run a pencil along the top cut of the skirt.

Tuck the bottom of the skirt and sew on a typewriter or hem by hand.

Pencil skirt - a bit of history

The pencil skirt has long been a timeless classic in women's wardrobe. And this is no coincidence, because the pencil skirt gives any look a strict elegance and femininity.

The pencil skirt has several versions of its creation. According to one version, the legendary Coco Chanel invented the pencil skirt, according to another, the pencil skirt owes its appearance to English women who liked to wear very tight skirts and limped when walking.

Later, they shortened the skirt and it turned out - a pencil skirt.

The pencil skirt came into fashion thanks to Christian Dior, who in the early 40s brought her to the wide podium.

The pencil skirt experienced another peak in popularity in the 80s of the last century. However, due to its elegance and rigor at the same time, the pencil skirt has firmly entered the women's wardrobe and periodically takes a leading position in it.
