Photos of dresses, sundresses for pregnant women

Traditionally, many women try to hide their rounded shapes as much as possible, but changes in the figure of a pregnant girl today are considered very feminine and attractive. However, you can meet fans of modest and fairly modern dresses for pregnant women, long and short.

In the early stages, during the first pregnancy or just with a small tummy, free models are suitable.

After, when the tummy is more visible, you will have to acquire special bows that do not constrain comfort in everyday life.

Pregnancy is not a reason to give up social life, family holidays and cultural entertainment. So, in the wardrobe of every expectant mother should be elegant dresses.

If holidays with a dress code are rare for you, you can make a great horse move and choose a dress, as they say, “and to the feast, and to the world, and to good people.” Such models in different environments, with different accessories and hairstyles will, like a chameleon, change their purpose: now office, now elegant, now everyday.

Patterns of dresses for pregnant women with their own hands

It is not at all necessary to order exclusive models in expensive ateliers - having a sewing machine at home, you can sew them yourself. And the most difficult thing in sewing - building a pattern - is easiest to entrust to professionals who share their developments on the net or in specialized magazines like Burda. You can find tips for beginners or download patterns for free on the Internet or collections of old sewing magazines. We will try to choose the most valuable of them.

Step-by-step description for sewing a dress for a pregnant woman

Those who have already read in the magazine "Burda" or other sources about the principles of building patterns, know that, as a rule, they are built on some kind of base.

Therefore, we will take the classic model as a basis and make some additions to it that will make the dress as comfortable as possible, as in the photo:

1. We close the tuck on the chest, but transfer it to the waist area.
2. We increase the flare of the skirt by 6 cm.
3. To the front we also add 7 cm from the side.

Now, in addition to the base model, we draw a triangular insert with a length of AB and a width of 30 cm, somewhat rounded downwards.

To build the back of the dress, follow the illustration, extending the bottom from the edge to the center by 10 cm and rounding it. After that, you should mark a line in the figure and carefully cut the back part along it, setting aside 6 cm on the crease. Separately, measure the facings for the cutouts for the arms and the neck from the back.

Now it's the turn for the transfer of pattern fragments. We need to measure and draw the following in full size:

• front details X 2;
• spin details X 2;
• front insert X 1;
• facing armholes and necklines for the back and front (they should be reinforced with thermal fabric).

Important! Do not forget to leave a margin of 1.5 cm when cutting for all seams, and 2 cm for filing from below.

Now the time has come when the pattern will turn into clothes - a dress or a sundress. We carefully stitch the insert to the front elements, and process the stocks for the seams. We lay folds on the back details, grind off the shoulders and sides of the dress.

An important point - on the back you need to sew an inconspicuous hidden zipper. As a rule, it is placed in the center, in the middle seam - this is both convenient for the expectant mother and not striking. Less commonly, the fastener is placed on the side at hand, but this threatens to deform the entire model, and now we will not consider this option.

The option we have chosen is convenient for those who are just starting to try to sew with their own hands, because it involves working with an open seam. How to sew a hidden zipper invisibly:

• we process the edges of the parts with the help of an overlock;
• optionally, we strengthen the edge with an oblique trim;
• with chalk we mark the line of stitching the lightning on the wrong side of the fabric with an allowance of no more than 1.5 cm;
• turn off the allowance and smooth it a little with your hand, but do not smooth it with an iron;
• we put the zipper in an open form on the seam of the part so that the teeth fall exactly on the edge of the fabric;
• by checking the exact match of the edge of the fastener and the edge of the pattern, you can sew in a zipper and check its operation - with full observance of the instructions, it should be almost invisible in the seam.

Now it's up to armholes and necklines. We cut out in advance, processed the facings with thermal fabric and overlock, and now they can be sewn to the finished slots. We fold the dress and facings with the front side and stitch, remembering that the seam allowance should be no more than 1.5 cm. We turn off the sewn parts and make a fixing stitch 0.5 cm from the edge.

Now you should process the bottom of the dress. Depending on the fabric, this can be done in two ways: overlock and hem or double hem. After the dress should be washed and ironed, and you can enjoy a new outfit that does not restrict movement!

We sew a pillow for a pregnant woman according to the pattern

A pillow for pregnant women deserves a separate discussion. This invaluable accessory gives moms-to-be a comfort like no other.

So, we sew pillows for pregnant women ourselves:

1. We cut out two parts according to the drawing in full size.
2. We sew them on the wrong side with an allowance for the edges of 2 cm and the obligatory processing with an overlock, leaving a hole of 10 cm.
3. We turn the resulting bag on the front side and fill it, if desired, with padding polyester or polystyrene foam balls.
4. Sew up the hole in the bottom of the pillow with a double seam.

Enjoy a comfortable stay and coziness!

The same pattern, if you apply a bit of imagination to it, will help you sew a lot of various clothes: a dress, a sundress, a skirt, and so on. For a sundress, you just need to cut off the upper part, replacing it with straps or simply placing an elastic band along the cut; the skirt will require you to use only the bottom of the pattern. Of course, using one classic option, it will not be possible to implement fundamentally different tasks, for example, to sew an outfit in the Greek style, but, nevertheless, there are many options.

In any case, in the same "Burda" you can find several basic patterns, and your clothes will be surprisingly diverse.

We need a pattern - simple, already finished, or requiring small changes so as not to waste time on wisdom. The fulfillment of these conditions will free up time and enjoy creativity to the fullest. Our site will help you with this.

Well, firstly, on the site already there are patterns that can be used for pregnant women. For example, this one -

I think that this model is simply indispensable in any situation. The dress can be both evening and everyday. Sew it, for example, from woolen, viscose or cotton jersey.

And it will be an outfit for every day, which will serve you almost until childbirth, and after pregnancy too.

If you doubt your dimensions in late pregnancy - a pattern of this modelcan be correctedby adding a fold.

Modeling, as you can see, is not at all tricky here. Variants I and II of the fold will make a trapezoid-shaped model, and option III - a shape resembling a barrel. Experiment!

Using the pattern of this model for pregnant women allows a successful cut and choice of fabric.

Here are a few more ideas that you can take into service, including for pregnant women. This - , .

Models are worthy of attention and are quite simple in execution, you just need to choose a decent fabric.

Elegant dress for pregnant women

will talk about creating an elegant dress that is suitable for pregnant women because it has a high waist.

P It will come at the right time in the 1st and 2nd and the beginning of the 3rd trimester of pregnancy, when the tummy is not very big. Interesting model and relevant! And after pregnancy it will serve you, besides, it is sewn very easily.

A wrap dress made of knitted fabric is a real find. On our website there is a pattern of such a dress, but for more volume in the abdomen, it needs to be slightly changed.

The main and most important thing is the high waistline. We will make changes after printing.

Draw a line parallel to the waist line of the shelf on the upper part up to a distance of 5-6 cm, without reducing the length of the waist line. We lengthen the part of the lower part of the shelf by cutting and spreading the resulting part of the pattern. Reshape the side seam of the back, taking into account the increase in the waist. For comfort, use a knitted fabric or fabric with elastane. Detailed instructions for sewing a dress

See what wonderful models for pregnant women can be sewn on the basis of a wrap dress pattern by slightly modifying the pattern.

We cut the bodice without changes, and we will make the skirt solid, odorless.

Modeling a dress pattern for pregnant women

Let's raise the waistline, as in the previous case. Cut off the back bodice from the bottom of the dress. The lower part of the shelf will have to be rebuilt. This is easy to do. The waistline of the shelf skirt is equal to the measurement taken from the shelf bodice from the side seam to the midline. The length is equal to the length of the lower back. In addition, you need to slightly raise the skirt at the waist, but only in the abdomen, to wrap around, see the picture. Let's expand the skirt for additional gathers by cutting and spreading the pieces of the pattern. Let's lengthen the skirt according to the model.

The batwing dress from our site is interesting because it has folds in front of the model. Which, if they are not built up, will give the necessary volume in the abdomen, and the fitting can be maintained by tying a belt.

We adapt the pattern of the dress into the pattern for pregnant women. It is necessary to make a one-piece dress from a dress cut along the waistline. To do this, measure the width of the set-in belt and lengthen the details of the bodice by this amount. Next, we combine them with the details of the skirt. The cutout on the back will have to be removed.

If you want to keep the piquancy of the back in the form of a small cutout - this can also be done! Back - slightly increase the waist, draw folds with tucks, the set-in belt remains. We will change the details of the shelf pattern. As in the first case, lengthen the top of the shelf and match the bottom. We will ignore the folds, and insert the details of the tying belt into the side seams. Well, and of course, it is better to sew these dress models from knitted fabric.

Pattern of a skirt for pregnant women

Given my experience, I will say - dresses are dresses, and a skirt in the wardrobe of a pregnant woman, nevertheless, does not hurt. It is the skirt, trousers and blouses that make a working woman look elegant and different. Let's look at modeling a skirt based on.

The proposed option provides for the presence of a knitted insert on the front panel, which provides the greatest comfort compared to the fabric. The insert can be made double, with a fold along the upper cut.

I hope the lesson was interesting and useful for you. Be beautiful and healthy! Wear with pleasure!

How to sew a dress for pregnant women with your own hands? For beginners, patterns

Before starting work, we need to prepare the necessary materials and tools, namely:

• Fabric of your choice.
• Old wallpaper or paper to create patterns.
• Large scissors.
• Tape measure.
• Pencil.
• Chalk or remnant.

Step-by-step algorithm of actions:

1. We are building a pattern for our dress. Fold the fabric in half and draw the back on the fold. We make the part that is in front a little more (freer) near the stomach and under the chest line. We raise the waistline higher so that it is an order of magnitude higher than the location of the abdomen, that is, closer to the chest. We create the chest area, taking into account our previously measured parameters, making an increase for its future increase.
2. We transfer the pattern to the fabric, outlining the borders with chalk.
3. We put the canvas on a flat surface (table) to begin the process of cutting out patterns on the fabric. On all sides (side, upper chest, back and bottom edge) we make an allowance of 2 cm for the hem.
4. We cut the front part along the darts, moving in the direction from the most central part of the chest to the hips.
5. After all the above cuts, we increase the volumes. So, to make the waist wider, we push this part of the pattern along the cut line between the center of the chest and in the middle of the front by 3.4 cm. Move the upper part to the left by 1 cm. Draw new lines of tucks. We retreat down 8 cm from the front central part of the chest, we immediately draw a straight line, which will indicate our waist. We transfer the overestimated line to the back of the product.
6. Cut out all the details.
7. We sew together the upper front part with the lower one, then the upper back part with the lower back part. We make a line along the side seams of the product.
8. We tuck the hem of the dress several times and sew it on a sewing machine.

We sew a sundress

Now we will consider a very simple version of sewing a summer sundress for expectant mothers. Absolutely any girl can sew a product of this style. Let's look at the list of necessary material for work:

• 4-5 meters of dense fabric.
• 2 long pieces of braided belts (textile or leather) 2.5 cm wide.

Instructions on how to sew a sundress for pregnant women:

1. Wrap the mannequin in fabric.
2. We wrap the left edge of the fabric over the right shoulder, fasten it around the neck, thereby forming a drapery.
3. We wrap the right fabric cloth over the left shoulder and fix it on the neck in the same way, as in the first case. These manipulations can be done on yourself, calling for help a friend who can correctly do all of the above actions.
4. We cut each piece of fabric into 2 parts to the belt line.
5. We take the interlaced belts in our hands and weave them together, forming a pigtail.
6. We make a loop from the same fabric, and then sew it to the central part of the back of our future dress.
7. We sew the braids to the edges of the previously made drapery. Again we twist them together, but not with a pigtail, but with a tourniquet.
8. We stretch the ends of the braids into a loop.
9. We try on the product by tying the belt in front of the dress into a knot or bow.

Important! Periodic fitting of such a dress is a mandatory step. This is necessary so that the drapery covers the right places well and you do not feel discomfort in the end result.

We sew a dress for pregnant women with our own hands from a T-shirt

Have you ever thought that your t-shirt can be repurposed into something more original and completely new? But in vain. Now we will tell you how to sew a maternity dress from an ordinary T-shirt.

List of required materials and tools:

• T-shirt, T-shirt or jacket.
• 1.5 m of thin knitted fabric (width - 120 cm).
• Threads to match the fabric.
• Needle.
• Scissors.
• Tailor pins.
• Sewing machine.

Progress:

1. We take a T-shirt in our hands, draw a line under the chest line and remove all excess fabric to the side.
2. For work, we took a T-shirt with buttons, so that they do not disperse, we make a line along the entire line of buttons. If your T-shirt is without buttons, then you can skip this step.
3. We measure the desired length of our skirt on the knitted cut, cutting off the excess fabric.
4. Fold the fabric in half with the right sides. We sew the fabric along its entire width. We process the edge on one side, tucking it 1.5 cm, and then sew it. We take the edge on the other side, stitch it and tighten the thread so that we get small folds.
5. We turn the shirt and the previously made skirt pattern on the wrong side, and then sew them with a special overcast stitch.
6. Cut out two equal rectangles 80 cm long and 10 cm wide from the remnants of the fabric.
7. We fold the rectangular segments in half along the long side facing inward and make a line on both sides, having previously stepped back 1 cm from the edge.
8. We attach the still raw end of the belts to the sides of the product so that they are easily tied in front.

The mum-to-be dress is ready to use!

• If you are new to cutting and sewing, then start by sewing the simplest loose maternity dress with a minimum number of seams, which sometimes does not need a pattern at all. If you are an experienced seamstress, then you can safely take on tailoring for a pregnant woman with various draperies, tucks and patterns with a lot of details.
• To decorate such clothes, you can use absolutely any elements and techniques: embroidery, lace, bows, ribbons. All these small details can well hide the fullness of the figure and some errors in the tailoring of the product.
• To sew this product, choose only natural fabrics that will not only be pleasant to the touch, but also match the season.
• When choosing a material, pay attention to its flowability. Strongly crumbling edges of the canvas can complicate the tailoring of the product, which will significantly spoil your nerves. It is better to use a well-stretched fabric so that the fit is perfect.
• If you chose a fabric with a floral print for sewing a dress, then do not forget about the upcoming difficult work. You will need to connect the correct location of the pattern to the nearest millimeter. That is why for tailoring such clothes it is better to choose a plain fabric so as not to complicate your task.
• In the case of sewing a product from a finished pattern presented in a magazine or on the Internet, follow all the recommendations for sewing. And not only to significantly save material consumption, but so that the thing turns out to be wearable in the end.

Any woman, even being pregnant, wants to look attractive and stylish. But since the new forms do not allow you to wear the clothes in your wardrobe, you have to think about purchasing new outfits. We will consider several options for modeling dresses for expectant mothers, the tailoring of which will not take much time and effort.

What styles of dresses are suitable for pregnant women?

First of all, clothes for a pregnant woman should be stylish and comfortable. It is desirable that the outfits are loose-fitting, not restricting movements in the process of wearing. Existing models of clothes for expectant mothers are very diverse and allow you to select options that satisfy the tastes of even the most demanding fashionistas.

What styles of outfits for pregnant women are the most relevant:

• With smell. This is a win-win version of a dress that fits perfectly on the figure even with a constantly growing tummy;
• With high waist. A flared sundress will allow you not to focus on "interesting position" girls and give the image elegance;
• With a low waist. outfits with "low landing" on an elastic band they will not create unnecessary pressure on the stomach, but it is still preferable to wear them at home;
• A-shape. Products that expand downwards will not hamper movements when walking;
• With tucks. Elegant and beautiful sundresses with tucks on the sides unobtrusively emphasize the figure, but at the same time they will not tightly fit the tummy.

Sewing a stylish and comfortable dress for pregnant women with your own hands is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance.

But if you want the model you made to really sit on the figure and have an attractive appearance, you should listen to some recommendations of experienced needlewomen:

• First, decide on the style of the future product;
• Make a pattern by substituting your own sizes (POG, POB) into the template;
• Decide on the type of fabric that suits you. For tailoring light sundresses, you should give preference to natural materials such as cotton, linen, silk. For winter outfits, knitwear and woolen fabric will be the best option.

Beginning needlewomen should not choose models that are too complex in execution. Without sufficient experience, you can simply ruin the fabric without achieving the desired result. In this case, it is better to take products in the Greek style as a basis. They can be sewn in just half an hour, without making special calculations to create a pattern.

Pattern options for pregnant women

Even if this is your first time trying your hand at such a difficult task as sewing, making a beautiful and comfortable maternity dress will not be difficult. The main thing is to accurately determine the type of pattern and make the appropriate size adjustment for your figure.

Consider a few simple patterns of stylish outfits for women in an "interesting position":

1. Product in country style. This is a very simple model in execution, which can vary in length, depending on the preferences of the girl. Cutting in this case can be done directly on the fabric, without first creating a cardboard template. This model also involves the use of an elastic band, due to which the outfit will be held on the chest. As an accessory, you can use loose brown or black belts, emphasizing that the dress belongs to the country style;
2. Lightweight sweatshirt. To sew a summer sarafan, it is advisable to purchase thin knitwear or even crepe de chine. The product is held by thin ribbons connecting the back of the dress to the front;
3. Sheath dress. Literally every woman can sew this dress model with her own hands, even without knowing the basics of cutting and sewing. It is just perfect for office work and business meetings, corporate parties and theme nights.

No less interesting will be warm options for knitted fashionable dresses for pregnant women, but it will take a lot of time to make them. If you are familiar with knitting or crocheting, the product options below will certainly appeal to you.

• In accordance with the measurements taken, we model the pattern;
• Now we sew the side seam and make cuts for armholes;
• When sewing sleeves, make markings for armholes;
• We sew ready-made sleeves to the workpiece;
• When processing the neck, we make the cutout in front deeper, after which we sew the edge, making an overcast seam;
• Then we make a small assembly on the neck and sleeves and sew on strips with a width of about 10 cm;
