How to sew a skirt bell

Collected on the waist and folded to the bottom, the bell skirt attracts views with exquisite silhouette and ease. Appearing in the distant seventeenth century, she firmly won the love of ladies. This simple style allows you to hide the flaws of the figure (for example, too lush thighs) and advantageously emphasize its advantages. And to create such a skirt you will need only our instructions and several hours of free time.

1
Choose a fabric

First you need to decide where and in what weather you will wear your skirt. The best choice for warm pores is a thin flax or cotton. Warm and tender color gamma will perfectly complement the image of the queen of flowers. A serious business woman should give preference to more dense dark fabrics that will fit into the format of any business meeting. Perfect fine wool. For a business skirt, it is also worth thinking about the lining fabric.

Removing measure

So that the skirt is sitting on the figure, it is necessary to remove the measurements. To obtain the most accurate data, it is desirable to find an assistant. IMPORTANT: Mereks are removed on the linen, otherwise the clothes will distort the results. Now we measure the waist girth, grumps the hips, the length to the floor in front and behind. All this will come in handy to us for building patterns.

If you are craftswoman with experience, and no calculations will be frightened, take any like a skirt-bell you like. It remains only to fit the pattern under the figure. But if so far than what you make the first steps in the world of needlework, then you should choose a simpler way. So, we take a tracker and blacks on it two large squares, 150x150 cm, and cut them out. We fold our billets diagonally. By the way, if you want a lush skirt, like the princess, it is advisable to make round edges. We also draw a waist line.

On the one hand, we do not make up to the top of the centimeters 15 (here we will sew zipper).
To the edges look carefully, process them on Overlock. For the lature of the latter, you can use a special paw on the sewing machine or contact the grandmother's way - manual seam "Zigzag".
There is one more option for lazy or busy needlewomen: we buy a special adhesive tape in the store and glue it to the edges of the finished product iron.

Sewing belt

Belt is one of the important attributes of the skirt-bell. For him, we cut a rectangle from the fabric, the length of which is the volume of the waist of the girl (add also 4 cm on the fastener), and the width is twice as much as planned. From the inside, we strengthen the belly of Dublerin to keep the form. Bend it in half and add to the skirt. At the very end, we sew a button board and make a loop (manually or on a sewing machine).
