Now measure from where your straps will start in the front, to the back where they will meet the back of the dress. 9 = 19.125 *This is your back binding measurement (Mine was 3 7/8) then add the back curve measurements (Mine- 7 1/4) and subtract seam allowance for the sides (and back seam if not cutting on the fold).
Measure the underarm curve from your front pattern piece. If you choose to not cut on the fold, make sure you are removing the seam allowance when making your measurements.** 9 = 7.2 I rounded this up to 7.25 Binding measurements 1 1/4 (L) by 7 1/4 (W) If you want skinnier binding, you can use a 1 inch length. Here is what my measurements looked like. Now take that measurement and multiply by. you need to measureįront curve measurement (from fold to strap point) _ x 2=_ *Make sure you are using a fabric measuring tape and following along the curve. Finish tracing the sides and hem of your back pattern piece.įinishing the neck in binding helps create a clean look and creates the straps for you! This part will require a few measurements and a bit of math since every person's measurements will be different. Using a curved ruler makes creating these new lines so much easier. I wanted my back to curve slightly, so I made my center mark about an inch lower than the lowest point of my armscye. Now using a straight edge, you are going to mark the center back. Or if you lowered the bottom of the armscye of your front piece, use that same measurement to lower the back. Create a mark at your underarm/side seam. Lay more tracing paper over your back pattern piece. You have a new front dress pattern piece! Now connect your dots and finish tracing the sides and bottom of your pattern piece. You can use the original underarm line, or lower it to your preference. I personally wanted the underarm area lowered since I was doing a spaghetti strap dress.
I wanted a somewhat low curve, so for my size, I measured up 1 and a half inches and placed a dot in the middle of the original shoulder piece. First, you will need to decide how much of a curve you want. I personally used the low scoop line for my first two, but I plan to try one halfway between the two neckline options.įor your next mark, this is where the neckline will turn into straps. Decide how low you want it to go, and how far over you want the straps to be. To create your new neckline, grab your front pattern piece and some tracing paper. A soft ponte like this one (affiliate) or a cotton spandex are just some options that would work well.įor the fitted underdress, I was dreaming of something simple, strappy, and totally 90s vibes. If you use the same steps, you should be able to get similar results! I also used Cupro Pique for my first version, and bamboo spandex for my second. Most of my adjustments are based on my measurements. *Just a heads up, I made the size XS and graded it to a medium at the hips. Want this mesh? I got mine here! (affiliate link) Pattern links - (Affiliated) Day to Night and Staycation I've been dreaming of making it in mesh ever since I first tested the pattern! But what to wear underneath to really highlight the flow-i-ness of the Staycation? Cue the Day to Night Dress Pattern! While I didn't want sleeves since I had a vision I wanted to achieve, the Day to Night was the perfect base to hack. The Staycation Dress Pattern is one of my absolute favorites.
