How to sew a puffy petticoat for a ball gown. Petticoat or petticoat

Nude puffy skirts were very popular in the 50s and 60s. Mostly they were worn with petticoats, which made these skirts so fluffy.

Such a petticoat is also perfect for long puffy wedding and ball skirts, both gathered at the waist, and, like the sun and half sun. In addition, the petticoat adds volume to the overskirt and replaces the lining.

Petticoats come in different types: hard and soft, fluffy and smooth, with tiers and frills. Which to choose? It all depends on the purpose (for example, if you need a wedding petticoat), style (for example, a petticoat for a dress with a train), as well as the fabric of the overskirt.

The simplest fluffy petticoat is a rectangle of fabric, gathered at the waist, the top is gathered with an elastic band.

A more complicated option, but the most commonly used one, is a more puffy petticoat for a dress, expanding towards the bottom. It is made in tiers. For him, you can take a pattern of any tiered skirt from the magazine. For example, model 123 from Burda 3/2013.

There is only one drawback to a frilled petticoat: it will require a lot of fabric.

• for a long petticoat made of hard tulle: approximately 4.5 m with a width of 3 m;
• for a long petticoat made of soft tulle: approximately 7.5 m with a width of 3 m.

Petticoat cut

Cut scheme

Step 1

The basis of the fluffy petticoat is a half-sun skirt. Rows of frills are sewn on it. The top of the skirt is gathered with an elastic band.

To build a skirt, we need to calculate two radii:
Radius 1 (R1) - for the waist under the elastic, so the girth of the skirt at the top should be such that the skirt is easy to put on.
Take the Girth of the Hips (OB) + 10 cm, from here
R1 \u003d (OB + 10): 3.14
Radius 2 (R2) is the bottom of the skirt, so it is equal to the length of the skirt plus R1
R2= R1 + Skirt length (see diagram)

We fold the fabric in half and draw two radii from the upper edge of the fold, give an allowance of 1-1.5 cm along the waist and side. An allowance is not needed along the bottom, the bottom of the tulle is not processed.

Step 2. Cut out the skirt

We unfold the skirt in one layer and mark the places for sewing frills. To do this, we retreat down 10-15 cm from the waist, draw a line. The top, longest frill will be sewn along it.

We divide the remaining length of the skirt into three parts if the skirt is on the floor and into two parts if the skirt is over the knee.
I got 27 cm. We draw lines at regular intervals (see diagram).

The bottom frill is the shortest, in my case it is 27 cm, then comes the middle frill, which completely covers the bottom frill, it is twice as long (54 cm).

Ruffle cut pattern

Further, these frills are covered by the upper, longest frill, it is three times longer than the lower frill (81 cm).

Step 3. Calculate the length of each frill

To do this, you need to measure the length of the line along which the frill is sewn. The frill should be three times as long as this line. Therefore, for the lower frill, we cut out three strips of 3 m each. In total, the length of the lower frill = 9m.

For the middle one - two strips of 3 m each. Total length of the middle frill = 6 m.

For the top frill you need one strip = 3m long.

ruffle skirt

If the tulle is hard or semi-hard, then we make the frills single.

To make the fluffy petticoat opaque, the base (semi-sun skirt) can be cut out of the lining fabric, and tulle frills can be sewn onto it. In this case, the consumption of tulle will be reduced to 3 m.

But since I have soft tulle, I need thicker frills, so I make them double, with a fold in the middle. To do this, I double the width of each frill. This increases the consumption of fabric, but the petticoat becomes twice as magnificent. Since tulle weighs little, the skirt remains light, but very fluffy (see frill cutting pattern).

Sewing a petticoat

Step 1

On the half-sun skirt, mark the places for sewing frills. Spread out the skirt in one layer. Do not sew the skirt before sewing on the frills! It is more convenient to sew frills on a flat piece of a skirt.

Step 2

Sew the parts of each of the frills into one long one. To do this, the short ends of the frills are superimposed on each other by 5 mm and adjusted to each other with an overlay seam. Do not sew frills into the ring!

Step 3

Fold each frill in half lengthwise and iron along the fold.

Then unfold in one layer and lay the landing line along the fold with the widest stitch on the machine.

Step 4

Put the frill on the skirt in expanded form like this. So that the edge of the frill coincides with the edge of the skirt, and the middle of the frill with a line - with the marking line on the skirt.

Pin the frill to the skirt with pins across the stitching, retreating along the side of the skirt 1-1.5 cm from the edge. This is necessary in order to sew the skirt along the seam in the future, without capturing the frills.

It is convenient to divide the skirt into 4 parts and the frill into 4 parts (in half and again in half), pin the frill along the edges and along these four equal parts, and then tighten the thread and evenly distribute the assembly in these areas. So the frill throughout the skirt will be collected evenly. You need to pin the frill often so that it does not move.

Step 5

Sew the frill to the skirt on the typewriter with a frequent stitch, remove the pins and the landing line.

Step 6

Turn the frill down and iron the fold. If single-layer, then it is shirred along the upper cut and adjusted to the skirt along the marking line. In this case, it is necessary to allow 1 cm of allowance for the long cut of the frill!

This is how it will look on a tailored skirt

If you want only the edge or half-sun to be lush, you can sew such a petticoat with only one frill. For example, a petticoat for a dress for the summer, a light skirt or a children's dress. The edges of the frills coquettishly look out from under the skirt and hold the edge of the upper skirt.

Step 7

In exactly the same way, sew on the middle frill, turn it down and iron it.

Such a petticoat can be used for more fluffy skirts, for example, tatyanka, sun or half sun. In this case, a conical effect is achieved - the skirt fits the figure at the waist, and smoothly expands towards the bottom.

Step 8

A tulle petticoat, which can be sewn at home with minimal financial costs and sewing skills, will help to add splendor to the dress. So your dresses will look more airy and elegant.

Necessary materials for work

For sewing, you will need materials such as:

1. Sewing machine;
2. Scissors;
3. Sewing chalk or cute;
4. Plain or lining fabric - 1 m;
5. Fatin - 4 m, depending on how the petticoat will be - lush or standard;
6. Elastic band - 1 m;
7. Satin ribbon - 4 m;
8. Pin or paperclip;
9. Needle and thread;
10. Overlock or overlock foot.

Sizing

Before starting work, it is necessary to take measurements and calculate the width of the parts. First of all, measure the length of the petticoat itself, then divide this value into 3 parts, that is, the width of the backing fabric is 1/3 of the length, and the tulle is 2/3. Also measure your waist. Record the measurements.

Marking the line and future seams

With sewing chalk on the fabric, mark the necessary details. The height of the lining fabric should be equal to 1/3 of the length, and the width of the part should be equal to the waist circumference. The height of the tulle part is 2/3 of the length of the petticoat. To calculate the width, multiply the waist circumference by 6, this will be the width of the tulle you need to cut off.

Cut out the necessary details

From fabric and tulle, it is necessary to cut out the following details with scissors:

1. From the lining fabric - 2 parts.
2. From tulle - 1 detail (depending on the need for the splendor of the product).

If you need a more magnificent petticoat, cut two more strips of tulle, which in height should be equal to 1/3 of the length of the product as a whole.

Sewing fabric pieces

Using a sewing machine, we begin to sew the details of the fabric. First, we sew the side narrower - this is the belt of the petticoat, then the bottom, to which it is necessary to subsequently sew the tulle. From the upper side we grab about 1 cm in order to insert the elastic later.

Sew tulle to fabric

We sew the tulle to the fabric with a sewing machine, while you need to make folds of tulle in order to evenly distribute it. Having chosen the option of a petticoat more magnificent than usual, you need to sew one piece in the middle of the fabric part, and the second to the tulle in the middle.

Sewing on the inside

After all the details are sewn to each other, you should sew the tulle and fabric on the inside to make a skirt. Overlock all stitches.

We insert the rubber band into the product

Attach a pin to the end of the elastic band. We thread the elastic into the belt of the petticoat, where we left 1 cm. Having threaded it, it is necessary to tie the ends of the elastic, and cut off the excess elastic. Sew up carefully with a thread with a needle so that the elastic is not visible.

How to sew a petticoat?

A petticoat or underskirt is an element of clothing designed to create volume in the main skirt. Thanks to this accessory, the outfit looks more feminine and airy. The petticoat is an essential attribute of the style of the 50s, and is also often used in the manufacture of evening and ball gowns.

Most often, the petticoat is used with dresses in the floor or medium length. The article describes how to independently sew a simple single-layer and very lush multi-tiered petticoat.

Material selection

For the manufacture of lush petticoats, taffeta or tulle is most often used. The more rigid the material you choose, the better the product will hold its shape. Organza, chiffon or ordinary lining fabric is perfect as the basis for such skirts.

The base can also be made of tulle, but in this case the petticoat will create discomfort while wearing, it can ruin the stockings or the fabric of the main skirt.

How to sew a petticoat without a base

This option is made in the form of a sun skirt. 4 petals are cut out in an expanded form, which is a circle, which are subsequently sewn together.

Materials and fixtures:

Instruction:

1. There are several options for using a petticoat: you can sew it to the bodice (skirt) of the dress or stretch an elastic band into it around the waist. In the first case, measure the girth of the part of the suit to which you plan to sew the petticoat, in the second, the waist circumference.
2. Divide the resulting number by 16 (4 petals folded 4 times). Remember the result.
3. Take 4 square pieces of tulle. The size depends on the estimated length of the petticoat. For dresses of medium length, squares with a side of 100 cm are enough. Lay the cuts one on top of the other and fold them in half twice.
4. On the central corner, you need to measure a line equal to the length of the quotient obtained in paragraph 2. You will need to cut off the corner along this line.
5. Set aside the length of the petticoat from the waistline. The latter is usually 4-5 cm shorter than the length of the skirt of the dress. Cut out the pattern.
6. You should have 4 circles with a hole in the middle. Cut them along the radius lines and sew the pieces together along these lines. As a result, you will have a fluffy skirt, the upper edge of which is equal to the waist circumference.
7. Sew a satin ribbon at the top and bottom of the seams, and process the bottom edge with it.
8. Sew the petticoat to the dress or decorate the top with a linen elastic.

Such an accessory provides a uniform volume and does not create folds under the clothes in the waist area.

Petticoat patterns.

With the help of this not very expensive material, even the simplest sundresses and dresses look incredibly chic and elegant. Due to its versatility, tulle is used to create a bright dance image, and for a gentle and lush wedding, and even for an ordinary romantic one. Today we will focus on chic puffy petticoats made of tulle and mesh. So, let's begin.

How to sew a puffy tulle petticoat, mesh for children's and ballroom, transparent, openwork dresses: patterns, description, photo

tulle- light mesh fabric, which is widely used in our time for the manufacture of beautiful fluffy petticoats for wedding, ball and ordinary dresses. Decor items such as ribbons, bows and even flowers are also made from tulle.

Mesh material (mesh) is also very much in demand. Very often with the help of this fabric complement the main material. Thanks to the mesh, the splendor of the product is increased.

The option of a dress with a puffy tulle or mesh petticoat is perfect for little fashionistas. Thanks to the lush petticoat, the dress looks much more beautiful and elegant. It often happens that there is very little time for sewing such a product, it is in this case that this simplest version of a fluffy petticoat for your princess will come to the rescue.

• We take 50 pieces of tulle or mesh, depending on what you have chosen. All pieces should be the same size, if you are at a loss with their sizes, make standard ones - 45x15.
• Next, we measure the circumference of the hips of the baby and multiply the resulting figure by 3, and also do not forget to add a couple of “spare” centimeters.
• We take an elastic band for clothes (it should tightly wrap around the waist, but do not press) and tie it. We place the resulting elastic in a place convenient for you so that you can easily tie pieces of fabric to it.

Tulle petticoat

• We take a piece of our pre-prepared tulle and thread it through an elastic band. At the same time, identical segments should remain on each side of the elastic band, then we tie the ends of the strips together. It is very important that during these manipulations the gum remains in its original position, that is, it does not twist.
• We do the same with all the tulle. Try to distribute the stripes evenly, otherwise our petticoat will look bad.
• After you need to sew strips of tulle to the elastic.
• For practicality and beauty, the ends of the tulle can be overcast. Our simple petticoat is ready.
• Also, this option is perfect for medium length and short ball gowns. In this case, it’s not scary if the tulle peeks out slightly from under the dress, you can take material with sparkles, patterns and patterns. Such additions will add brightness to the dress.

Lush tulle petticoat for a transparent dress We suggest sewing in the following way:

• First you need to take 4 meters of tulle and about 1-1.5 m of lining fabric.
• We need lining fabric for the base, and the base, in turn, is needed so that our tulle is securely fastened, and the process of wearing things does not cause discomfort.
• So, from the fabric for the base, we must cut out 4 flaps, their shape should be wedge-shaped. The dimensions of these flaps should be calculated as follows: their length is about 3 cm less than the length of the skirt, and the width depends on the style, but it’s definitely not worth making them too narrow.

• Now all the flaps need to be sewn in such a way that in the end we get a solid canvas.
• Let's start preparing the tulle. It needs to be cut into strips of 1.7 m x25 cm, then we fold these strips in half and sew them to our base in this form. You should pay attention to the fact that the folds should be even, and they should be sewn from the bottom up, while the top fold should cover the bottom one by at least 3 cm.
• This type of petticoat can be safely sewn not only for a transparent dress, but also for an openwork one. Please note that for an openwork dress, the petticoat must be sewn unequivocally shorter than the main product, and make sure that pieces of tulle do not peek out from under the outfit, otherwise all beauty will be spoiled. We also recommend choosing only tulle for an openwork dress, since the mesh can tear the product.

How to sew a puffy tulle petticoat, mesh for a women's, ball, transparent dress in the style of dudes and a sun skirt: patterns, description, photo

Stilyagi style - what is it most often associated with? Well, of course, these are bright dresses with puffy skirts on petticoats, as well as multi-colored plaid suits. Today we will focus on dresses.

• Naturally, initially we need a base to which the petticoat will be attached. When everything is decided with this moment, we proceed to the choice of tulle. For sewing a petticoat for both women's and ball gowns in this style, we need about 5 meters of tulle.
• So let's get started. We take our tulle and cut it into wide ribbons. If you find it difficult to decide on the width of the tapes, make them about 15-25 cm.
• Now we collect our ribbons and sew them to the edge of the petticoat.
• We would like to draw your attention to the fact that a tulle petticoat is best suited for women's dresses, because a rigid mesh can ruin a dress, and besides, it is uncomfortable to sit with such a petticoat. If you are making a petticoat for a ball gown, in which you do not need to walk for a long time, it is recommended to make the product from a mesh. In this case, you can choose a grid with sparkles and various patterns. A mesh product will betray the greatest splendor to the dress.

For sun skirt the petticoat is sewn according to the same principle. The only advice would be to add another row of tulle or mesh. Thanks to the presence of the second row, you will get a smooth transition. We sew this tier a little higher than the first, while we collect our ribbons not so tightly, this is what will give the effect of a smooth transition.

The simplest option for a puffy petticoat for a transparent dress is the following:

• We measure the waist circumference and divide the result by 16. Cut 4 squares from the fabric. Based on a dress of medium length, we take the side of the square 100 m.
• We put all the cut out squares on top of each other, and then fold in half 2 times. Then you need to find the central corner and directly cut out the pattern, in accordance with the one indicated in the figure. As a result of all the manipulations, we get 4 circles, which we then cut as shown in the figure.
• Next, we sew all the details and get a puffy petticoat in the style of dudes under a transparent dress.

• In a glass of water, thoroughly mix all the starch, at this time pour the rest of the water into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Next, slowly pour the water with starch from the glass into boiling water, while stirring constantly.

• We bring our solution to readiness. Cooking time is approximately 5-7 minutes. As soon as the liquid becomes transparent, and the consistency resembles jelly, the solution is ready. We are waiting for the liquid to cool down.
• If you notice that there are lumps in the solution, then they must be removed. To remove them, we pass the starch paste through a sieve.
• It is important to know that if your petticoat consists of several tiers, then you need to start starching the product from the lower tier. Starch all tiers separately.
• So, in order to starch the petticoat, we lower it into the prepared solution and hold it for about 7 minutes. In this case, you can move the thing from side to side, but do not remove it from the solution.
• Having taken out the petticoat, it is not necessary to wring it out, except perhaps very slightly.
• After we put the product on a previously prepared surface (we cover the surface with a clean sheet).
• As soon as you see that the petticoat is barely damp, proceed to ironing.

For the manufacture of lush petticoats, taffeta or tulle is most often used. The more rigid the material you choose, the better the product will hold its shape.

How to sew a petticoat without a base This option is made in the form of a sun skirt

4 petals are cut out in expanded form, which is a circle, which are subsequently sewn together

Materials and fixtures:

Fatin; satin ribbon; sewing machine; scissors; threads; colored crayons; tape measure.

Instructions: There are several options for using a petticoat: you can sew it to the bodice (skirt) of the dress or stretch an elastic band into it around the waist. In the first case, measure the circumference of the part of the suit to which you plan to sew the petticoat, in the second - the waist circumference. Divide the resulting number by 16 (4 petals folded 4 times). Remember the result. Take 4 square pieces of tulle. The size depends on the estimated length of the petticoat. For dresses of medium length, squares with a side of 100 cm are enough. Lay the cuts one on top of the other and fold them in half twice. On the central corner, you need to measure a line equal to the length of the quotient obtained in paragraph 2. You will need to cut off the corner along this line.

petticoat length

Set aside the length of the petticoat from the waistline. The latter is usually less than the length of the skirt of the dress by 4–5 cm.

Cut out the pattern. You should have 4 circles with a hole in the middle. Cut them along the radius lines and sew the pieces together along these lines. As a result, you will have a fluffy skirt, the upper edge of which is equal to the waist circumference. Sew a satin ribbon at the top and bottom of the seams, and process the bottom edge with it. Sew the petticoat to the dress or decorate the top with a linen elastic. Such an accessory provides a uniform volume and does not create folds under the clothes in the waist area.


Fluffy petticoat based on

This option can be used both independently and put on top of the finished crinoline. It is convenient to use lining fabric as a base, and the volume is created by the same tulle.

Production: From the lining fabric, cut 4 wedges, the upper part of which is equal to 1/4 of the waist circumference. The bottom edge of the wedges depends on the desired volume. Sew the wedges so that you get an even canvas. Cut the tulle into strips 30 cm wide.

Start sewing on the frills from the bottom. Make even folds along the seam.
The second level of tulle should overlap the first by about a third.

So you get a uniform volume, which will gradually increase from the waist to the bottom. Continue sewing tiers onto the lining.
After finishing the frills, sew the petticoat along the vertical cut.

Be sure to finish the edge of the lower tier of tulle with a satin ribbon. Sew the product to the bodice of the dress or put it on an elastic band.

2. Petticoats designed not to create volume, but to be worn under knitted or translucent dresses

. We try to select models without design frills, comfortable and functional. All offered skirts contain elastane (lycra), which allows them to fit the figure without changing the silhouette. The fabric is thin, but dense, allows you to wear dresses even from chiffon. Pay attention to petticoats "mini", short and fitted. They do not interfere with movements and are almost invisible, especially skin-colored models.

Petticoat under a summer dress

Since ancient times, women, girls and girls have worn a petticoat under a dress, especially in the summer season. This was considered an inalienable rule of etiquette, a sign of good taste and was included in the mandatory framework of decency. Today, these traditions have long lost their relevance. Now such a wardrobe item as a petticoat under a dress is considered an element of a themed outfit. In everyday life, such underwear is useless, due to the popularity of tight-fitting styles, women's trousers and short lengths.

However, using a petticoat, you can create the most beautiful and feminine outfits. For example, if you wear this piece of clothing under a ball gown, then the image of a princess is guaranteed to you. After all, the petticoat adds volume and helps keep the hem of the dress in shape. However, much also depends on the material from which the skirt is sewn.

Decorative petticoat. The most popular is the underskirt made of tulle, which increases the volume of the dress and makes it even more elegant. Such models perform a decorative function. Stylists are increasingly using tulle petticoats for wedding dresses.

Underwear-skirt under the dress. If you're looking for a petticoat that doesn't add a lot of volume, silk or cotton models are best. Natural fabrics do not float and do not create the illusion of massiveness and bulkiness.

Today, only one style of clothing involves the use of a petticoat under a dress, and that is boho or boho-chic. Lovers of such extraordinary ethnic clothes always wear beautiful petticoats, peeking out a little from under the sundress. Thus, fans of the boho style demonstrate a multi-layered beautiful outfit that matches the original direction.

*Today, fashionable evening dresses require a tight corset and full skirt. Such models are suitable for both very thin young ladies, focusing on their thin waist, and curvaceous girls, allowing you to pay attention to their luxurious breasts and hiding full hips behind endless folds.


The underskirt is made of cotton. The top is made of lining fabric, and two frills are sewn on the bottom. Everything is trimmed with cotton embroidery and delicate nylon lace.
Skirt width at the bottom 4.5 meters http://www.livemaster.ru/item/10428881-odezhda-nizhnyaya-yubka
*IMPORTANT:
in no case do you sew from tulle and tulle. it quickly loses its shape and is very unpleasant when worn on the skin !!
use either special fabrics for petticoats - the link is in the description, or cotton or organza or chiffon.
The longer the first 2 layers, the thinner the petticoat!

The petticoat consists of 2 layers and 3 tiers. The strips of each tier are of different lengths, the longest is the lower one (I look at the length of the strip according to the width of the fabric, I take about 3 widths for the bottom strip, the long ones are gathered to the shorter ones).
The width of the stripes depends on how long you need. I have a lower band 20 cm, an average 15 cm, an upper 15 cm + allowances. And for an elastic band of about 4 cm. This gives a length of about 50 cm.
Yes, I did the lining, but it’s just not convenient for me with it (I removed it). If the pantyhose does not catch without lining, maybe I process everything on an overlock.

*If necessary, hold a long dress (stairs, bend down, transport, etc.), a girl in a long dress crouches a little and takes the dress in her fist from the side just above the level of her knees.
Why on the side? But because this girl does not sparkle with her legs! And at the same time, the skirt was saved from shuffling up the stairs, since it was deprived of free wide movement. There are still nuances - when you go down, you grab at your knees and slightly moving your hand back, and when you go up, then vice versa, a little ahead. And did you notice? MOST brides do not comply with this and lift up their dresses on a crinoline with both hands (at the same time on the fly for some reason) along with a petticoat high in front, exposing legs to the knees and allowing the dress to cling to the back. And they tried so hard, our craftswomen sewed for her ...

*About sewing on frills, especially on petticoats.

Why do I want to give the following little-known ways to sew on frills?
- Because, firstly, they completely cover the cut of the seam, which is important if, for example, you use barbed mesh, organza and other muck :). - And in general, a cut is not the most pleasant thing for the body / tights.
And secondly, these are rigid seams that bristle a hundred times more than the usual primitive strike, which everyone always uses.

1.Zaposhivka, or linen seam.

13.

4.French seam with stitching.

Do the same (see 3), then press the seam up and stitch it to the skirt.

5. I don’t even know what to call it, but this (in my practice) is the most sticky seam. Very elastic and fluffy. I'll call it a double wrap.
I don't have a picture, I'll try it on my fingers.
- Sew the frill to the skirt face to face. Frill allowance 4 mm, skirt allowance 12 mm.
- smooth out the skirt allowance by 4 mm, then tuck in another 4 mm, wrapping the allowance of the first seam with the skirt allowance.
- Sew this hem to the first 1 mm allowance from the first seam.
