Building a base pattern is the easiest way (for beginners). Sheath dress: building a pattern and ready-made options Dress pattern size 56 with a sleeve
Pattern-base for full figures, for sizes 50-58, built according to the same method as But differs in some specific features: allowances and a line of the shoulder seam, associated with the fact that a magnificent bust and, very often, a full waist and stomach, require other allowances for a loose fit. And must be measured especially carefully.
Therefore, in this article, I decided to place a table with the real measurements of my clients, 50-58 sizes, with the types of figures "apple", "pear", "hourglass". They will help you build your own custom base pattern.
Table of measurements 50-58 sizes.
Features of calculations for patterns-bases 50-58 sizes.
Rule 1
If for sizes 44-50 0.5 cm is added to half of the chest circumference, then for patterns for full figures 54-58 - 0.7-1 cm. This is done so that the side seam does not move towards the front.
Rule 2
When constructing a front pattern of 54-58 sizes, due to the large size of the tuck - 11-15 cm, the shoulder seam line can be drawn at a significant slope. Because of this armhole, the front is small and short for such sizes. It is very difficult to sew a sleeve into it correctly and beautifully.
Therefore, when I build a pattern, I usually check the shoulder slope line with a control measure - oblique chest height - VGk. Even if it coincides with the drawn line of the shoulder, I “raise” the shoulder seam by 1-1.5 cm - the picture on the bottom collage. And, as a rule, when trying on, if we sew a model of a dress with sleeves, we deepen the armhole by 1.5-3 cm for blouses and dresses, and for jackets - by 2-4 cm
Rule 3
For full apple-shaped figures, the side seam line usually passes through the points at the intersection of the bust, hips and control line. And the width of the side and central tucks is only 2-2.5 cm
For hourglass and pear figures, it is more difficult to build a base pattern due to the large difference in the size of the chest, waist and hips. For example, if the exhaust gas is 110 cm, from is 90 cm, and the OB is 118, the width of the darts is 3 cm
As a result, a rather sharp bend in the side seam is obtained, which is difficult to iron when sewing a dress or jacket. Therefore, it is preferable to sew models with a central seam on the back, and redistribute the width of the darts. If the deflection along this seam is 1 cm, then the side tucks can be reduced by 0.5-0.7 cm each. And I prefer to sew a zipper, when the style allows it, into the central seam of the back. If the model of the dress with a skirt is “semi-sun”, then the zipper is sewn into the side seam.
Calculations for pattern base 50-58 sizes.
The allowance for a loose fit to the chest circumference, for a dress and a blouse, even an adjacent silhouette, it is better to make 7-8 cm, for a semi-adjacent and for a jacket - 9-10 cm
Calculation of measurements for size 50.
OT - 78 or OT - 84
(OG + 8): 2 = 108: 2 = 54: 2 = 27
For the front pattern, add 0.5, for the back pattern, subtract 0.5 cm
OG on the front chest line - 27.5
OG back - 26.5
Calculation of the dimensions of the darts.
From \u003d 78 cm + 4 \u003d 82: 2 \u003d 41
From the calculated measurement of half the OG with an allowance, we subtract the resulting value of half the waist with allowances: 54 - 41 \u003d 13: 4 \u003d 3.2 - for an hourglass figure.
With OT \u003d 84, the size of the darts is as follows: 84 + 4 \u003d 88: 2 \u003d 44
54 - 44 \u003d 10 cm: 4 \u003d 2.5 cm - for an apple silhouette figure.
Calculation of the size of the hip line.
(OB + 4): 2 = 104 + 4 = 108: 2 = 54
For a figure with such measurements, the points of the front line of the chest and the line of the hips are located on the same control line.
If OB \u003d 110 cm, then after calculating: (110 + 4 \u003d 114) : 2 \u003d 57, the difference between half the circumference of the chest with allowances and half the circumference of the hips with allowances, would be 3 cm.
57 - 54 \u003d 3: 2 \u003d +1.5 cm - this value must be set aside from the control line on the front and back pattern along the hips. For the front - to the left, for the back - to the right.
Calculation of measurements for a pattern of 52 sizes.
OG \u003d (104 + 8) : 2 \u003d 112: 2 \u003d 56: 2 \u003d 28
0.5 = 28.5 - front, - 0.5 = 27.5 - back
OT \u003d (92 + 4): 2 \u003d 48
Darts = 56 - 48 = 8: 4 = 2 cm - each tuck
OB \u003d (112 + 4) : 2 \u003d 116: 2 \u003d 58
58 - 56 \u003d 2 cm: 2 - + 1 cm along the hip line from the control line.
Calculation of measurements for size 54.
OG \u003d (108 + 8) : 2 \u003d 116: 2 \u003d 58: 2 \u003d 29
OG transfer \u003d 29 + 0.7 \u003d 29.7
OG back \u003d 29 - 0.7 \u003d 28.3
From = (94 + 4) : 2 = 98: 2 = 49
Darts = 58 - 49 = 11: 4 = 2.7
OB \u003d (116 + 4) : 2 \u003d 120: 2 \u003d 60 - 58 \u003d 2: 2 \u003d +1 cm from the control lines along the hip line
Calculation of measurements for size 58.
OG \u003d (116 + 8) : 2 \u003d 124: 2 \u003d 62: 2 \u003d 31
OG transfer = 31 + 1 = 32
Back exhaust gas 31 - 1 = 30
OT \u003d (98 + 4) \u003d 2 \u003d 102: 2 \u003d 51
62 - 51 \u003d 11: 4 \u003d 2.7 cm - darts
OB \u003d (122 + 4) : 2 \u003d 126: 2 \u003d 63
63 - 62 \u003d 1 cm: 2 \u003d + 0.5 cm from the point of the reference line on the line of the hips.
In order to build a base pattern for a dress with a straight silhouette, draw lines parallel to the middle of the front and back, from a point on the line of the hips, to the required length of the dress.
Using such a pattern, if it is built accurately and tested, you will be able to model and sew any of the models.
For a trapezoid dress, continue the control line to the required length and set the point of inclination of the side seam at a distance of 12-22 cm to the left of it - for the front half of the pattern. For the pattern of the back, respectively, to the right. This distance can be increased to 25 cm, but no more, especially if the length of the dress is up to the knee. The side seams will simply “fold” inward, and the dress will look sloppy.
If you want a more flared dress, then choose a model with an undercut under the bust and a half-sun or A-line cut at the bias. You can choose a dress model with reliefs - each detail changes along the bottom line to the required width.

In this section, I published ready-made women's patterns that were used in my work. They are tested and I hope they will be useful to you too. When I sewed to order, I accumulated a huge number of patterns. I began to digitize them to save space in the apartment. And now I'm sharing some patterns with you.
Then I started to build pattern drawings in Valentina, Optitex, AutoCAD, RedCafe, Assol. But in the end I chose the free Valentina program. And now I am building parametric drawings of the bases. Then I change the measurements in the program and print out any basis in 5 minutes. You, too, can make tremendous progress in this matter if you study Valentina. It's free and easy to use.
The basic basis of the dress
Pattern-basis of a dress of an adjacent silhouette with a set-in sleeve. The basis allows you to model a variety of styles of dresses, jackets, shirts. The pattern of a single-seam set-in sleeve is in a separate PDF file. Patterns are designed for figures, the dimensional characteristics of which are indicated below. Before cutting, adjust, if necessary, the pattern to fit your measurements. Also, the base has the necessary allowances for freedom of fitting, used when sewing an adjacent dress.
Total bust increase: 3 cm. Total waist increase: 5 cm. Total hip increase: 5 cm.
Dress length on the back: 100 cm (from the 7th cervical vertebra down)
The main parameters of the pattern:
Cr 42 p = Ob 46. Cr 44 p = Ob 48. Cr 46 p = Ob 50. Cr 48 p = Ob 52. Cr 50 p = Ob 54. Cr 52 p = Ob 54. Cr 54 p = Ob 56. Cr 56 p \u003d About 58. Cr 58 p \u003d About 60. Cr 60 p \u003d About 62.
All patterns are divided into 2 groups - sizes 42-50, sizes 52-60. You need to download a pattern with your size in the group and after gluing the sheets, just cut your own.

This section is dedicated to curvy women. We will consider and learn how to build patterns using several methods that are used when sewing clothes for obese women. Here, as in previous lessons, we use step by step instructions building drawings of the base of the dress, sleeves, etc.
As an example, in the first option, we will take measurements that correspond to size 54 (bust circumference 108cm), so to speak, for women of medium splendor. In the second option, we use, as an example, measurements corresponding to size 60 (bust circumference 120cm), for women with more magnificent forms. In both cases, we build patterns for the base of the dress. semiadjacent silhouette, in accordance with this, we take into account the allowance for a free fit along the lines of the chest, waist and hips.
You take measurements from your figure or from the figure of the person for whom you will sew a dress.
In any case, we recommend that after building a drawing and making a pattern, check it on something simple. For example, sew a dressing gown from cheap fabric. If you are not at all sure, use an old sheet or another thing that has served its age for sewing.
As a parting word: I wish you courage in your endeavors, perseverance, perseverance and patience in achieving your goal. Step by step, moving forward, you will overcome the path to perfection.
We use exactly step by step drawing instructions to demonstrate and convince you that in fact everything is not as complicated as it might seem at first glance. When you look at the finished drawing of the base pattern and have not encountered anything like this before, you may get the impression that all this is incredibly difficult and almost impossible. However, I note that the impossible is most often just something that we have not yet tried to do. Good luck!
SEMI-FITTING DRESS FOR WOMEN OF MIDDLE COMPLETENESS (for example, size 54)
To build a pattern drawing, you need to take the following measurements:
In order to take measurements more accurately, it is necessary to mark the starting points: the seventh cervical vertebra, which is well defined when the head is tilted, as well as the shoulder line at the base of the neck and at the junction of the arm with the shoulder. Use pins or chalk for this if the woman is dressed. If you need to put a point on the body, use a felt-tip pen, which is easily erased with an alcohol-containing liquid after the end of this procedure.
It’s good if the person you are taking measurements from is wearing a thin dress, or better, only underwear. He, or rather she, since we are talking about a woman, should stand straight, without tension, i.e. maintain your normal posture. That is what I draw your attention to. Because, often a woman, when taking measurements or trying on, especially if she sees her reflection in the mirror, wanting to look slimmer, tightens her stomach, straightens her back, etc. The desire to look better is a good desire, but when taking measurements, it can distort the real state of things. And a well-fitting dress on fitting, in ordinary life, will not be as comfortable as we would like, and as it should be.
Therefore, taking into account the above, turn the client away from the mirror, distract him with a peaceful conversation, tie a string around his waist, mark the starting points and proceed to measurements.
There are some differences between the proposed methods. in the methods of taking measurements, in the number of measurements, in the name of the measurements, etc. In this technique, the procedure for taking measurements is as follows:
Name of measurements and symbols | cm | Taking measurements |
|---|---|---|
Product length (Di) | Measure from the cervical point (seventh cervical vertebra), bringing the centimeter to the waist and to the required length. |
|
Armhole depth (Gpr) | Measure from the seventh cervical vertebra to a horizontal line drawn with a centimeter through the armpits. |
|
Back length to waist (Dst) | Measured from the seventh cervical vertebra to the waist line, taking into account the prominence of the shoulder blades. To do this, a thin ruler can be attached to the protruding points of the shoulder blades, the centimeter tape should pass over the ruler. |
|
Back width (W) | Measure horizontally along the shoulder blades, between the upper corners of the armpits. |
|
Half neck (Ssh) | The measuring tape should run along the base of the neck, behind the seventh cervical vertebrae, in front of the jugular cavity (depression). |
|
Semi-girth of the chest 1st (СгI) | The centimeter tape runs horizontally, behind the protruding points of the shoulder blades, in front above the base of the chest. |
|
Half bust 2nd (CrII) | The centimeter tape runs horizontally behind the protruding points of the shoulder blades, in front along the protruding points of the chest. |
|
Groove opening size (Brv) | Measured vertically. It is removed simultaneously with the measurements of the half-girths of the chest. This is the distance from the base of the chest to its highest point. |
|
Waist (St) | Measure horizontally at the narrowest point. |
|
Half hips (Sat) | Measured horizontally, behind the protruding points of the buttocks, in front, taking into account the bulge of the abdomen. |
|
Root height (Br) | Measure along the back from the shoulder at the base of the neck to the waist line. The measuring tape runs parallel to the spine. |
|
Back shoulder height (Vps) | Measure along the back from the point of articulation of the arm with the shoulder to the waist. |
|
Armhole Width (Spr) | It is measured horizontally under the arm: from the place of articulation of the arm with the body from the back side to the articulation of the arm with the body from the front side. It can be calculated using a ruler located horizontally in the armpit. |
|
Side length (db) | Measure from the back side from the top edge of the ruler located in the armpit to the waist line. |
|
Shoulder length (Dp) | Measure along the shoulder from the base of the neck to the point of articulation of the arm with the shoulder. |
|
Chest Height (Hg) | Measure from the shoulder line at the base of the neck to the protruding point of the chest. |
|
Front Shoulder Height (RH) | Measure from the point of articulation of the arm with the shoulder to the waist. |
|
Front length to waist (dpt) | Measure from the shoulder at the base of the neck to the waist line. |
|
Center of the chest (Cg) | Measure horizontally between the most protruding points of the chest. |
|
Front Width (W) | Measured horizontally above the base of the chest between the corners of the armpits. |
|
Width of the front at the protruding points of the chest (ShpII) Control measurement | It is measured horizontally between the corners of the armpits at the most protruding points of the chest. |
|
Sleeve length (dr) | It is measured from the point of articulation of the arm with the shoulder to the desired length. |
|
Sleeve length to elbow (DRL) | Measured from the point of articulation of the arm with the shoulder to the elbow. |
|
Arm circumference (Op) | Measured horizontally at the fullest upper part of the arm (at armpit level). |
|
Girth of the wrist (hand) Oz | Measured at the wrist joint, taking into account the bone. |
|
Free fit allowances For a free fit, add 4-5 cm to the measurement of the second half-girth of the chest Cr II, to the measure of the half-girth of the hips Sat - 3 cm and to the measure of the half-girth of the waist St - 2 cm. |

Groove depth.
from point T13 right and left put aside 1.25 cm and put points T14 and T15, which we connect with points B5 and B9. (See Fig.42)
Construction completed.
But before you start cutting, do not be too lazy to take a centimeter and check the main measurements again. Pay special attention to the waist circumference, since in this technique, when constructing darts along the waist line, not a calculated value is used, but a constant. If during the check you find significant discrepancies between the figure and the drawing (namely in the waist circumferences), they can be easily eliminated by reducing or increasing the opening of the tucks along the waistline.
This is a pattern drawing for the base of a dress - a guide to creating a wide variety of models. Before proceeding with modeling, it is necessary to check the pattern, “put” it on the figure, and, if necessary, make adjustments. And only after full confidence that everything is in order, you can safely begin to create.
And remember, the road will be mastered by the walking one!
I sincerely wish you success!
A laconic sheath dress came into fashion at the beginning of the last century and has not left the ladies' wardrobe since then. Its main feature is the cut, "outlining" the figure and tapering down. "Cases" most often have a rounded neckline and do not have sleeves. However, over the long years of its existence, the dress has changed and become more practical. So, today the style of a sheath dress with a sleeve is especially popular, the pattern of which is presented in this article. Such a model, if you make friends with the appropriate accessories and shoes, is equally well suited for work, evening out and everyday wear. By the way, "cases" were the favorite outfits of such famous women as Audrey Hepburn and Jacqueline Kennedy.
In addition, a sheath dress is a basic pattern, according to which you can later model other versions of dresses. Today I propose to study how to build a dress pattern according to the figure, as well as ready-made patterns and several drawings with calculations.

Ready-made patterns of sheath dress
Well, if you don’t have the desire to mess around with pattern modeling, I suggest downloading ready-made versions of dresses with and without sleeves. Dimensions are according to the European size chart (see below).
I also offer another version of a sleeveless sheath dress with a round yoke. This pattern comes in 3 sizes - 38, 40 and 42.
And a few more drawings of patterns for a sheath dress with ready-made calculations (the sizes in the photo caption are indicated according to the size table above):
