How to connect the tiers of a skirt with lace. Tiered skirt. Materials for sewing tiered skirts

Tiers are the connected rows or layers of individual parts that make up the model. Tiers of skirts can be either the same or different widths (ascending; the upper tier is wider, and the subsequent ones are of the same width, or any other option).

Skirt with ruffles of moderate width

The basis for the construction is the front panel. The front and back of the skirt can be cut according to one pattern, if the cut details for them are the same.

1. Determine the number of tiers (optional, depending on the length of the skirt).

In our example, the length of the skirt is 75 cm, the number of tiers is 3.

2. Determine the width of each tier. In our example, each subsequent tier is 4 cm wider than the previous one, and then:

75 cm - (4 cm + 2 x 4 cm) = 63 cm

63 cm / 3 tiers = 21 cm (width of 1 tier)

21 cm + 4 = 25 cm (width 2 tiers)

25 cm + 4 = 29 cm (3 tiers wide)

3. Determine the length of each tier.

The upper tier of the skirt is increased by 5-7 cm. The waist and sides are straightened.

The second tier is increased by a factor equal to 1.7-2.

For example, the length along the lower cut of the first tier is 26 cm + 5-7 cm = 31 cm, then the length of the 2nd tier will be: 31 cm x 2 = 62 cm.

When choosing a coefficient, one should focus on the thickness of the material:

• for thin fabrics, it is better to take the maximum increase;
• for very thin fabrics (chiffon) the specified increase may not be enough, then it can be increased.

When uncertain, it is better to pre-assemble on a tissue sample.

The length of the 3rd tier is equal to the length of the 2nd tier increased by 1.4-1.7, and then: 62 cm x 1.7 = 105 cm.

When cutting the tiers of the skirt, do not forget to give allowances for cuts of 1 cm.

Extra wide skirt with ruffles

The skirt is assembled from straight fabrics of material and since it is wide enough, we will talk about their length and width.

1. Take the length of the skirt 96 cm, the number of tiers is 4.

2. By analogy with the previous option, we calculate the width of each tier. In our example, each subsequent tier is 2 cm wider than the previous one, and then:

96 cm - (2 cm + 2 x 2 cm + 3 x 2 cm) = 84 cm

84 cm / 4 tiers = 21 cm (width of 1 tier)

21 cm + 2 = 23 cm (width 2 tiers)

23 cm + 2 = 25 cm (3 tiers wide)

25 cm + 2 = 27 cm (4 tiers wide)

3. Determine the length of each tier:

1 tier = Waist x 1.4-1.7

2 tier = Length 1 tier x 1.7-2

3 tier = Length 2 tiers x 1.4-1.7

4 tier = Length 3 tiers x 1.4-1.7

Tiered skirt

Separate tiers of the skirt may not be sewn to each other, but connected to the base of the skirt (the base is cut out in the form of a straight or conical skirt). The tiers are connected to the base of the skirt so that the free edge of the tier covers the seam of the connection of the previous tier.

1. Circle the pattern of the front and back panels of the skirt of the base base and mark the locations of the tiers, thereby determining their width. Label the tiers A, B, and C.

2. Mark the lines connecting the base of the skirt with the tiers 4 cm above the bottom cuts of tiers A and B (indicated by dotted lines).

3. Determine the length of each tier by analogy with the previous option.

The base of the skirt can be cut along the lines of connection with the tiers, in which case the tiers are sewn into the seams of the connection of the parts of the base of the skirt.

Plain tiered skirt

How to sew a tiered skirt with your own hands? Very simple! Choose a standard model with an elastic band, determine the overall silhouette of the product, buy a piece of fabric - and the masterpiece is ready to read.

Advice: Ruched skirts create a lot of volume, especially in taffeta or other stiff fabrics. So if you are not the owner of 90-60-90, we recommend making a minimum of folds and tiers. If you have narrow hips and at the same time an “impressive” chest, try adjusting the proportions by placing the first cutting line 6-12 cm below the waist. Do you have wide hips? Then move the horizontal seams from the protruding parts of the thighs.

To calculate the length of each tier (keep in mind that the yoke is not a tier), you must first find out the length of the strip of fabric for each tier by multiplying the length of the product by the assembly factor: from 1.1 to 3, depending on the desired thickness of the tiers.

Another frequently asked question for beginner seamstresses: how to sew a hippie skirt so that it creates the desired silhouette at the bottom of the product. Again, you need to multiply, but to simplify the task, we recommend using the table below, which shows the required assembly factor for the desired product width. Have you noticed: the more tiers, the lower the coefficient?

We make final calculations, and get to work or ... We sew a three-tiered skirt with a fabric width of 145-150 cm:

1. We make a yoke from two parts (including the belt), measuring 50 * 21 cm (width to height).
2. For the first tier, you will need a strip of fabric 140 * 20 cm.
3. We take two strips of fabric 137 * 30 cm for the lower tier. For the second tier - two parts, sizes 140 * 26 cm and 56 * 26 cm. Important! Remember to leave 1-1.5 cm seam allowances on all sides.
4. We collect a skirt for a yoke from the lower tiers to the upper ones.
5. We grind each tier into a ring, having previously outlined the middle. For greater aesthetics, we lay two parallel lines and immediately pull them together with two threads.
6. We decorate the tiers with ruffles, braid, flounces.
7. Super fashionable skirt is ready!

Advice: It is not necessary to make a skirt to the floor. Short tiered skirts no less popular and beautiful. In addition, to create such (and any other fashionable masterpiece) you do not need an exclusive fabric from the store. Save money by using your unwanted, old clothes!

Layered American (flared skirt)

The classic American woman consists of three tiers, the lower of which is complemented by a lush ruffle. At the same time, the skirt itself can consist of two, three, or even more such “three-layers”.

For docking tiered skirts, as a rule, beautiful braid is used in the color of the fabric. And the fabric itself can be both monophonic and multi-colored. It all depends on your desires and preferences.

American skirt sewing pattern.

Is it possible to sew clothes without patterns? Certainly!
There are some cuts for simple and very interesting clothes that any beginner seamstress can easily master. In such a cut, there is no construction of an individual pattern, and you can cut it directly on the fabric.

In this issue I will tell you about one of these products - a tiered skirt. Sometimes it is also called a gypsy skirt (although it is rather her relative).

We will make the skirt with an elastic band, which is especially convenient for those whose figure volumes can change rapidly in one direction or another (especially since holidays and all inclusive :-)) are coming soon.
And also it is convenient for those who still do not know how to beautifully handle zippers. And in general, the skirt with an elastic band is very comfortable.
And how the kids love them! The length of this skirt can be any, the number of tiers too.
It is better to choose a fabric that is not very dense, without volume. Dress and blouse fabrics of their cotton, silk, chiffon, thin crepe are very well suited. Bulky, dense fabrics are not suitable for this skirt, because. they begin to stick out strongly and you get the image of a nesting doll.

So, if we consider the details that make up this skirt, they look like rectangles, or rather stripes. Calculating the length and width of the strips is easy.

First, decide how long your skirt will be and how many tiers you want to see in it.
If you want a long version of the skirt in tiers, for example 90 cm and the number of tiers is 6, then 90: 6 = 15 cm will be the width of each tier. Don't forget to allow for seam allowances to join the pieces.

On them you will need to add 1-1.5 cm on each side, i.e. 15 + 2 = 17 cm will be the width of the band. For the upper tier, you will also need an increase for a drawstring into which an elastic band is threaded.

It is better to use a wide elastic band, it looks better. So add the width of the elastic band (3-4 cm) to the upper tier.

The length of the strip is even easier to calculate. For the uppermost (first) tier, take the Girth of the Hips (OH) with an increase in freedom of 2-4 cm. If your OB \u003d 100 cm, then the length of the strip for the upper tier should be 104 cm. For the second length of the upper tier, multiply by 1.5 . Those. second tier 104 * 1.5 = 156 cm. For the third tier, we also multiply the length of the second by 1.5. 156 * 1.5 = 234 cm. Etc. across all levels... If you need a smaller volume of the skirt, then when determining the length of the stripes, multiply by 1.4.

So, we determined the length of the strips. Sometimes the length of the strip for the lower tier reaches several meters. In our example, the length of the lower 6th tier will be almost 12 meters! Indeed, a gypsy skirt! I repeat once again that if you have not planned such a volume, then simply reduce the multiplication factor. But this volume looks simply luxurious!

Further, it is not difficult to calculate the consumption of fabric. Add up the lengths of all the stripes (if you are sewing from the same type of fabric) and find out what length is needed for all of them. The width of the fabric is 140-150 cm. This means that we will divide the resulting value by 150 cm. So we will get the number of stripes for layout on the fabric. Then multiply this value by the width of the strip with seam allowances (17cm) and find out how much fabric we need for the skirt!

Next, we perform cutting, measure the strips of the desired length for each tier and begin to sew. The top cut of each strip must be gathered to the length of the previous tier. Then we sew the strips one by one, tier by tier. In the upper (first) tier, we will make a drawstring for an elastic band. Elastic band length \u003d Waist girth - 10%.

We insert the elastic into the drawstring with a pin, process the bottom of the skirt and here it is - a beauty! We put on and go "walk"!

If the fabric you chose for the skirt is transparent, the skirt needs to be lined. How to sew a skirt in tiers on a lining, watch a detailed video. You'll like it!

Greetings to all lovers of sewing! I am sure that you all know perfectly well what a tiered skirt is. I think this is a must have for almost every woman. Today I will tell you How Can sew a tiered skirt with your own hands. Since such a skirt appeared in my wardrobe, I wear it with great pleasure at any opportunity. Of course, you can have several skirts of this model, for example, in different colors. But the fact that it is incredibly convenient and practical, do not even doubt it. You can go to the beach in it when you are relaxing on the coast. In the evening, it is perfect for a walk and nice gatherings in a summer restaurant. The tiered skirt looks very feminine. It does not hinder movement at all, it is very light and airy, besides, floor-length skirts always add height to us.

Let me tell you a story that happened to me. One summer, during my vacation on the coast, I came across a small market where Moldovans traded. And you know very well that Moldovan women wear long skirts (and not just one at the same time). And when I wandered between the rows and stopped near one pavilion, a Moldovan woman said that she really liked my skirt. I did not expect this at all, and instead of talking about her product, we talked about skirts))). This once again confirms that women can always find a reason to communicate. I will not hide that I was very pleased.

Therefore, I decided to tell you about how you yourself can sew such a wonderful skirt for yourself next summer, which will be a lifesaver for you in almost any situation.

For a tiered skirt, the choice of fabric is very important. I sewed a skirt from crinkled chiffon. Let me tell you about the benefits of this choice.

Firstly: this chiffon is by no means can't be ironed!!! Otherwise, it will not return to its previous state. This saves me from worries about ironing, which is very convenient, for example, on a long journey. Your skirt will always look perfect))).

Secondly: the tightness of chiffon is directed vertically, so the skirt does not make you fat at all, but on the contrary, it will make you slimmer. And thirdly: the palette of colors that is present in this chiffon allows me to wear a skirt with a large number of T-shirts, blouses and T-shirts from my wardrobe.

MATERIALS FOR WORK

Crinkled chiffon 150 cm wide and 207 cm long

Threads of the right color

Thin elastic band that can be wound on a bobbin

By the way, elastic bands also come in different colors, choose the color that suits you best. Fabric consumption is calculated for the hips no more than 100 cm.

The skirt will consist of four tiers. We need to cut the chiffon into 7 parts along the weft (perpendicular to the equity line). Six pieces will be 27 cm long and one piece will be 18 cm. The shortest part (18 cm) is the top part of the skirt. We make four blanks. We grind the first part 18 cm by 150 cm along the edge (first tier). We also grind the second part 27 cm by 150 cm along the edge (second tier). The third part will consist of two parts measuring 27 cm by 150 cm, which must be stitched together (third tier). And the fourth part consists of three parts measuring 27 cm by 150 cm, we also grind them together in height (fourth tier).

So we have 4 parts. Dimensions of each tier in a circle:

• the first tier - 18 cm by 150 cm
• second tier - 27 cm by 150 cm
• third tier - 27 cm by 300 cm
• fourth tier - 27 cm by 600 cm

All seams can be sewn immediately with an overlock. The net length will turn out a little less, since about a centimeter will go into the seams. Then it is necessary to process each tier in a circle on an overlock, the width of which you can choose yourself, making it medium or small.

After that, you need to finally prepare the upper tier. You wind a thin elastic band on the bobbin, and put a regular thread on top of the machine. The main thing is to choose the right tension of the elastic band and thread, so that the line is pulled together evenly due to the elastic band below. Start stitching at a distance of 1 - 1.5 cm from one edge, processed with an overlock. Start the line from the stitching seam of the tier, leaving tails, which then will need to be tied into knots so that the elastic does not bloom. Leave small ponytails in knots, do not cut under the spine. Further, along the entire height of the tier, such lines should be made at a distance of 1 cm from each other. When 2.5 cm remains to the bottom of the first tier, you can stop.

Now we have all the parts ready and we can safely assemble them together. There are several options for stitching pieces in tiered skirts. This one I decided to do with the imposition of tiers on top of each other. At the same time, a small frill is formed on top of each tier. I have it about 1 cm. You can make it a little more, according to your desire.

Now we make a kind of "matryoshka", putting each upper tier into the lower one. We make an overlay of about 2 - 3 x cm. Here's how it looks in the light. That is, we adjust each lower tier to the upper one.

Do not be afraid that the lowest tier we have turned out to be 6 m. Due to the fact that the chiffon is wrinkled and very thin, this is not felt at all. I took the third and fourth tiers twice as long as the previous ones. Of course, you can make the length of the third and fourth tiers smaller, while you save a little on fabric. If your chiffon is very transparent and the skirt is translucent, then you will also have to make a petticoat, which is sewn into the seam between the first and second tiers. It can be made long, but in order not to make the skirt heavier, I think this should not be done. The upper tier, due to landing on an elastic band, should not glow strongly.

OK it's all over Now! Our skirt is ready, congratulations on the new thing))). A tiered skirt has never gone out of fashion for many seasons, so I'm sure that it will take its rightful place in your wardrobe.

For those who love feminine and loose clothing in the style of , , , this skirt is perfect. And if you are interested in learning about the history of the skirt, you can get acquainted with it.

Every year new collections are created, which are distinguished by a variety of styles, design solutions and color compositions.

At the peak of popularity for many years, there has been a multi-tiered skirt. This is a unique creation, created in the 16th century, which still remains a favorite women's outfit.

Many centuries ago, luxurious tiered skirts were available to the Spanish nobility. Women wore voluminous models filled with horsehair to add pomp. The hair or "crinoline" skirt became a favorite garment in Europe and was available to a select few. Later, heavy products were replaced by more elegant skirts, the shape of which was successfully supported by a whalebone. In the process of evolution, the length and number of tiers changed, and magnificent examples have come down to us that add femininity and attractiveness to the silhouette.

Models and styles. Who are suitable?

What does a layered skirt look like? There are many models with a different number of layers, decorated with lace, stitching or embroidery. The more tiers, the smaller their width. If the parameters are correctly selected and the shades of the stripes are combined, then such a product will look chic. The special charm of the skirt is created by fitting the hips and soft expansion to the bottom. Striking multi-color tiered long skirts with interlaced lace add height and grace to the silhouette. the maxi skirt is just a godsend. It is important to follow a few rules to create a harmonious image:

• The yoke should not end at the widest point of the hips.

• Avoid monotony and static.

• Skirts with the optimal number of layers should be used.

• Use products from transparent, airy fabrics.

• Combine layers with stitching or lace.

The width of the tiers should not be large, then the skirt will fit perfectly on the figure. If the yoke is raised above the problem area, then visually the hips will appear thinner, and the silhouette will stretch. The advantage of long products is the visual correction of the figure. Moreover, the samples are able to slim and give elegance to the silhouette of women with voluminous hips and full legs, as well as add femininity and smooth lines to thin girls. It is no coincidence that long tiered skirts occupy a worthy place in the women's wardrobe. These are comfortable, practical and versatile products that can be worn for a walk, party, beach or movie. Each model is unique and allows you to create original fashionable bows.

All tiered skirts differ in color, length and style. For work, business meetings, presentations, midi length skirts are more appropriate. Products just above the knee are comfortable, elegant and very beautiful. On the one hand, the length obliges to be strict and restrained, on the other hand, the style adds playfulness and lightness. It is this image that is desirable to create at important meetings and negotiations in order to inspire the trust of partners. Depending on the material chosen, the skirts change their purpose. Summer airy models from light fabrics are flirtatious, while winter samples from denim or knitwear look strict and restrained.

Mini-skirts of several tiers look especially bright and catchy. These avant-garde, exotic clothes will emphasize female beauty and individuality. If you want to demonstrate slender legs, a thin waist, then put on a multi-layered short skirt. In the photo you can see hundreds of samples with any number of tiers, made from different materials. Each product performs a specific function - it adds splendor to the hips or corrects the figure, demonstrates slender legs or smooth lines of the hips, and also brings a special zest and charm to the female image.

Materials for sewing tiered skirts

Owners of a magnificent complexion will suit products made of silk, chiffon, but samples of cotton, satin or denim will add splendor to the figure. Multi-tiered ones look very nice. These are stylish elegant things, appropriate for holidays and special occasions. A combination of fabrics similar in texture is acceptable. For example, denim is combined with cotton or linen. Chiffon is combined with organza. Satin is suitable for silk fabric, and cotton tiers are in harmony with stitching or openwork knitting.

Knitted skirts with patterned fragments look interesting. Each sample is attractive in its own way and allows you to emphasize the female individuality.

What to wear with tiered skirts?

Creating fashionable modern bows is very simple, using tiered skirts, sophisticated clothing items and stylish accessories.
