The fair sex try to keep their appearance and wardrobe as close as possible. A real woman is beautiful in everything she wears, but at the same time she becomes even more feminine and attractive when the charms of her figure, as well as some flaws, are favorably beaten or, on the contrary, hidden by beautiful dresses and skirts.
Skirt is one of the most important elements in women's wardrobe. Without it, it is almost impossible to imagine a real woman. Skirts can be long, short, straight or flared. Regardless of the length of the skirt, there is always the opportunity to look charming and attractive. When a lady is admired by others, that is, men and women, this significantly increases self-esteem and gives strength, as well as inspiration.
The world's greatest designers pay enough attention to this thing. No collection is complete without the introduction of new models updated with fashionable touches.
It is clear that the financial situation does not always make it possible to regularly update your wardrobe. That is why women cannot afford to buy a new skirt of their favorite style. In addition, there may be another factor: nosuitable model. Both the first and second options lead to the fact that fashionistas decide to sew a skirt with their own hands.
As practice shows, sewing skirts is the very first thing that beginner needlewomen learn. Before proceeding directly to the sewing process itself, you must first learn how to take measurements correctly. In addition, you need to choose which sketch of the skirt model will be taken as a basis.
Preparation for measurements
Measurements should be taken as carefully and accurately as possible. Much depends on them, namely, how well the finished product fits the figure. In no case should you shoot them on yourself, since you will not be able to get an exact sketch of the skirt. All measurements are taken only when underwear and tights remain on the model's body. All excess clothing should be removed, as it distorts the parameters. It is advisable to wear the shoes that you plan to wear with your future skirt.
The thing is that a lot depends on the type of shoes and the height of the heel - the posture and lines of the figure almost radically change. To take measurements, you need a centimeter of soft structure. It is very important that it be as even as possible. In no case should you take measurements with a centimeter tape, which for some reason is deformed. In the process of taking measurements, you should stand in front of a mirror to see the starting position of your figure. You should not take an uncharacteristic pose, as well as strongly retract the stomach.
Basic symbols
Skirt sketch is formed on the basis of measurements. All measurements takenwrite in some order. All girths are measured and divided in half. Full girth is usually denoted - O, half - C, length - D, height - B, bottom - H, hips - B, waist - T.
Measuring
Waist is measured at natural level. There should be no contractions, as well as allowances. The line of the hips is measured at the most protruding point of the buttocks, as well as the abdomen. In the event that there is excess weight in the abdomen, it is necessary to first wrap this area of \u200b\u200bthe body with a piece of wallpaper or drawing paper. This is done in a flash. The bottom and top ends are fastened together.
Only after that you can start taking measurements in the waist area. You also need to decide on the length of the skirt. This parameter is measured on the front side of the figure. It starts from the waist line and ends where the bottom line of the skirt will approximately be. Similar measurements are taken at the back and sides. Having received all the measurements, you can make a sketch of the skirt.
Semi-sun skirt
This style has been fashionable for a long time. As a rule, those representatives of the fair sex who have rather wide hips and a thin waist give their preference to this style. For sewing such beautiful skirts, you can choose a wide variety of types of fabrics. In addition, it is possible to sew the model you like, since there are a whole lot of them. They can be with a belt, a yoke and even with an elastic band. Half-sun skirts can be attributed to the classics. They can be worn for any occasion. It could becorporate holiday, romantic date and just going to work.

Pencil skirt
Among today's popular styles, one can single out a pencil skirt. We can say that right now this type of skirt is at the very top of popularity. Due to the fact that this model has a fitted, tapered and elongated style, it can be worn at a wide variety of events. Often there is no need to make your image attractive, because the style of the skirt itself gives the silhouette sophistication.
In order to look more extravagant, you can experiment and try some more interesting option. It can be a pencil skirt made of denim or leather. In this case, the length should be slightly below the knee. A pencil skirt requires appropriate footwear. High-heeled shoes go well with this style - this further lengthens the legs and slims the figure.
