How To Cut And Sew A Dress / Skirt With Lace Illusion Cut

Hello, everyone welcome back to my channel, I'm so glad to have you back again so today I'll be showing you how to cut and sew the illusion print. You can actually have this on a long dress, ish, um, a short dress or even a skit. So I'll be showing you how to do this I'll show you how to cut the skirt pad and how to attach the illusion print which you can use. You can do with any particular lace fabric. So, let's start um by measuring by taking all the measurements. Now the net, the first thing we need to do is to take the full measurement. This is actually a dress and since I already cut the upper part so um, this is, like the sketch part, the lower part, like the skirt part. So you can actually call this a skirt if you want - and you can see my tape rule does not start from zero because I cut out the upper part already. So I just um took subtracted what I already cut out for the upper Parts out. So that's what I'm showing you now so I'll just start from the waist. So the first thing I need to do after taking the full length measurement is to locate the hip and to locate the hip you. I have a constant measurement. I use to locate hip for a high waist kit, so this is like a high waist kit and to locate the hip. I use seven inch downward from the waist, so seven inch downwards is where the hip would be so I'll, be marking out that seven inch points I'll, just locate the seven inch points and when I'm done locating the seven inch point. The next thing I need to do is to get the half length to get the half length. I usually subtract one inch from my knee point, so my waist to my knee Point: minus one inch. That'S how I'll get the half length this is actually to just give it a nice shape. So it does not just look too big or just without a shape. So this will give it a nice shape and you'll be able to work with this as well when you're shaping it out. So the next thing we need to do is to take our round measurement so we'll take the waist measurement divide by four. The waist is 28 divided by four: that's seven inch and I'll be adding one and a half inch for similar ones and also one inch for that. So one inch for that allowance and one and a half inch for seam allowance. So on the hip, there will be no, that and I'll be dividing the hip by four and then I'll. Just add one and a half inch for seam allowance as well then to get the nice shape I was talking about, would go down to the half length which we measured earlier. So whatever I get for the hip. Remember I divided my hip by four and I added seam allowance. The hip is 40 divided by 14 plus seam allowance, that's um, 41 and a half, so that's um 11 and a half when you divided by four plus seam allowance. So I subtracted two inch. So eleven and a half minus two inch gave me nine inches. So that's what I marked at that half length. So that's that will give me a nice shape as well. So it all depends on you. If you want it to really really tight, you can make it two inch. You can subtracting, but I just subtract one and a half, so that's 10 inch so and then for the lower part. I'Ll just extend that 10 inch downward I'll just extend the 10 inch downward. That'S what I'll do so I'll use my 10 inch at the lower part. This will help me work freely as well, and since it's going to have a slit at the back to help me work freely and to also have a nice shape, so that's what I'm just doing now, just um mark it down just extend the half explains what I got for the half length downwards and when I'm done doing this, all I need to do now is to cut out the back. So I'll, just cut out the excess. Let me shaping it out, cut out the excess and then I would actually cut out the back panel of this particular skirt, so um to cut out the back panel is actually very, very, very easy. Very easy. Remember I used to say that when you cut out the front, your work is 90 done, especially when the back and the front are almost the same. So the first thing I need to do for the back is to measure out the zip allowance, because um the only difference between the back and the front is the zip allowance. So I'll mark out the zip allowance. You can use one inch one and a half or two inch if you like. I actually used one inch so I'll just fold. I just folded it inside folded, the zip allowance and then I transferred the front panel to the pattern. And then I just cut out exactly what I have at the front. Remember I folded in the zip allowance already. So, let's get to the real real business now, so I'm just opening the zipper ones I'll just open it up, because I'll be needing just one side of this part, and this is the front I already attached the lining and you can see the lace is already On top, though I have not sewn it, I just placed the lace on top and to determine where exactly the lace will start from. I actually may left out some part. As you can see, this actually does not really matter. If you like, you can start from the tip, it doesn't really matter. I'M talking about the seam allowance. I just added half inch to the list and that's why it looks as if there's an extra inch at that side, but just because I didn't have it and to look at where the lace is going to start from. I measured 11 inches, so 11 inch downward from the waist is where the lace is starting from, and I just extended it downwards. So the lace is from 11 inch to the tip of the skirt, and the width of the upper part is actually eight and a half inch and the width of the lower part is six and a half inches. You can see it's not straight, so the width of the upper part is eight and a half and the width of the lower part is six inches or six and a half. It all depends on you. So I did that on both the one side of the front and then the other side of the back so opposite ends Place opposite ends. If you do it on the same side, it's going to actually turn out to be wrong. So it's opposite side, as you can see, it's opposite side when you turn it over you'll see it fall on the opposite side. So please make sure it's opposite side and I already cut out the Strip. This is actually 90 inches long. The strip is 90 inches. Long and I actually, the width is just four inches and I folded in you can make it three inches just sew in and press it. So I already um, I turned it out and I already took it to the pressing iron and I pressed it as well. So when I'm done joining the part, I already joined the list to it. As you can see, I already joined the list to it. So all I need to do now is to join the back and the front and when I'm done I'll actually sew this strip on top I'll sew it over. So I'll just divide the Strip by into two not physically I'll, just Mark the center point and then sew it over from front to back or from back to front. It all depends so I'll, just sew it over the tip of the lace. So that's what I'll do I'll just sew it around and when I'm, when I've done that I'll just sew the dots as you can see. I already made it that and then join the zip and everything. And then we are done. It'S actually very easy and came out really really really really really beautiful. I hope this was actually very easy to make. This is actually a full dress. I showed how to make the um sleeve in my previous tutorial. So if you want me to explain any other thing, please let me know if you want the upper part. The upper part is just basic and that's why I did not show the full dress and I don't want it to be too long. I don't want the video to be too long, so please, let me know if you liked it and please don't forget, to give it a thumbs up and please subscribe. If you are new here and good news, guys, I'm going to be starting a series next week. Next week, Friday, to be precise in the series I'll be showing how to make a complete suit, so please stay tuned.
