The pattern in your order will be available in two printing options:

1. For printing on A4. You need to print the pattern on a regular printer on A4 sheets, then glue the sheets together, cut out the pattern and you can sew!

2. For printing on a large format plotter.The patterns are located on a sheet measuring 60*137 cm.

A photo of a Lacoste dress is presented for a visual demonstration of pattern model No. 443 from the GRASSER design bureau.

We were inspired to create this pattern by photos from the Internet. These photos “inspired” us, because we do not pursue the goal of completely repeating what we saw: on the contrary, our goal is to create a unique product. The product model may differ from the photo from the original source; the exact image of the model is shown in the technical drawing.

Increase in chest 2.5 cm (in total volume 5.0 cm), increase in waist 13.0 cm (in total volume 26.0 cm), increase in hips 3.0 cm (in total volume 6.0 cm), increase to shoulder circumference 7.0 cm.
I don’t understand the increase in hips???
Overall waist 26 cm and hips 6 cm???

Administrator: Hello,
Loose fit increases are not the final volume.
Additions are included by the designer in the design of the pattern so that the product fits comfortably on the human body. The increases depend on what assortment the product belongs to (the increases for a coat are larger than for a T-shirt), as well as on the design of the model itself (in a dress model with a loose silhouette, the increases will be larger than in a tight evening dress, for example).

Allowances are added to the measurements during construction.

For example, for this model - for size 44: the tabulated chest volume is 88, and the increase in the model is indicated as 5 cm, which means the finished product across the chest will have a volume of 93 cm.
An increase of 44 sizes at the waist and hips is also added to the table values.

The dress is very loose, for my size 44 I ordered a pattern of 42. It fit perfectly on the shoulders. I’ve reduced my waist and hips. I’m thinking of making darts on the back because it doesn’t fit my figure and sticks out like a bag. Length was right. Short dress. posted a photo https://vk.com/album-44134525_195064456?rev=1
overall it turned out beautifully. I am pleased.

Administrator: Hello, thanks for the review and for the photo! The pattern is a semi-fitting silhouette, without darts at the back, so it’s difficult to achieve a full fit at the back with this cut.
We are very glad that you are satisfied!

Good afternoon Please check the pattern for A4 sheets, it is impossible to print it so that it can be glued together. I used your patterns before and had no such problems. The square prints 10*10 cm, and when printing sheets, the top and bottom of the sheet disappears. I tried printing on different printers.

Administrator: Elena, good afternoon!
If I understand you correctly, your frames are not printed? The fact is that some printers do not have enough space to “see” these frames; they seem to go beyond the printing area. Typically, for patterns with a test square that comes on a separate sheet, we recommend setting the scale to 95%. But, if the frames do not appear, when printing, you can set the scale to 94% (or 94.5%) - this is the “custom scale” setting. You only need to reduce the percentage a little bit and the frames will fit into the printable area of ​​your printer. With these settings, the square may end up being 9.95x9.95 instead of 10x10. Don’t be alarmed, this won’t greatly affect the correctness of the pattern. But you will have frames and it will be convenient to glue them together.

The 2 polo patterns are similar in appearance but are built to fit different sizes. The maximum polo size is 66. Sewing for both patterns is the same, so the instructions will be the same. The classic version of the material for cutting is knitwear.

Knitwear, although a classic, is not a men’s shirt; for us it is only suitable for patterns in smaller sizes. In a large-size pattern, there is no point in using knitwear; it is constructed loosely for reasons, I think, that are quite clear to everyone. It uses the summer fabrics that you like best: linen, cotton, chiffon.

Polo patterns have slight differences in the design of the collar patterns, and the model for plus-size women also has a pattern for the front slit strap; you can see its shape for a smaller size pattern. It is better to make the collar pattern one piece, without folds, so the part will be more accurate.

To sew a polo, a sewing machine and an overlocker are used, on which you need to put special needles for knitwear (in the case of sewing from it) or for regular fabric.

Cutting polo parts

The polo patterns are made without seam allowances; we will add them ourselves. Add 1 cm to all cuts, 3 cm to the bottom of the sleeves and polo.

For a small size model, we will cut out the front cut strips.

We will duplicate the collars and front trims with thin interlining. We also glue a 1.5 by 1.5 cm piece of glue to the lower point of the cut.

Polo sewing technique

We transfer the dart lines from the pattern to the shelves, stitch, iron, and press the seam allowances. Tighten the slack around the darts.

Fold the back and front of the polo right sides together and sew the shoulder seams. On knitwear, elastic and thin fabrics, place a braid under the stitching. We overcast the seams and press them onto the back. Along the shoulder seams we will place a finishing stitch the width of the sewing machine foot.

There is still a difference in the processing of the front panels of the patterns. In a small polo shirt, the straps are a continuation of the neckline, the collar is connected to them, in a large polo shirt, the collar is sewn exactly into the neckline, the upper sides of the straps remain free.

The easiest way to process the planks is given in the instructions, you can use it.

We'll do the bar a little differently. Iron the inner longitudinal section of the planks inside out. We fold the parts of the strips in half lengthwise (in finished form) facing inwards and grind short sections: for a small polo at the bottom, for a large polo - at the bottom and top. We place the strips on the face of the shelves and stitch them to the front. Press the seams and press the allowances onto the placket. Along the stitching seam of the planks, we place finishing stitches to the edge. We place a triangular allowance for the bottom of the cut on the left strip, the right strip on top, and put a finishing stitch in a square, securing all the layers.

We iron the bottom cut of the inside of the collar inside out and adjust it to the width of the foot. Fold the collar lengthwise, face inward, along the middle line and grind the ends. We trim the corners, cut off the seam allowances, iron them, turn the collar onto the face and iron them. Place the collar on the back using loose cuts and sew it into the neckline, matching the collar control marks and shoulder seams. We sew in the collar, cut the seam at the curves, remove the seam allowance inward, and secure the collar with a finishing stitch to the edge along the inside. At the ends and flap, you can stitch the collar to the width of the sewing machine foot.

We transfer control marks from the pattern to the sleeves and armholes. We sew in the sleeves with a double stitch, aligning the marks, overcast and iron the allowances. Sometimes allowances are adjusted with a finishing stitch on the front and back.

Sew side seams and sleeve seams, overcast and iron on the back.

Iron the bottom of the polo and sleeves 1 cm, then 2 cm and adjust the allowances.

You can change the neckline yourself so that the strips are located exactly above each other and sew loops on them and sew buttons. Or put buttons.

The bottom of the sleeves can be finished with a facing, which is conventionally shown on the small polo sleeve pattern. Essentially it is a closed cut edging.

Chest circumference, cm

Waist circumference, cm

Looking at these three different polo dresses, it's hard to imagine that they were all made from the same pattern!

But this is so! In addition, it is very simple to create and model a pattern for these polo dresses, because the dresses are sewn from cotton knitwear, which softly fits the figure.

And therefore, you won’t even have to make darts!

Before you start modeling the dress, create a pattern for the base of the dress according to your own measurements. Or immediately create a pattern for highly elastic knitwear.

IMPORTANT! Knitwear stretches quite well in the transverse direction, which is why allowances for freedom of fit are not given when constructing the base pattern of a polo dress.

Dress pattern

Dress pattern modeling

On the dress front pattern, close the chest dart by gluing the darts on the sides.

Iron the resulting lump directly onto the paper, straightening the front pattern of the polo dress.

Move the waist dart from the front of the dress to the side (see Polo dress pattern 1).

On the polo dress front pattern, mark the fastener using forward stitches. The finished width of the fastener is 3 cm, the length is about 15 cm.

See below for detailed instructions on how to make the polo clasp.

Cut out the pattern for the back of the dress without changes. (Note: if desired, the waist dart of the back of the dress can also be removed by moving it to the side - see polo dress pattern 1).

Shorten the sleeve for a polo dress to 15 cm - setting it aside from the top point of the edge, draw a horizontal line and cut along the line.

Additionally, create a pattern for a collar for a polo dress.

Draw a rectangle ABCD.
The length of the collar AB=CD is equal to 1/2 the length of the stand.
The collar width is 8cm. The upper collar is strengthened
thermal fabric.

IMPORTANT! Before you start cutting knitwear, read the instructions for working with knitted fabrics.

Seam allowances – 0.5 cm, allowances at the bottom of the sleeves and the bottom of the dress – 3-4 cm.

How to sew a polo fastener

On the front of the dress or blouse, mark the area for the polo clasp. The width of the fastener is determined by the model and can range from 1 to 6 cm. The length of the polo clasp is also determined by the model.

Apply with chalk on the wrong side of the product a marking for the fastener as shown in drawing 1 and using a needle and thread, use stitches to transfer the contours of the fastener to the front side of the dress or blouse.

Using stitches, transfer the middle line of the fastener and the triangle at the bottom of the fastener.

Measure the length and width of the intended polo closure on the dress.

Cut out 2 facings along the grain, the width of the facings should be 2 times the width of the fastener. The length of the facings is equal to the length of the fastener.

For facings, allow 1cm allowances on all sides.

Description of work:

Place the facings along the fastener markings as shown in pattern drawing 2.

Baste the facings along vertical lines and stitch exactly according to the fastener markings. Sew from the wrong side of the product according to the markings.

Cut the fastener along the middle line and not reaching the bottom 1.5 cm - diagonally to the lines. Don't damage the facings!

Place allowances on the facing, fold the facing in half to the width of the fastener according to the markings, fold the allowances on the other side of the facing and baste.

Sew facings along the edges. If desired, you can stitch the facings on the other side.

Place one facing on top of the other, tucking the bottom edge to the wrong side and also turning the triangle to the wrong side of the dress. Iron.

From the wrong side, sew a stitch along the base of the triangle, attaching both facings.

Cut off the triangle and seam allowances at the bottom to 0.5 cm.

Line the bottom cut or zig zig it.

Looking at this chic dress made of cotton jersey with a bright blue floral pattern, it’s hard to believe that it was sewn using a very simple pattern. These are the models that beginners should start with! The material gently hugs the figure, creating a fitted silhouette, and you don’t even need to make darts. Short sleeves and a collar with a polo fastener at the front are very comfortable to wear and easy to sew.

Create a dress pattern once and use it as a base for sewing other products. For example, using this pattern, you can model and sew

IMPORTANT! Use this pattern for sewing dresses and blouses only from knitted fabrics.

To create a pattern, we use standard size 46 measurements:

1. Chest circumference - 92 cm;
2. Waist circumference - 72 cm;
3. Hip circumference - 98 cm;
4. Back length to waist - 42.5 cm;
5. Oblique shoulder height - 44 cm;
6. Front length to waist - 46 cm;
7. Shoulder height oblique front - 46 cm;
8. Armhole depth - 20 cm;
9. Hips height - 20 cm;
10. Neck circumference - 37 cm;
11. Shoulder length - 12 cm;
12. The length of the product from the waist is 60 cm.

Stepping back 10 cm from the top of the sheet, place point A in the left corner. Draw vertical and horizontal lines. Place along a vertical line down from the point:

• AG = 20.5 cm (Armhole depth according to measurement + + 0.5 cm);
• AT = 42.5 cm (back length to waist according to measurement);
• TB = 20 cm (Hip height as measured);
• AN = product length according to measurements.

Draw horizontal lines from points G, T, B, H. From point A, draw a short horizontal line.

Building the back

From point G to the right, mark along the line the segment GG1 = 1/2 of the chest circumference according to the measurement (92 / 2 = 46 cm). Draw a vertical line down through point G1 - points T1, B1, H1 are obtained at the intersection - and arbitrarily upward.

From point G to the right, set aside the width of the back GG2 = 17 cm (to calculate this value, use the formula: GG2 = 1/8 Chest circumference + 5.5 cm (92 / 8 + 5.5 = 17 cm)).

From point G2, lift the perpendicular up - at the intersection you get point A1.

From point G1 to the left, set aside the width of the front G1G3 = 19 cm; to calculate, use the formula: G1G3 = (1/4 Chest circumference - 4 cm (92/4 - 4 = 19 cm)).

Rice. 1. Pattern of the back and front of the dress with a polo clasp

Armhole midline. Divide G2G3 in half - you get point G4 (the middle of the armhole). From point G4, lower a vertical segment down to line HH1.

Back neck. From point A to the right, set aside 7 cm: 1/6 Neck circumference according to measurement + 1 cm = 37 / 6 + 1 ≈ 7 cm (we will use this calculated value when constructing the front neckline). From the resulting point 7 up, set aside 2 cm for all sizes. Draw a line for the back neckline AA2 along the pattern.

Back shoulder. From point T, build an auxiliary arc with a radius equal to the measurement. The height of the shoulder is oblique. Draw the shoulder line А2П=12 cm (Length

shoulder according to measurement) so that point P lies on the auxiliary arc.

Armhole and side line. Divide A1G2 in half (auxiliary point), draw a line for the back armhole along the pattern.

From point T to the right, set aside 1/4 of the waist circumference according to the measurement: 72 / 4 = 18 cm - point T2. From point B to the right, set aside 1/4 of the hip circumference according to the measurement: 98 / 4 = 24.5 cm - point B2. Draw a smooth side line by connecting points G4, T2, B2 and H2 in sequence.

Construction of the front

From point T1 up, set aside a segment T1Ш = 46 cm (measurement Length of front to waist). From point Ш to the left, draw a horizontal segment ШШ1 = Г1Г3, connect points Ш1 and Г3.

Front neck. From point Ш to the left, set aside ШШ2 = 7 cm (1/6 ОШ + 1 cm) and then from point Ш draw an arc with the same radius (R = 7 cm).

Shoulder front. From point T1, build an auxiliary arc with a radius equal to the measure Shoulder height oblique front. Draw a shoulder line Ш2П1 = 12 cm (shoulder length according to measurement) so that point P1 lies on the auxiliary arc.

Armhole and side line. Divide the segment Ш1Г3 in half and set aside 1 cm from the division point to the right. Draw the line of the front armhole along the pattern from point P1 through point 1 to point G4.

Set aside T1T3 = 1/4 Waist circumference according to measurement, B1B3 = H1H3 = 1/4 Hip circumference according to measurement. Draw the side line through points G4-T3-B3-H3.

Along the line of the middle front, mark the length and width of the polo fastener: fastener length - 12-15 cm, width - 1.5 cm (3 cm when finished). Details of the cut of the back and front of the dress are shown in Fig. 2. Cut out the parts with seam allowances of 0.5 cm on all sides, and 4 cm along the bottom of the parts.

Pattern of a stand-up collar for a dress

To design a collar from the product pattern (see Fig. 1), take the measurement Neck length according to the pattern = Back neck length + Front neck length.

Draw a rectangle ABDC with a length equal to the measurement Neck length according to the pattern + 1.5 cm, and a width of 8 cm (AC = 8 cm). From point C, set up CC1 = 2.5 cm (stand width according to measurement) and draw a horizontal line C1D1.

Divide the segments CD and C1D1 in half (the division points are indicated by crosses). From point D, set aside 0.5 cm upwards and to the right. From point D1, set aside 0.5 cm upwards. Draw a stand-up collar with a rounded upper corner, as shown in the drawing.

Pattern of a detachable collar. From point A, set down 4 cm (the width of the collar). From the top point 0.5 of the stand-up collar, set aside 1.5 cm to the left (1/2 the width of the bar). From point B, set aside 1 cm to the left and build the configuration of the take-off collar.

Separately transfer the stand-up collar and the stand-up collar onto tracing paper and cut them out with 1 cm seam allowances. Duplicate the inner part of the stand-up collar and the outer part of the stand-up collar with thermal fabric.

Sleeve pattern for the dress

Measurements required to construct a sleeve:

1. Sleeve length according to measurement - 15 cm;
2. Upper arm circumference - 28 cm.

To model a short sleeve, use the basic sleeve pattern for knitwear, which was published in one of the previous Sewing School lessons:

From point O, set down OH = 15 cm (sleeve length as measured). From point H, draw a segment to the left equal to 1/2 of the arm circumference according to the measurement + 1 cm. Connect points H1 and O2 with a straight line. From point H, set aside 0.5 cm upward and draw the bottom line of the sleeve 0.5-H1 slightly rounded. Cut out 2 sleeve parts with a fold and allowances of 0.5 cm on all sides and 2 cm on the bottom.

The polo dress is a bright representative of women's dresses in casual style.

Everyone knows that fashion is changeable, but it tends to repeat itself. Today, dresses are more relevant than ever. Designers pay special attention to dresses for every day.

It should be practical, comfortable and create a feminine image. You can wear it for a walk, to work, or to a cafe. The polo dress meets all these requirements and is coming back into fashion.

What does a polo dress look like?

The polo dress is a bright representative of women's dresses in casual style. This dress is simple in cut and interesting in silhouette, which is practically not noticeable on the body. The polo is extremely pleasant to the touch and extremely comfortable to wear. Along with dress models: sundress, sweater and T-shirt, it belongs to the category of casual outfits.

Polo dress - a casual outfit

The polo dress is very versatile, it is ideal for walking, shopping, going out with children, visiting a fitness club, celebrating family celebrations, as well as for passive relaxation at home or cleaning the apartment.

As a rule, it resembles a tank dress, which is an elongated sleeveless T-shirt, it is knee-length and has a loose fit that does not restrict movement. This model is simply ideal for sports and outdoor activities.

History of the polo dress

Polo is usually made from wrinkle-resistant knitted fabrics, which allow it to perfectly highlight rounded female shapes. Usually soft cotton fabrics are used. The design of the dress is easily recognizable. Its characteristic elements are a turn-down collar on a stand, an original closure to the middle of the chest: with buttons, zippers, pins or rivets, as well as relatively short sleeves and a patch pocket with flaps on the chest.

These details make the dress very similar to a tennis T-shirt or polo shirt. And this similarity is not accidental, because it owes its name and origin to this lightweight men's sports-style shirt with short sleeves, which was created by British designers at the beginning of the 20th century. It was created for privileged people who decided to entertain themselves by playing polo.

A descendant of the dress, the polo shirt was made from knitted jersey - the first sports material in the history of light industry, from which today, as well as from elastane, cotton, viscose and wool, polo dresses are sewn. Polo models are distinguished by a comfortable cut, pleasant cover and intriguing style. It is not surprising that this model quickly won the sympathy of athletes, and soon their fans. In the USSR, polo appeared only in the 70s and received the funny name “bobochka”.

And the polo dress appeared relatively later, and became the creation of an emancipated society, which allowed a sexy cutout on the chest and open legs. Usually such dresses are called “tennis dresses”, which proves their convenience for sports and outdoor activities.

This is definitely one of the best summer outfits. The classic color of a polo is white, but don’t limit yourself, choose any bright colors. This season, bright red, turquoise, black and blue colors are popular for polo.

What to wear with a polo dress?

• A “tennis” dress goes well with a diamond-patterned sweater thrown over your shoulders, snow-white socks and tennis shoes. This combination creates the image of a funny and innocent girl.
• A wide belt with inserts, which will accentuate the waist, will help add femininity to the dress.
• A narrow metal belt located below the waistline will help highlight your hips.
• The look will be complemented by embroidery on the chest, for example, a familiar crocodile or the emblem of your favorite sports team
• .The polo dress goes well with leggings, hats, sweatshirts, skinny jeans, beads, glasses and belts.

In a modern interpretation, this dress looks elegantly casual and is as comfortable as possible.

Who does a polo dress suit?

A polo dress is not only suitable for slender girls; it can also be used to shape your figure. Women with an “apple” figure type, wearing a polo dress, divert attention from their problem area - the stomach. After all, the dress focuses on the legs and neckline.

Since the polo dress belongs to the modern and popular Casual style in the 21st century with its inherent democracy, therefore the variety of choice of length, decor, color of uniform and accessories is very free.
