I love silk chiffon dresses and I already made a few
in the past. Working with this noble and fine material is always a special
treat for me. So after completing my two fall-winter projects – long coats in
heavy and rustic wools – I felt it was time for something light and flowy.
После
двух пальто из шерстяных тканей и зимнего периода затишья мне хотелось сшить
что-то легкое... Фасон на новое шифоное платье я присматривала уже давно. И эта
модель показалась мне новой и достаточно интересной.
The model of this dress from BurdaStyle 11/2016 (#122B) was simply irresistible in red. But I had this silk chiffon in silvery grey with a vibrant watercolor print. I loved just gazing at that print and thought that this fabric deserved to be framed. I might reproduce this colorful print on canvas one day but as to this cut fabric, this month it was finally put to good use.
Платье конечно же смотрится сногсшибательно в красном, но этот серебристо-серый шелковый шифон с акварельными брызгами уже давно просился в дело и его яркая палитра всегда доставляла мне удовольствие при одном взгляде на него.
The model of the dress was somewhat new to me: it was the
first time I made raglan shoulder line in a fine material and went for lots of horizontal
pleats on the waist line. But it was fun to try new things and the dress turned
out exactly how I wanted it to be: light and feminine.
Совершенно новым было для меня попробовать рукав реглан в тонкой ткани и
горизонтальную сборку на поясе, но я рада было попробовать на себя и такой
фасон. В целом платье получилось таким, каким я его себе представляла.

As to the technical aspects of making the dress, I
used the biased satin ribbon instead of facing for its neckline. Instead of
zigzag stitching, I finished the hem of the dress with the “baby hem” technique.
I find that the fabric was too thin for the narrow zigzag stitch and broad
zigzag stitch was too loose and did not look nice. And “baby hem” always looks
clean and is ideal for fine fabrics. My dress is 2 cm shorter than the pattern.
For size 38 I used about 2 m of fabric. Also, due to the lightness of fabric, I
wear the dress with the fond de robe
that I made for my Boho Autumn Dress.
Wishing you the new spring season full of color!
And Happy Sewing!
