For the Love of Ruffles: My Blue Chambray Dress.

Ruffles continue to be one the season's main trends this summer. Architectural on dresses, romantic on blouses, excentric on coats ... I love all the possible variations of this garment detail and even the first piece that I made for myself many years ago was a lemon yellow skirt with a ruffle. So it is no wonder I fell for this dress in blue chambray  with white ruffles in July issue of BurdaStyle.

Garden-Party Dress

The idea to recreate this set appeared immediately as I saw it in the fresh issue of BurdaStyle for July 2015. The whole collection in breezy light blue colour was just irresistable and it was difficult to decide which of the dresses to begin with. The lovely set in blue batiste with plumetis in the magazine seemed to be an absolute must-have for me, and it was just the matter of finding the fabric. I could see it in white in light emroidered batist, or in any other pastel shade.. It would make a lovely summery outfit for the vacation or garden parties.

Идея воссоздать этот костюм из июльского номера Бурды за 2015 возникла сразу. Вся небесно-голубая серия тогда просто заворожила меня своей легкостью, оставалось только найти ткань и определиться с какой модели из всего понравившегося я начну свою подготовку к лету 2016.

Green Suede Blouse

I had been dreaming to make a piece in suede or leather by myself for a long time. But since it is quite difficult to find several skins of the same color and quality, all of my ideas and projects kept being postponed. Until last winter, when I finally found four beautiful suede skins of excellent quality and of generous size.
By then, my wish list of leather or suede projects was quite extensive, but I decided to try my hand with this tunic with a ruffle from BurdaStyle №1/2014. 





This project was picked by editors and featured on the homepage of the

 fashion and sewing site Burdastyle.com

Suede is such a marvelous material. And it is so versatile. It can be chic and luxurious or on the contrary - very bohemian and casually laid back. And despite its fragility and requirement of special care, suede allows you to cut and sew it in a way that would not be possible with other fabrics. For example, a detail constructed of several patches of fabric. Extra seams and patchwork effect only adds more charm to pieces in suede. Thanks to the generous footage of my suede, I had enough material to cut all the details of my garment in full. Only back detail of the ruffle on my tunic is made of four pieces.

Мне давно хотелось попробовать сшить что-нибудь из кожи или замши. И прошлой зимой мне наконец попалась великолепная замша глубокого цвета зеленого леса. Отличное качество, ровный цвет и наличие сразу нескольких шкурок в отделе кожи отмели все последние сомнения, и я решила попробовать реализовать одну из давно понравившихся моделей из журнала BurdaStyle №1/2014.

Inspired by Gucci

The inspiration for this coat came from an unusual source - the blouses and dresses of spring-summer 2013 collection of Gucci. Airy and romantic ruffles in vivid colors seemed to be everywhere I looked that spring - in my daily copy of New York Times, in the showcases in the streets of Paris, in the magazines that I grab from a newsstand before taking a train...And since the summer with light fabrics and open neck lines was still quite in a distant future, I decided to turn this ruffle-mania into a comfortable spring coat.

Сшить этот жакет меня вдохновила весенняя коллекция Gucci. Яркие цвета и изысканные воланы коллекции весна-лето 2013 просто не выходили из головы, и так как лето было еще очень нескоро, то я решила сшить такой вот жакет на раннюю весну. 


Жакет сшит из мягкого шерстяного джерси-лодена, который как раз в ту весну в изобилии всевозможных оттенков  появился в моем любимом магазине тканей на Монмартре "Tissus de la Reine". как и любой лоден, он не требует обработки срезов, но гораздо мягче и поддатливей в работе и носке. Таким образом, жакет вышел без подклада. Подборта жакета проклеены флизелином, а проймы и горловина укреплены клеевой формбанд антрацитового цвета. Подгибка низа и рукавов выполнена вручную.
