In recent seasons, a skirt with a basque has taken a leading place on the catwalks of the world. She was loved not only by designers, but also by ordinary girls. Dress, blouse, skirt and even trousers with basque - the choice of modern fashionable women.

The popular trend today originated in Spain and was an element of the Basque costume - from here it takes its name. French men also decorated their clothes in Baska in the 17th century. Spanish fashion designer Cristobal Balenciaga turned to the history of fashion and began to use this element in his sketches. In the postwar years, Christian Dior creates an incredibly feminine image by combining a fluffy skirt with a fitted jacket with a basque.

This year, the Basque adorns the collections of absolutely all women's clothing stores. Designers decorate it in the form of lush bows or miniature wings, light waves or a strict geometric line. It is easy to replenish your wardrobe with a fashionable and relevant thing at no significant cost - you can sew a skirt with a Basque yourself. And to be an experienced needlewoman for this is not necessary.

Design idea

The incarnation begins with an idea. Therefore, before you start sewing, you need to create an image of a future thing. For this it is worth answering simple questions:

• when to wear?
• where to wear?
• how often to wear?
• what to combine?

Answers will help determine what the product will be. For example, if you want to wear a skirt with a basque in the summer, you will need to purchase thin summer material in a fabric store. The place where you want to wear a thing, as well as the desired frequency of socks will determine the color, length, presence or absence of decoration. The question "with what to combine?" should be decisive, because the key to a good wardrobe is the availability of sets. If there is a favorite blouse of a pleasant color in the closet - the material for the future skirt with basque should be chosen either in tune or in a contrasting shade.

Pattern skirt with basky

So, the material purchased, thread and needles - in stock. Creating any thing starts with a pattern. In order to draw it, Only 3 measurements will be needed: waist half-grip, hips half-grip and product length.By removing these indicators, you can get to work. To facilitate the drawing task, you can use millimeter tailor's paper.

• The pattern of the skirt with the basque (Fig. 1) is constructed on the principle of a simple skirt, except that the pattern of the Basque is additionally constructed. First, draw a rectangle ABCD.
• What is the length of the sides AB and DC equal to the half-length of the hips +1 cm - this will be the width.
• The length of the sides AD and BC determines the desired length of the product.
• From point A to the right, set aside half of the segment AB, set the point T. From it, lower the perpendicular down to the intersection with the DC line.
• To build a line of hips, from points A, T and B we lay down 20 cm. The resulting points L, L1, L2 are joined by a dotted line.
• To calculate the depth of the dips on the waistline, it is necessary to subtract the amount of waist half-length +1 cm from the half-hip hips size. We divide the resulting number in half - this will be the side ditch size, front = 3 cm. numbers subtract the sum of the side and front darts.
• When constructing a drawing from point T to the right and to the left, we set aside half of the value of the side tuck. We connect them with a dotted line with the line L1, divide their side lines in half and measure 0.5 cm towards the TL1 line. From points 1 we measure 1 cm up - this is point 1.
• To build the front tuck, it is necessary to set aside 5 cm from the side line to the left and draw a perpendicular line down. Then from the point of intersection of the perpendicular with the waist line in both directions to postpone half the depth of the front tuck - 1.5 cm - a point of 1.5. The lower end of the tuck should be moved 0.5 cm toward the side seam. The length of the tuck is 9-10 cm.
• When building the rear tuck, the AT line is divided in half and from the dividing point to the right and left we set aside half of the obtained value (remainder of the difference), these are points 2. The length of the rear tuck is 12-13 cm.
• To build the waist line of the back half of the skirt with the basky, connect points 1 and 2.
• To build the waist line of the front half of the skirt, connect the points 1 and 1.5.

Important!If the difference between the half-width of the hips with the increase and the half-waist of the waist with the increase is more than 14 cm, on the back half of the skirt with the basques it is necessary to make 2 darts. The first is at a distance of 5-7 cm from the middle of the back, 3-4 cm wide and 13-15 cm long. The remaining distance is divided in half - there will be a second tuck. Its width is 2-3 cm, length is 12-13 cm.

• The Basque pattern is based on the example of Figure 2. The radius of the pattern is 1/6 of the waist circumference -1 cm.
• The semicircle is constructed as shown in the figure.
• Then we postpone the length of the Basques down and draw the second semicircle.
