Girls who are engaged in rhythmic gymnastics must necessarily have their own form of clothing - a special swimsuit. You may need several costumes for the performance, it all depends on the number of numbers supplied, and this is already an overhead of the budget for the whole family.

It can be sewn at home with a sewing machine, fabric and swimsuit pattern on hand.

How to start creating a swimsuit? The title of the next chapter will be the first cheat sheet for those mothers whose daughters are engaged in such a sport.

How to build a pattern?

The pattern can be obtained in 3 ways:

  • Get ready drawing. Half-chest and half-waist - measurements that will help determine the pattern of the desired size.
  • Drawing can be obtained if you describe the old swimsuit (after turning it inside out). This method of obtaining patterns has its drawbacks: the seams interfere with proper drawing up the scheme.
  • Accurate drawing swimsuit get with the help of self-build patterns.

What sizes should be removed to build a swimsuit template?

Size conventions:

  • O - girth;
  • D - length;
  • W - width;
  • (O) Neck;
  • (O) Breasts;
  • (O) Talia;
  • (O) along the bottom edge of the swimsuit panties (not to be confused with the hips);
  • (O) hands (tailor meter must pass through the top point and armpit area);
  • (O) wrists;
  • (O) enclosures. (Measurement is removed without belt tension).
  • (D) shoulder. Merka ends where the shoulder ends;
  • (D) sleeves. Merka is removed from the point where the shoulder ended;
  • (III) before (measure taken just between the hands);
  • (Iii) the back (the measurement is taken similarly to the front and add 3-4 cm);
  • (Sh) panty front. The line runs about 5-6 cm. Below the girth on the edge of the panties;
  • (Sh) panty rear;
  • (E) front (measured from the high point of the shoulder to the waist);
  • (D) back (measurement is reduced by 1 cm);
  • (D) sides (from the armpit to the waist);
  • (D) panties (the measure can be taken on the usual high-waisted panties (not string));
  • (Ш) of the shoulders (the tape passes through the lower level of one shoulder, the 7th cervical vertebra and the lower level of the second shoulder).

The photo shows how all measurements are taken.

Pattern front and back

  • Put a label on top of the paper. Vertically downwards, build two segments equal to 1.5 cm and 5 cm. Outline the neckline.
  • Horizontally put off the following measure: (Ш) shoulder minus 2 shoulder length and divide by 2. From the resulting mark, lower the perpendicular (2-3 cm) and draw a line (we get the shoulder).
  • From the top point of the shoulder down put the measure number 7 and hold the line.
  • On the resulting line to postpone the following measurements: № 7, 8. Obtained waist lines for the main parts.
  • Waist girth divided by 4. The result is postponed as a segment from the middle of the swimsuit through point 8.
  • From mark 8 upwards put the measure number 9 (side length). From mark 8 down put the measure number 10 down. An example of how the constructions should look like is given in the photo.
  • Next, chest girth, girth along the bottom edge of the panties divided by 4. From the middle of the swimsuit through the points already obtained, postpone the results and draw horizontal lines. These will be chest lines and panty level. Outline the sideline.
  • From the girth line on the bottom edge of the panties down perpendicular 5-6 cm down and draw a horizontal line. From the middle of the swimsuit to the right to postpone: (tentatively the size of the width of the panty front and back divided by 2).
  • Through the bottom label to postpone a segment equal to 2.5 cm. It will be a crotch (patch piece in panties for ease of movement and keeping the body clean). Draw a line of panties on a swimsuit.

Now it is necessary to do an armhole drawing:

  1. (D) divide the shoulders into 2 equal segments and lower the perpendicular equal to 5-6 cm and draw a horizontal line.
  2. Formula: (Ш) before and backs / 2. To postpone the received results as segments. There should be two labels (the difference between them is about 1 cm). Draw two smooth lines.

Drawings of the main parts are ready.

All front constructions fit in the backrest pattern. First, the back contour is cut out. The scheme of the back should be redrawn on the new paper, then cut out the outline of the front of the swimsuit.

Sleeve Pattern

The sleeve drawing includes 2 measurements: a measure (O) of the arm and (D) a gauge of the sleeve. A regular T-shirt will help determine the height of the sleeves.

Pattern is built quite simply. The photo below illustrates all the constructions. The drawing of the sleeve itself is like an inverted trapeze. Pile of sleeves is based on the example of a photo.

Pattern skirt

The skirt for a bathing suit resembles clothes with a half-sun cut:

  1. According to the ready-made pattern of the front and back, take a measure of the half-width of the place where the skirt will be sewn.
  2. On paper, hold the horizontal. Put the perpendicular 2-3 cm down and make a semicircle with compasses (the radius of the skirt is equal to the length of the skirt).

Pattern skirt ready.

Material

There are certain rules and requirements for tailoring suits for rhythmic gymnastics. One of the first requirements relates to the choice of material.

According to the requirements of the judicial commission, the main part of the gymnast's suit should not be made of transparent fabrics. The region of the body to the chest swimsuit necessarily cut out of dense materials.

What fabric to choose as the main material and what to buy to finish the swimsuit?

The basic material should be well stretched and be moisture resistant. Designers professionals recommend looking for a biflex.

Biflex - knitted fabric that meets all requirements. Swimsuits of supplex fit well on the figure. Graceful figures of gymnasts emphasize matte material. The brilliant will give expressiveness and elegance to the suit. Fabric is perfectly combined with other materials.

Guipure is a delicate and beautiful fabric with a pattern. He plays his special role. It is used as a trim on a bathing suit or cut out the sleeves. Costumes with guipure trim are especially chic and romantic.

Velvet - the noble material having soft short pile. From a dense iridescent fabric they sew both the swimsuit itself and combine it with other materials. Velvet appliqués on a bathing suit are a stunning decor on a suit.

How to sew a model for performances?

In any sport there are always a lot of performances and competitions. For such events gymnasts have a suit that is used only for performances. Bathing suits are decorated with brighter and more expensive decorative elements, shiny fabrics are used.

Sew a swimsuit for performances to be in a relaxed home environment. If you allow the footage of an apartment, then when making a suit, mother and daughter are better left alone in the room. This will help to calmly do the fitting and carefully carry out all sewing operations and discuss the decor of the costume.

To sew a dress for performances except for all the above points at the beginning of the article will require more decorative trim (if provided) and sewing accessories. A detailed master class on making a swimsuit will be given below.

Attention should focus only on one point. The application or other finishing on the costume should be carried out first (as long as the swimsuit itself is at a preliminary stage before assembly). This will allow you to make the decor more accurately and accurately.

Master Class

The master class includes all detailed instructions based on the pattern, which can be built from our first chapter:

  • Separately carve out the neck opening main details.
  • The next stage of sewing will be cutting. The fabric folded along the lobe thread. All the patterns pin with pins on the material. The design of the front, back and skirt should lie on the fold of the fabric. Cut out all parts of the swimsuit with seam allowances.
  • Bottom swimsuit tack and sew on the car. Now it’s the turn of the crotch. Gusset is cut out in a single copy. The width of the crotch to be processed with a zigzag stitch, open sections of the crotch length will go to the seam.
  • Gusset attached to the back of the swimsuit. This is a very inconvenient place for laying machine stitch, so it is recommended to tuck the crotch to the swimsuit a little further from the open sections in addition.

Open crotch slices can be processed in 2 ways:

  1. To open the open sections on the seamy side of the swimsuit without hemming and sew zigzag stitching on a seam or process it on the overlock.
  2. The crotch edges should be sewn into the hem and the machine stitch should be laid.
