The secret to the success of a hand-sewn blouse lies in the precise choice of fabric and style and the creation of an individual pattern that takes into account all the features of the figure. The latter is especially important if the woman’s proportions are far from standard. Simply adding centimeters in problem areas will clearly not be enough, since completeness is an individual concept. Some people boast luxurious breasts, others have lush buttocks and thighs.
In any case, the finished patterns must be adjusted in strict accordance with your measurements. It is most convenient to remove them with outside help, monitoring the position of the abdomen and posture, remaining in a free, taut position. In addition to standard measurements, you need to pay attention to the height and width of the chest and the length of the front. If your arms are full, not only the length of the sleeve is measured, but also the volume of the upper arm and hand.
The most common problem is a sculpted belly.
Sewn according to a standard pattern on obese women they seem too tight, the front looks shorter than the back.
This problem is solved by smoothly expanding the side borders of the shelves along the waistline and increasing the length of the front depending on the volume of the abdomen from its most prominent point to the bottom of the product.
It is relatively easy to create a blouse pattern for overweight women with broad shoulders and developed breasts. It is enough for them to proportionally increase the size of the pattern above the waist and smoothly narrow the side lines of the back and shelves from the waist to the hips.
It is more difficult to modify the drawings of blouse details for those with large breasts and narrow, feminine shoulders.
Most likely, they will need additional darts from the shoulder line. A swing drapery, which draws attention to the chest without visually increasing its size, will also help solve the problem.
To do this, the front is cut out with a supply of fabric in the neck area in the shape of an arc facing the top. 
Those with full arms should pay attention not only to the recalculation of the sleeve width, but also to the corresponding increase in the depth of the front and back armholes.
The blouse pattern for plus size women is constructed with comfortable raglan sleeves, a front slit and has a flowy cut. This loose and comfortable summer style looks great with trousers and skirts.
Blouse pattern for obese women
The blouse pattern is suitable not only for overweight women, but also for women with a modest clothing size of 48-50. It is best to sew from various types of chiffons, viscose or thin knitwear.
The front section of this pattern is supposed to be fastened with a loop and button or hook. The neckline is edged with binding; to sew it on we will try a new processing method. Short raglan sleeves consist of two parts, which guarantees a more precise shoulder line and fit of the blouse for plus size women.
Seam allowances and cutting blouse details for obese women
The blouse pattern for plus size people is made without seam allowances; we will add them ourselves. To sew on a regular sewing machine, add 1 cm to all cuts except the neckline, the bottom of the sleeves and the blouse. We do not make allowances for the neckline, add 2 cm to the bottoms. But! When cutting from very thin fabrics, it is better to make hem allowances of 3-3.5 cm. If you bought translucent chiffon for this pattern, then add 3.5 cm.
You can buy ready-made trim for edging, which will make it easier to process the neckline of a blouse, but today we will practice making the edging ourselves. It is recommended to cut out the part for the trim after processing the blouse, and last but not least, because for the edging we need to measure the length of the neckline cut. Instead of using a pattern, use the finished blouse to measure.
Before edging the neckline of a blouse for overweight women, be sure to practice doing this operation on unnecessary pieces of fabric.
This edging method is only suitable for very thin fabrics.
The trim for the edging is cut with a length equal to the neck of the blouse plus 8 cm, a width equal to the width of the foot of your sewing machine multiplied by 6 plus 0.2-0.3 cm. Moreover, you will have to determine the width yourself experimentally, because the increase should be made taking into account the thickness of the fabric, and no one sees it except you. But usually this 0.2-0.3 cm is enough for summer fabrics.
The edging is cut on the bias.
Instructions for sewing a blouse for obese women
We sew and iron the facing of the front cut. We place the facing on the front side of the shelf and make a double stitch for a cut 0.4-0.5 cm wide to the notch that was transferred from the pattern.
We iron it, make a cut between the lines, notching at the bottom to the corners of the line. We adjust the allowances to the edge on the shelf. We turn the facing over to the wrong side of the blouse and iron the cut.
We transfer from the blouse pattern to the front of the blouse for full lines of folds, lay them so that they look towards the side seams and secure with an auxiliary machine stitch 0.2-0.3 cm from the neckline cut.
We fold the sleeve parts right sides together and sew down the shoulder seams, aligning the pattern reference marks. We sew the seam and iron it back.
We sew the sleeves with the right sides to the front and back of the blouse, we sew the seams and iron them onto the sleeves.
Iron the bottom of the sleeves and blouse on the wrong side by 1 cm, then again by 1 cm and adjust the allowance for the sleeves and blouse. If you added 3.5 cm to the hem, then iron it a second time by 2.5 cm, baste the hem onto the details of the blouse for plus-size people and adjust it.
For the loop, you can use an elastic cord or other decorative cord purchased at the store. We sew the loop to the neck of a blouse for overweight women before or after edging. Hook or button - after.
We take the binding for the edging and fold it along the entire length, inside out, aligning the cuts, and ironing. We baste the binding to the neckline from the inside of the blouse, tucking the end 1 cm at one side of the front slit so that after stitching and edging it ends up inside the edging.
We sew the binding, remove all temporary hand stitches, and iron the neckline. We take the thinnest hand needle, thread it into a thin, preferably silk, thread and begin basting the binding. To do this, we turn the ironed edge of the binding to the front side, bending it around the stitching seam, from the face we control the width of the visible part of the binding and its overlap with the stitching line. Ideally, the binding should overlap the stitching by 0.1-0.2 cm, but a little more is quite acceptable. We lay a hand stitch not reaching the future finishing stitch of the edging 0.1-0.2 cm from the side of the neck. At the end, we cut off the excess from the binding and fold the remaining allowance into the edging. We lay a finishing stitch along the edging.
