Rose sleeve. Sleeve

Good afternoon! First, I want to apologize for being silent for so long. I really wanted to make a human description with normal construction schemes. But alas, there is too much going on in my life. Last year. And maybe it's even for the better. Perhaps it would be even better if I do not show the construction of the drawing, but tell the "logic" that helped me solve its riddle.

So, a lanvin top with a mysterious one-piece pleated sleeve:

And my incarnation:

As I already wrote, the sleeve is ingeniously simple. But I racked my brains over it for about 3 hours, applying a piece of mock-up fabric to the mannequin this way and that before it dawned on me. I'm not that smart and I don't have much experience. Partly thanks to this sleeve, a simple truth finally dawned on me - any folds, creases and tension in the fabric can indicate both flaws in the fit of the product and its design features. How can this be applied in our case? The fold on the sleeve has a "direction", it seems to point to several points:

A very good hint is also given by the tuck, which is also noticeable in this photo. In the future, we will outline the approximate position of these lines and tucks on the plane of the base drawing. To begin with, we build or model a pattern of a fitted top. Do not forget to equalize the slope of the shoulder seam (otherwise the sleeve will be twisted, like mine), we build a one-piece sleeve of the required volume, we transfer the chest darts into the side seams, we outline the line of the upper cut of the product. We transfer my orange lines to the base (the fold will be bent along them), we outline a tuck under the future fold, cut it, part it and get the following picture:

The parts of the front are circled in yellow, the back is in green (I have only half here), the volume that was added by diluting the details is shaded, the line of the shoulder is signed. For some reason, I decided that the sleeve was cut off on the back, perhaps I wanted to save mock fabric, I don’t remember. The right chest tuck (and the relief) is completely translated into the volume of the pleat, the left one is partially. A tuck (line) that is losing somewhere in the sleeve, and a tuck (line) that goes into top cut top (I have at the starting point of the shoulder), open the more, the more the tuck opens, going inside the fold. Yes, I forgot to note that the outlined lines and the tuck converge in a "star" into one point. It is at the stage of opening the tuck that the volume of the fold is regulated. The more you dilute, the more volume you get. The same with the left chest tuck: the more you transfer into the fold, the more pronounced the direction of the volume towards the left chest becomes; I went too far and therefore my sweetness clearly crosses the entire front of the top.
Here you go. A little confusing, but detailed. Thank you for your patience!

Ways to create the effect of an opened or half-opened bud have been known since time immemorial. The oldest - an assembly of individual molded petals, has survived to this day without any significant changes.

The ribbon version has become noticeably more complicated, because now the flowers are not sewn on separately, they are a continuation of the details of the costume. It takes a lot of time to unravel the transition of the side of a Ralph & Russo jacket, ribbons on Valentino or Alessandra Facchinetti dresses into breathtaking spirals.

Volumetric vertical tape options do not cause difficulties. Here it is important to develop a fastening trajectory and not make a mistake with the size of the assembly.

Why this sleeve is called a rose - no one knows, there are different associations. But in this case, the rose remains a rose, because the name is already firmly established in the search engines.

The edges of the tapes can be processed with curly stitching, be melted or left open. In the era of freedom of expression, crumbling matter has its own philosophy, like cherry blossoms among the Japanese.

Special chic - complex geometric shapes that grow out of nowhere. A minimum of discreet seams and a maximum of matter per square centimeter, for example, as in the Dior collection or on the dress of the Spanish Queen Letizia. The secrets of creating these noble roses will be discussed today.

With a rose in my heart

To get closer to the craftsmanship of the house of Dior, you need to master three skills: classic drapery by tattooing, cutting along the bias and pairing the curved lines of the cut. Sounds intimidating. But Shingo Sato always has a simple solution to the complex attacks of modern fashion. To repel the attacks of Dior and the army of experienced tailors that joined him, the Japanese master conducts a special lesson with his students - “Rose in the Heart”.

Frankly, twisting and styling, which are the basis of this drapery, is an exercise for the lazy. Long constructions are not needed, as in previous lessons - or. So long preparations, painstaking work, complex manipulations - we will leave for another case.

For manufacturing you will need:

finished product - dress, top, blouse;
a cut of matter - no thicker than on the selected clothing;
tape measure;
pencil and paper;
pins;
scissors;
sewing marker or crayon;
sewing machines.

Important! Fabric consumption depends on the intensity of the twisting of the bud. On average, it takes three times the area of the template to drape, plus the fabric to cut the base.

Building a template

First you need to determine the size of the heart. To do this, we mark a triangle on the product, base up, or three points. We measure the distance and transfer it to paper. The heart must fit within the given boundaries.

We cut out the base for drapery according to the template, taking into account seam allowances - 0.5-0.7 cm. The base or base is necessary to fix the center and individual petals - the folds of the drapery so that they do not change their shape over time.

We connect the cut with the center of the base with a pin and try to twist the bud. These preliminary steps will give an idea of the location of the tissue flap, if its sections have a complex shape, it will become clear at what point it should be attached to the cut out heart. If there is an abundance of matter, then bonding can be started immediately with machine work - a line.

Important! The warp thread of the drapery must not match the warp thread of the base piece! The ideal discrepancy is 45 degrees (oblique).

At Shingo Sato, the fastening of parts is proposed along a circle of small radius. There are other ways:

straight lines;
arc;
bartacks in two, three or 4 points;
centered pleat, etc.

Notches

Screw cut, oblique, sinusoids and hyperbolas on the fabric require notches at the peaks of the amplitudes, places of inflections, extended sections - more than 10 cm, and their combination when sewing.

Drapery

The creative part of the exercise begins at the moment of the formation of the rose - twisting. The piece of fabric moves clockwise, the base must remain motionless. Petal by petal, bringing the folds closer or further away from each other, the unique shape of your bud is set.

In separate sections of the transitions, the parts are fastened with pins. A prerequisite is that they must be covered with other layers of matter, because in the future, instead of pins, microscopic hand stitches will be laid. Perform them with threads in color or transparent fishing line. Even if the pattern requires a relatively extended straight or arc fastening, the fastening is done with single stitches, spaced apart with dots, and never using a stitch.

A rose can be voluminous, rising high above the plane of the base, or almost flat, with petals breaking into folds - an option for ladies with luxurious shapes. It all depends on imagination and taste. The pinnacle of craftsmanship is manifested in the natural position of the spirals and the inconspicuousness of the attachment points.

When forming a rose, you should consider:

The closer the folds of the drapery are to each other, the better the shape is kept.
It is better to place the pins when tattooed perpendicular to the crease - this will not distort the design of the bud when laying stitches.
The sewing-in seam of a denser part will always be directed towards a thinner one, therefore, in delicate soft tissues do not weight the edges of the drapery with many folds. This threatens to distort the clarity of the line and unaesthetic thickening in certain sections of the seam.

As soon as the spirals approached the edge of the base, it is worth laying the folds with pins, sweeping the drapery along the edge of the base and cutting off excess matter. Then lay a line along the perimeter of the part by a value slightly less than the stitching seam allowance. The next step is to replace the pins on the drapery with stitches and lightly iron the edges of the part.

Product connection

With textile bells and whistles, beginners always have an element of unpredictability - the detail worked out to a greater extent than planned, there was a slight change in the curvature of the lines, etc. Therefore, it is better for them to cut out a heart on the main product after the drapery is prepared.

Of course, it is necessary to check the finished part with the dimensions of the template. If they diverge, then you will need to make changes either to the part or to the template. It's up to you to decide. So that Hamlet's questions do not come to mind, even at the stage of the formation of the rose, better time from time to time check with the original pattern.

We move on and outline the heart pattern on the product. Set aside seam allowances - 0.5-0.7 cm, from the line to the center. I think that it is not necessary to remind that the width of the seams on the product and on the manufactured part must match?

Important! In knitted and loose fabrics on the front of the dress, glue small non-woven pieces to the corners of the heart.

We apply notches. Now we combine the parts according to the marks, sweep, check that there are no distortions anywhere and grind.

During sewing, we lengthen the notches in the corners of the heart, not reaching 0.2-0.1 cm to the line. After that, we apply more notches or deepen the already existing ones on the sections of the main product so that the seam becomes flat without thickening. We carefully iron the stitching line, let it cool, and only after that we run to try on and admire the work done.

Having tried once, you often want to consolidate the result and perform a similar model, but in a different combination. To implement the idea on our website, it is easy to choose a ready-made one or to make the top or dress become a completely author's product.

Variations on a theme

It is difficult to stop the fantasy that has played out, so I propose to cross the rose with various elements of costume and decor. For example, let's create patch pockets with already mastered drapery. Easy and effective.

To do this, we just need to add one more layer of the base, so that the density of the drapery and suit fabric approaches in thickness and equalizes in wear resistance, and also eliminates the contact of hands with the bartacks of the folds.

The area of the entrance to the pocket on the heart and even the additional base can be duplicated with the finest knitted glue, if we are talking about silk or satin. For taffeta and similar fabrics, reinforcement will be needed only for the pocket entry line.

Pockets with roses are great friends with drapery, when combined, you get a charming option, like on a skirt from Galliano.

The twisting effect is applicable in combination with various technologies. Spiral felting - and you have a great bag. Even a stitch in skillful hands is able to get out in any convenient position.

In fairness, it should be noted that in my story I did not mention another variety of roses, which gives rise to a whole direction - origami.

The research of this royal variety with the support of Shingo Sato is yet to come. In the meantime, we train on the hearts. Happy cutting!

Remember that, despite the close connection of the rose sketch with feelings, love and devotion, these are more temporary impulses of the soul. There is no guarantee that your chosen one and relationship will last for a long time, and the tattoo will remain with you forever. Therefore, consider the decision to get a tattoo thoroughly before going to the salon.

Shoulder

Today, such a pattern on the shoulder is commonly called the Mystical Rose. Many compare the flower with the holy face of the Virgin Mary. If it is a red rose with fallen petals, it is considered a symbol of the crucified Jesus, where the petals will be blood.

Forearm

On the forearm of a man, such a wearable pattern will speak of the stamina of character, his reliability, as a potential family man.

Wrist tattoo

Since in this place there are blood vessels that transmit the rhythm of the heart, especially personal tattoos are stuffed here. First of all, commemorative sketches are appropriate on the wrist.

Tattoos on the palm, on the hand and fingers

An image of this kind on the hand or inside the palm can symbolize the experienced pain, suffering and disappointment associated with love.

Tattoo sleeve with a rose

A sleeve is a large-scale tattoo on the arm, completely covering it. The main message is decorative, but the presence of additional characters and symbols can bring a different understanding of tattoos.

Why do men choose a rose tattoo?

In fact, a man can execute a sketch with a rose not only on his arm, but also on his leg, on the sternum, back, neck and other areas. This flower has long been considered the most ambiguous, loaded with various symbols and meanings. For example:

in India the most blossomed from the rose beautiful woman the world of Lakshmi;
in Ancient Greece Aphrodite came out of the water that flowed down her body and turned into roses;
in Persia love and blood are associated with a red rose;
in ancient Egypt roses were preferred by Cleopatra, showering them with the petals of her lover;
quran says, what White Rose arose from the sweat of the prophet Mohammed, as a symbol of cleansing power;
in Ancient Rome the flower was compared with fearlessness and morality;
in China it is the symbol of the emperor;
in England and a symbol of the heraldry of the royal dynasty;
Christians compare the plant with the Virgin Mary.

For reference! Based on all the historical information presented, we can conclude that such a plant means love, purity, power, fearlessness, honor, purification, innocence.

Before you go to the master, be sure to consider a few important points:

make an author's and unique sketch;
find out its exact designation;
determine the acceptable scale and complexity of the drawing;
choose the style of performance and color scheme;
choose the optimal location on the arm (on the hand, palm, wrist, finger, forearm, shoulder or sleeve).

After that, be sure to consult with the master about all these criteria, find out the duration of the procedure and the approximate cost.

Do you think the rose tattoo is purely feminine?

YesNot

How to choose a tattoo sketch in relation to the place on the arm?

In order for the tattoo to be correctly matched to the place on the arm, follow the simple principle of proportionality:

on the hand, palm, finger or wrist a small and concise sketch with minimal detail will look harmonious;
on the shoulder and forearm you can perform medium or large drawing;
as a sleeve large-scale pictures consisting of several elements and plots are appropriate.

Important! The location of the tattoo and the idea itself depend largely on the individual criteria of the man - appearance and image, age, lifestyle and professional activities.

Styles and colors for a rose tattoo on the arm

The master can fulfill the idea in different styles, in addition, today there are several dozen options. But the most popular are:

realism;

blackwork;

dotwork;

tribal;

old school;

new school;

minimalism.

But with the choice of color you need to be more careful, as it suggests its own hidden meaning:

red- earthly love and passion;
white- innocence, spirituality;
blue- individuality and protest against the rules and norms of society;
pink- soft character, attractiveness;
black- romance and sadness, grief.

Symbols that can be combined with a tattoo with a rose on the arm

With the help of additional symbols, you can not only beat the sketch, but also add a slightly different meaning to it. In fact, small details decide a lot in the question of what a rose on a hand means. For example:

in a triangle- body, soul and mind, containing youth, harmony;

with a knife- passionate relationship, balancing between love and hate;

with brass knuckles or grenade- incontinence, readiness to defend one's interests;

with a skull- a commemorative sketch, as a symbol of the loss of a loved one;

with red heart- all-consuming love, experienced tragedies and disappointments;

with clock- spiritual harmony, youth and beauty are not subject to time;

with anchor- disinterestedness and sacrifice in the name of feelings, honor and fidelity to one's choice;

with an airplane- associated with the type of activity, as well as a symbol of freedom and the flight of the soul;

with a crown- superiority over others, a difficult character combined with strong feelings;

on fire- a passion that literally burns a person from the inside.

Where is the best place to get a tattoo?

You can make a tattoo of any of the proposed formats and styles only in the salon where experienced craftsmen with an impeccable reputation work, professional materials and equipment are used. Another indicator of reliability and safety is compliance with sanitary standards.

The rose is a sketch originating from prisons, where such motifs are popular. For example:

with a dagger- shed blood for treason;
with dagger and crown- looking thief;
with dagger and skull- thief;
bright rose- coming of age in prison;
branch with several flowers- a lot of convictions;
spiked or with a sword- remorse.

In order not to face conflicts and an ambiguous reaction of the environment to a tattoo in life, it is better to abandon such ideas and motives.

Conclusion

A tattoo with such a beautiful and romantic flower really reflects sensuality, passion, purity, devotion. To better understand what drawing means for guys, you should pay attention to the details, additional symbols and characters, colors and style of execution.
