CLOTH REQUIRED - TWICE THE LENGTH + 4 INCH ON UNFOLD

1. A TO B =   FULL LENGTH + 2 INCH

   2. CL =  CHEST LENGTH FROM  'A' ,(THE POINT WHERE THE
          CHEST MEASUREMENT SHOULD MARKED.

           A TO CL=CHEST/4

   3.   WL =  WAIST LENGTH FROM 'A'= DIRECTLY MEASURE IT
          FROM SHOULDER TO DOWN THE WAIST
         USUALLY 13 TO 16 INCH

          4.  A TO N            =   2.50 TO 3 INCH  
          5.  N TO 1             =   3 TO 4 INCH ( BACK NECK)           
          6.  N TO 2             =  5.50 TO 6. 50  ( FRONT NECK)

NOW CUT THE BACK NECK

       

  

carefully cut the frond neck avoiding the back layer. stitch the both necks.fold and stitch the bottom line.after that we have to start stitching the caftan.

stitch above the lines of both sides

 and your dress is ready

u can also add an elastic on the waistline if u wish

DRAFTING OF THE UPPER BODY (BEGINNERS)

THIS IS THE BASIC LINE OF UPPER PART DRAFTING .


 THE  ARMHOLE PART IS THE CUTTING AREA (LEFT SIDE) .OTHER SIDE COMES ON FOLDING

THREE FOURTH ( CAPRI)

 FOLLOW THE PANT TUTORIAL AND MAKE DIFFERENT TYPES OF PANTS ,JUST BY  MAKING  SMALL CHANGES


ON FIGURE ONE LENGTH IS REDUCED AND A SMALL WHITE BIT IS ATTACHED

FOR THIS KIND OF PANT GIVE SOME LOOSE TO THE LEG PART

AFTER CUTTING ATTACH BAND ON THE BOTTOM LINE. IF U WISH,U CAN ADD  ELASTIC ON THE BAND TO GET THE CORRECT SHAPE.ATTACH A BAND ON THE WAIST PART ALSO,  THE STEPS ARE SAME AS THAT OF BOTTOM BAND . 

TUTORIAL FOR A PANT ( VERY VERY EASY)

stitching a pant ,goes more easy if u followed the shorts tutorial.

whenever u sit to draft something new,just go through the old drafting in ur mind. compare the old one and the new one. find the similarities.



divide our body into two parts .1 upper part
                                            .2 lower part

in our last two posts we went through the lower part tutorials and this deals with the same.


cloth needed = double of the length+3 and a half inch

• 1  MEASURING
• 2  CALCULATING
• 3  FOLDING
• 4  DRAFTING
• 5  CUTTING
• 6  STITCHING 

   .1 MEASUREMENTS  needed are

  .1 LENGTH

  .2 WAIST

  .3 ANKLE

  2.CALCULATING

.1 length = length+ 3 and a half (length =from waist to ankle) 

    till the green dots

.2 waist =  waist/4 +1.25 inch

.3 ankle = ankle round+2.25 inch( u can add some more inches if u prefer loose fitting(or add bell                                                     shaped cutting for bell bottoms) . or u can  make the fitting tight                                                    too by adding only 2 inches to the ankle  round .but don forget                                                      to check whether u can wear the pant comfortably through your                                                    legs or not).
