Meanwhile after cutting the only appear at the back down which was much perfect cus it was not obvious at all.

Then I proceed to cutting of the upper part( half length part) I folded the material Fabrice into two .
So firstly I get the shoulder added 0.5inches to it for sleeve allowance rule-out the armhole length which is 8"inches.
