hi guys
today I talked about the simple tips you need to add to your dress or top to give it a good fitting shape.
The simple tip I'm talking about Is a princess dart bustier cut.
The required measurements
Half length- 16
Bust- 36
Under bust length- 16
( the under bust length is measurement from shoulder to the under bust)
Nipple-nipple- 8
shoulder-nipple- 10
shoulder- 7
Armhole- 9
Your measurements should be according to the size of your customer.
the fabric is folded into two following the bust measurements plus the seam allowance which is ( 5 inches).
the seam allowance is made 5 inches because we are making a bustier princess dart which will require cutting out some part of your fabric in the centre.
Add an inch to your half length measurement then mark it out on your fabric.
Draft out your shoulder and armhole with chalk.
If you should look at the picture below carefully you would see, I made the shoulder slant that's to make our dress or top fitting because the human shoulder is not straight.
After then draw out your shoulder-nipple, shoulder to under bust and nipple-nipple measurements.
Divide your armhole into two and remove 1 inch, I made use of 4 here, mark it out and join to the nipple- nipple measurements which has been marked straight down to the waist region. A normal princess dart is formed but that's not where we are heading to.
mark an inch backward from the nipple-nipple measurement and mark half inch below and above the divided armhole, it could be made more than that depends on how busty your customer is, it increases with increase in bust measurement, I made use of an inch and half respectively.
Join the 1 inch drawn backward and the half inch made under the divided armhole together at the bust point which is the nipple measurement from the shoulder to nipple. The half inch made above the divided armhole is joined to the normal nipple-nipple measurement which is four and half.
trace the pattern made with chalk, cut it out with your sciccors and join them together. You have a princess dart bustier cut which give your dress or top a perfect fitting shape .
