you are giving me credit for someone else's work, mine refuse too upload . As for ur question, u just have to use ur measuring tape, I think ur waist is where ur navel is, but u knw ur body better than anyone else. The measurement between the waist and hip depends on how short or longer u want ur blouse to be. For this style I prefer 18" from shoulder down, and my blouse length is 23", but it depends on individual size.





PS: please dearies, I still need help on how to post the pix of my work. Made two skirts, but will some start on my cowl neck blouse.

Efosaval, please answer this question for me. Can someone who is not creative learn fashion designing? I had this argument with someone. i wanna know cos fashion designing goes beyond joining pieces together. When you read interviews, they all talk abt being creative n all that. Your answer will go a long way, thanks!

The answer is yes......... surprised?

Let me explain.the process of learning fashion designing is very basic any one can do it really.but to be a commercial fashion designer one MUST be very creative.there are many extremely good designers out there that if there is nothing special about the way you sew your clients will just move on to the next designer.

ok let's look at it from another angle.its no news that most big names in the fashion industry the CEOs of those fashion houses actually don't seat on the sewing machine to sew the outfits themselves, instead they employ qualified tailors who do the actual job while they direct the process.
Now when that CEO employs a tailor without creativity chai in fact the job will be very difficult for the two of them (na so so talk talk you go dey hear every day oga go dey vex every time )
But they will manage somehow only the process will be slow.
That's why before well established fashion house recruit new staffs they must pass though series of test before they are finally employed.they are given fabrics to create some thing that will woa the boss if it's good they are in. If it's bad well
Some fashion houses will not even take a students that just graduated. While some will not take any one not having at least 5 years work experience from another reputable fashion house.

so where anyone can become a tailor only a creative mind can move to the rank of an amazing designer

Godmother:
Hi Efosa, I need a little help. I dunno if this topic has been treated before the nairaland tsunami cos I started following this thread a little late. My question is, when sewing trousers how many inches do you make the flap( dunno if that's what its called). I mean the distance from the waist to the crotch region. I just made a trouser and I made mine 12 inches but it turned out to be a lil small.

Depends on the measurement of the person. You can get the measurement on the side. From your waist measure down to the part where your bottom ends.thats where your crouch depth is.if I get image of it I will post it.so take the measurement again and let's see how it goes.there is no standard measurement every body has a measurement

My roommate told me about this and I absolutely love her for that because this has been really helpful. I have a sewing machine but I have to wait till I'm home before I start to practice all this but I'm taking notes

This is one of the things that was keeping me busy over the last few weeks. juliet Ibrahim looking fabulous in this lilac number from Valisimo. when we got this job to style her, I first went online to search for all her pictures to see the colours she hasn't been seen on and lucky I settled for lilac coz I wanted her to look warm and sweet.plus my selection of fabric was also inspired by her personality.she deserves fabrics that are of high quality and not common. From the looks of things we nailed it.
