EFOSAVAL:
Now the division part of my skirt

There is a simple rule here.....the biggest part of the measurement is the most important out of all.let's divide first, I will explain what I mean later.

I only need to divide all that is measured round the body not the length.. They are the waist and hip as well as the total yards am using which forms the circumference area.

Waist 37÷6 =6.1
Hip. 44÷6 =7.3
Circumference 144 ÷6=24.

Now remember what I said about the biggest part being the most important.... Its because out of the biggest measurement you can get the smaller ones

Here the biggest part is the 24. This means each panel will be 24 and I can get my waist 6.1 and my hip 7.3 with seam allowance for these parts out of the 24.

EFOSAVAL:




The bust area is 16 right while the shoulder is 12.........it means u are going to fold that straight 26 into 16 first then out of the 16 u cut out 2 on both sides of the arm whole which gets the measurement back to 12 on the shoulder while u still have 16 on the bust.
The picture below explains it all.

Kickair:

Measurement areas for 6 piece skirt.

Waist
Hip
Half length
Full length


Usually what determines a 6 piece skirt is the circumference area at the down part of the skirt which is always influenced by the amount of fabric you have for the skirt. eg 2 -3 yards or more


My measurement is
Waist 37
Hip 44
Half length 18
Full length 43


Now I have 3 yards for this project that means I
have 36 ×3=108 inches to work with.thats what I will use for my folding.also note that 6 piece skirt would have 7 different pieces coz the center back will be cut into two for the zip.


I think I want to add more fabric
So now I will work with 4 yards instead of 3
Remember its the same process
All you do is multiply the yards by the number u have.

36x4=144

Now as I was explaining b4,in a six piece skirt that would have the zip at the center back the cuts would be seven not six just to accommodate the zip at the center back and at the end the skirt is still called a six piece skirt **----

But a six piece skirt that would have the zip at the side would have just six cuts without extrals

For the front block I need just 3 panel of 24.For the back block I also need just 3 panels but the middle panel at the back will be divided into two for the zip
