1. How to take accurate measurements

Accurate body measurements are of vital importance for obtaining best results in dress making. Besides good fitting, correct measurements can also contribute towards saving time in dress making.
Taking body measurements is a responsible task, which should be undertaken with great care. For this purpose, it is important for a fashion designer to have adequate knowledge about correct methods of taking and recording body measurements, equipment required for measurement and other important points to be considered in taking the measurements.

POINTS CONSIDERED WHILE TAKING MEASUREMENTS

a. A good quality measuring tape should be used for taking the body measurements i.e. a long metal end tape as shown below.

b. Person giving the measurements should stand straight, but in a natural pose.

c. While one is taking the measurement, another person is needed (if possible) to write down measurements.

2. how to cut fabric properly

a. ALWAYS iron your fabric flat. This will release the wrinkles and allow the fabric to lay flat as its actual size.

b. Always use a hard flat surface when cutting your fabric, If you want those lines to stay even and flat.

c. Make use of good sharp scissors.

d. Find (or create) one straight edge, And then you can cut everything else from there. So look at your fabric and find the selvage edge.

e. The selvage line is generally always straight. Sometimes you will see it waver just a bit but it pretty much gives you a straight line. So, cut off the line of selvage in a straight line….and you have your straight edge of fabric to work from. Then, you are good to go.

3. how to have a descent sewing.

Sewing is a creative and interesting skill. The knowledge of sewing give a confident feeling when it is applied to dress making. The earlier method of sewing by hand is not applicable for all stages of dress making. Therefore, considerable emphasis is given to sewing machine. There are several machines in the market today, each with its own desirable features and advantages. Sewing machines range from most basic having only simple lock stitch to the electronic machines that use advanced computer technology having various functions for example piping, binding, ruffling, pleating, darning, hemming and even making buttonholes and attaching fasteners. A good sewing machine is required to obtain quality products. One has to be familiar with the characteristics of different types of machines for selecting appropriate machine, depending upon the ability and requirements of the person.
