DESIRED LENGTH OF YOUR PENCIL SKIRT; Measure vertically from your navel to the point on your knee or calf where you want the skirt to stop. NB; for this project our measurements include; Waist circumference= 28inches Hip circumference= 40 inches Skirt length= 22 inches CALCULATIONS REQUIRED TO DRAFT PATTERN 4. WAIST CIRCUMFRENCE /4 Using our above sample measurements, we should have 28/4 = 7inches 5. HIP CIRCUMFRENCE/4 We should have 40/4 = 10 Inches EXPLANATION OF DIAGRAM A-C = D-F = G-I = Desired length of skirt A-D = D-G = B-E = E-H = C-F = F-I = (hip circumference/4) + ¼ inches ease Dart placement for back pattern; A-J = (waist circumference/4) + ¼ inches ease + 2 inches dart intake. {using the sample measurement, we should have ; (28/4) + ¼ + 2 = 7+ ¼ + 2 = 9 ¼ A-K = Dart placement; this is the measurement of the centre back waist to the side princess line or the first leg of the dart. { using our ssample measurement, our dart placement would be 3 ½ inches.} K-M = N-P = Dart intake : This is the distance between the two legs of the dart. Dart intake should be 1 inch. L and O are the centre points of the darts. Thus, K-L = L-M = N-O = O-P = ½ inch Length of dart for back pattern; L-Q = 0- R = D-S = Length of dart for back pattern. The length of the dart for the back should be between 5 ½ to 6 inches depending on whether the person is petite, medium or large. { using our sample measurement, we shall use 5 ½ as the length of our back dart}. Distance between the two darts at the back: The distance between the two darts should be 1 ¼ to 1 ½ inches Thus , M-N = 1 ¼ inches.
