let's go

The next step is to chat out our measurement areas on our fabric. For clear understanding follow these steps.

1, Identify your key point areas (circumfrence measurement )and divide all by 2.
Bust 40 , waist 35 ,Hip 42

2, After the division add 5inch to each divided result for seam allowance.

So u will have Bust 40 ÷2= 20 + 5= 25

Waist 35 ÷2= 17.5 + 5=22.5

Hip 42 ÷2= 21 + 5 =26

Hip 42 ÷2= 21 + 5 =26

Same thing applies to the upper bust, and under bust
Upper Bust 39 ÷2 =19.5 +5 =24.5

Under bust 36 ÷2=16 +5 =21



Now I will place my fabric on fold. Mark out 2 inch for the botton area.

Then I mark out my neck area am using 3inch across my shoulder and 2.5inch for shoulder down.

I then measure out my point to point which placed on fold will be 4.note that I must add seam allowance to this 4 which would make it 4.5

My shoulder is 16
16÷2= 8 placed on fold
I shall also add seam allowance 1inch to it

yaaaay........lets go. weldone Efosa
