Aloli: Among the measurements listed is the arm hole, please how do you measure this on a person's body. Thanks

I don't. ...coz so come with real bad body odor
So I just don't put my lovely tape rule there.

What I do is I measure the upper bust length the bust length and the under bust length from the shoulder down . usually my arm hole area is around my upper bust


Eg bust length , bust circumference
Upper 8 36
bust 10 38
Under 13 32


with this if our upper bust length is 8 then then my arm hold would be around 7 ,8 maximum 9.8 is perfect.it can never be 10 because that would mean it would expose the bust area and the arm hole will be too big

tushwitch: Ma, there's something wrong with my dress, it looks ill fitting when loose, guess I'm gonna make it fitted instead, cause i *'borrowed ' the machine i used

Next lesson pleeeeeeeeeeease.

yeeeeeeee nice job ladies.well done to all.i love all your comments.


I have been supper busy these last few days. And this type of busy is a different one for me so just trying to adjust to the new level I and my job is presently attaining. I am joining the league of celebrity designers and I must tell you it's a whole new experience that's so exciting to me.

First of all I am so grateful that some how God has helped make my childhood dreams come true. I always said to my self that I won't stop until celebrities start wearing my collections coz those designers that celebrities wear their collections don't have two heads .they are people who worked really heard to get to the stage they are now enjoying thus I too can do it. hummmm now I am on a roll o.na from one celeb to another celeb. gradually them all go sabi me as long as I don't stop, I give quality and most of all the grace of God.


I am telling you about this coz I want you to be inspired to love what ever it is you do and be ready to work very hard to take your passion to great hight that others would appreciate.Never give up coz you don't know when the wonderful opportunity you are praying for will come.

Now I have so many lovely styles in mind that I will like to do as project here but I am afraid of these that are still really new at this so they don't lose interest in it.

But at the same time it's time to start doing serious beautiful designs....

Any ways let me post pictures of our next project.

We making a peplum top.yeep with pad and bust cut.i know some people will go . Don't worry its not hard plus u can rock it with a skirt or a pair of jeans. which I love doing a lot.
As for the fabric. ....you can use any thing you like dear lace or ankara even that stretchy lace can do it.also as for the padding you can decide to pad or not either way as long as u measure and cut right it will fit u

Pele dear... don't worry we can do something to it.u can use that place as ur back and use the other as your front just by lowering the neck line.also u can just add a particular fabric to stitch it together and that would just give ur dress another twist

madam efosa I rejoice with u for this new level but u haven't seen anything yet,the Lord will take u far far.you are sowing into peoples lives and u must surely reap.Go on and enjoy this new level

this will be a stepping stone for greater things to come ijn, congratulations ma...... dey wait for next class o

Please ooo am still here, it's just that I have a lot of work on hand. I made a gathered skirt but I am yet to upload it. Hopefully, I will be done with this project by next week then I can make the dress.

Efosa, those celebrity designers do not have two heads like you said and I thank God for you that you are following your dreams. My friends are the ones encouraging me to keep going, so am taking the plunge and I pray that this takes off. Keep up the good work.

That being said, the peplumtop is a good idea and I already have a top that I have cut it's just to put it together so am ahead of the class

@Efosa how many yards can be use for this peplum top(the first pics)
