Your pattern should look like this:

2. Place your front pattern to a folded edge of your sewing fabric. Note: its important you use very soft flowing fabric preferably lycra or chiffon for cowl necklines.

This drawing shows how the parts come together.

1. On your front pattern, cut off the hip area we don,t need it for this dress. 1 and 3 are the back patterns, 2 is the front and 4 is the skirt part. However since 1 and 3 are the same you only need to use the same pattern and cut it twice.

Hello sorry for the delay.

goforwardagu has requested for a tutorial on the cowl neck chiffon dress above.

The first thing you need to do is go back to page 1 of this thread. i need you to create a front and back pattern using the instructions i gave when we were trying to make the blue dress. please post the pix once the pattern is ready and let me know if you are not clear on anything.

We will take it from there.
Fashion / Re: Share Your Dubai Shopping Experience Here by larosa(f): 6:09am On Oct 20, 2014
From my experience:

1. Dubai is very safe don't be afraid to go out of your hotel and explore on your own most of d good bargains I got I ditched my agent and went out alone.

2. lots of very poor quality stuff so check before you buy.

3. you could good as well as poor quality in the same shop.

4. try shops at Nasir square, also shops around d gold souq

5. be friendly and chat with other African / Nigerian women you meet they are quite helpful but pick advise carefully

6. enter balogun market and do proper market survey before you go.

I keep the standard uk sizes 6 - 24 pattern blocks I then grade them to each customers measurements.

it does not make sense to start drafting pattern afresh for every customer. hope this helps.

Hello Larosa,pls i would like to know if u use pattern to cut all ur clothes or u use freehand for some of them.

and i also noticed dat u dint finish d gown u were teaching on.could u just finish it for the sake of finishing cos it might surprise u dat pple are actually following u.not many pple r used to patterns.

thanks and knw that u r gud at what u do.

hi,

I use patterns for all my clothes I have been able to adapt them quickly so I really prefer it. I use freehand only for skirts once in a while.

About the dress tutorial I assumed no one has done the pattern that's why I stopped. OK I will continue tnx for your comment.
