Next... counting from the upper left corner of your paper measure 3 inches horizontally along the nape line. the tip of your tape should be at the left edge of the paper .mark it. repeat at the back. without moving the tip of your tape measure, rotate the tape down and measure down 3 inches to form a quadrant. this is your neck hole. Remember we have marked our shoulder length on the shoulder line? from the point where the neck hole touches the nape line, draw a line to touch the shoulder point. |
Repeat the process for the back pattern Note that what we are doing here is a simplified version of the basic pattern because of the beginners we would do without the bust dart. obviously there is no ni pple at the back but for the sake of this tutorial use the same measurement as the shoulder to ni pple we used in front. any questions before we continue? |
Since pix are not uploading let's continue while am trying to resolve the problem. divide your shoulder measurement by 2. measuring from the left of your paper mark whatever you get along the line labelled shoulder line . Do this for the front and back. divide your bust measurement by 4 . measuring from your left along the line labelled bust line make a mark. divide waist measurement by 4 mark the point on the line labelled waist line. divide hip measurement by 4 mark the point on the line labelled hip line |
Can someone please help me out? whenever I try posting closeup pix they don't upload . I keep getting error message without the closeup pix not sure how people would be able to follow me. I can only upload pictures taken from a distance Am using an Android phone camera and uploading the pix on my PC using Mozilla Firefox. |

larosa: By now your paper should be looking like this for the front. Note that the gap between each line would vary depending on the measurements you are using.Pix not uploading will try to modify and resend it. |

Repeat the process on the paper labelled BACK. NOw take your tape, measure from your shoulder straight down to your nipple. note the measurement go back to the paper labeled front. Mark from the very first line measuring vertically down your shoulder to nipple measurement . e.g if its 10 inches you measure 10 down from the nape line. draw a straight line across the whole paper, label this line Bust line. Do this for the front only. |
Hello ladies.... OK. label the first line NAPE the second line shoulder the third line waist measure vertically down from the third line 8 inches . draw a horizontal line across your paper. label it hipline |
VikkyD: So sorry ma'am, not been on NL in a while. Been swamped with school work. My exams are starting on the 11th of this month. But I promise that once I'm through, I'll go through and work on mine. Remain blessed.OK wishing you all the best in your exams. |
Remember we are using 6 sheets of paper? Label this set with the lines FRONT. repeat the whole process with the second set of 3 sheets and label it BACK. i.e. joining of papers and drawing of lines. |
Measuring vertically down from the above line mark a point 1 inch. mark another point the same measurement as your shoulder to waist then from the waist point, mark the measurement from your waist to the floor. crosscheck the measurements from the 1st one inch to the floor it should equal your full dress length . |
Starting from the uppermost left corner of your paper mark a straight horizontal line 3 inches from the top across the paper please ensure the line is very straight |
this dress has a total of 9 panels so we start by joining 3 sheets of brown paper end to end in portrait layout. The dress is quite long so depending on how tall you are the length of your joined sheets should be at least +/- 60 inches. |
Please note the following measurements : bust , waist, hip shoulder shoulder to waist sleeve length bicep full length from shoulder to the floor ( front and back) waist to knee |
