Having recently learned to draft basic patterns, I am pleased to find your very informational video. It makes good sense to me and now I wonder if the same ideas can be applied for the front and back bodice pieces. If I used the amounts you applied for the differences between the waist and hip and applied that same idea for the differences between the bust and and the waist, I would think that would help for a better fit there too. So if the waist was 27" and the bust was 36", then a difference of 9" would be 1.5" to add to the front bust and subtract from the back bust line. And If I have calculated correctly, then the front half of the bust area would have that amount added to 18" (therefore 19.5") and the back bodice piece at the bust would be 16.5" (18"-1.5"). I realize this does not include ease or seam allowances, but think it is a more advanced way to determine good shaping for your patterns. Please correct me if this is wrong --- don't 'want to mislead myself or others. Thank you for sharing this information.
I do deduct 0.5" from my front hip cos that was how I was thought but no one ever explained it to me like this. And that 0.5 is for all hip I do ooo. Thank you so so much for sharing this.
This is really beautiful. Please can you show how to sew with full lining? I followed everything here but got confused when I was about taking my final measurement ie, final shaping. I turned it with lining.
I love 💕 this video. Thanks for your time and support. My question however is, what if you want to draft a gown instead of skirt, can I adopt this approach? Or better still, why not do a gown tutorial and incorporate this approach from the waist downward
Thank you for this wonderful tutorial. But I want to know if I’ll have to raise the side seams (for the front & back) if I’m sewing a gown. Is it necessary for the half cut?.
This is beautiful to know.pleasw does this apply to trouser,BCos most times I make trouser the line on the sides is always moving towards the front instead of staying at the proper side seam line.
This is great But please sis, if u say de difference between the waist and de hip, am a bit confused, please is it that you will subtract ur waist from ur hip? Thank you
@@sewstylewithGB alright, so for me my hip is 43 and waist is 32, meaning if I subtract 43-32 it will be 11, that means I have to take 2 Inc from the front right?
Awesome❤. I want to ask, can this allocation method be applicable for a gown without half cut bodies just completely straight gown (without joining)? 2ndly, how many inches can i step down by at the back pattern after the hip line before connecting to the hem? 3rdly, can the allocation method also used for a straight skirt? Thank you.❤
For the first question Yes it's applicable to a straight gown Second question You can use between 6 to 8 inches to get the underbutt line Third question Yes, you can use it for a straight skirt
Yes, it can be applied to a gown To get the perfect Hip, measure from the waistline of your client to the fullest part of the hip, it is usually between 8, 9, or 10 inches depending on the Client
Ma i enjoyed ur teaching very well but got confused with the calculation,where you said the difference between ur waist ad ur hip measurements is 9.pls can u eleborate more on it, please.
Thank you for this video its really informative. Please my question is: can this method still be applied to a pencil skirt with an elastic band by the sides? bearing in mind that some inches will be added to the waist which will automatically ulter the original waist measurements in other to accommodate the elastic band?. Thank you.
No I mentioned it in the video Divide your waist by 2, subtract 0.5 or 1 inch from the back waist, and add to the front waist. You can rewatch the video I mentioned it
The beginning was understandable but you keep saying hem but doing things on the waist line. Very confusing hard to follow. Idk what number you used to get dark how deep down did you go?
So sorry about that I was actually explaining the hem part, even though I was taking the dart on the Waistline. Please, I will do a detailed video on this skirt pattern soon with sewing part inclusive
because of the curvy edges of the band at the waist area, do you cut the band on fold or what? does it have joining becauae of the curve edges? thank you
@@BeatriceOpia-ht3bx Sorry, it was a mistake I realized it after I was done posting it But it all fall on the same category (the 9 and 11). Just understand the concept
@@onwulinda2539 1.5 inches is the highest you can use (For gowns), i use 1.5 inches when making my gowns because my back is a bit inverted, from my shoulder to my back waistline. Observe your clients body, if the back is straight, you can use 1inch instead. Plus sizes depending on how they look at the back, 1 inch can be the best for them.
No There's no formula for that, you have to observe your client body. If the tummy is obvious big, it means you should applied the formulae, I gave on the channel, but if not you can go ahead and divide the waist by 4 inches
@@sewstylewithGBma, your illustrations are superb but sometimes your actions are faster than your words , it’s confusing but I will take my time to watch again. Thank you.
