Method of drafting
A-B = length of the dress + 1” + 1/2 “
A-D -= I /4 chest+ 1/2”
Draw perpendiculars from A, D and B and mark the points C, E and F as follows:-
A-C = shoulder width + ½ “
D-E=1/4 chest +1” + ½”
B-F = D_E + 2”
A-C =D-L .Mark point G on C-L such that C-G = ½” Join H-G
Join E-F. Mark H such that H-F =1”
A-H = 1/12 chest + ¼”. A-I = 1/12 chest + ½”
A-K=1”
Shape back neck K-H, Front neck I-H.Shape scye C-G-E. Shape bottom .B-H
If the cloth is wide enough button stands can be cut along with the back as shown. Otherwise separate pieces are joined.
Parts
Stitching
Join left and right of the back pieces till the button stands. (Shown by dotted line)
