Anarkali Dress Drafting (with panel skirt)

Panel Dress (Panels)

Drafting Instructions:
A-B = Waist to Knees + 5” (or as per requirement) 
A-C = Waist divided by number of panels required (ie 28/16=1.75 - fold that to half) 
B-D = Width of flair divided by number of panels required (ie 120/16=7.5 - fold that to half) 
Fold your fabric, iron it, draw and cut 1 panel as shown in Figure 1. Then replicate remaining panels from the first one. Then join them all together and finish seams. There should be same number of panels at both front and back side (ie 8 panels at front and 8 panels at back side). Your skirt is ready.
