ReplyDeleteHi, can you please tell me how much seam allowance to give after drafting the above pattern? I looked through the instructions many times but no mention of it. Great tutorial and blog by the way :)

Hi, usually 1" seam allowance is required, you can increase or decrease it as required.
Deleteregards.
Gazal great work with the upload..thank you for being so generous!!
ReplyDeleteHow can you prevent the shoulder from dropping? The back neck is not very low but the shoulder always drops and the neckline does not look neat! Appreciate a reply!
ReplyDeleteyou can deduct 1/4th" from the shoulders to stop them from dropping. for a neat neckline check my post on how to prepare neckline facings. hope that was helpful.

ReplyDeleteIt should be measured from mid shoulder to middle of bust.
DeleteHello, your explanations are lovely but how to take the point N? i mean from where should i measure 10", from bottom or neck line?? please reply.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this fab tutorial. I was trying to do this but got stuck at point N... I am unable to figure out how we measure point N. Though you have mentioned its average 10" I am not sure from where it starts.
ReplyDeleteHi, it should be measured from the middle of the shoulder.
Deletehey can u please tell me how cut the same pattern with buttons on front?
ReplyDeleteIt is possible to have a front opening (cut in the middle, finish seams and stitch buttons) but in princess cut it is usually made back opening for better shape.
Deleteis it possible to provide buttons on front for this pattern if yes, then how?
ReplyDeleteDear Gazal,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for such detailed instructions, I am just struggling with one thing.. Do we treat M to N and K to N like a dart and add the half inch dart as in the other saree pattern?
You have to cut along the line KNM, then stitch back and finish the seam.
