Drafting Instructions:
(Outline)
A-F = fold full length of blouse +1 ½” , join A to F
A-B = ½ shoulder + ¼”
(Tip: add ¼" to the shoulder if you have halter/collar neck or you will feel tightness and less ¼" if your neck is deep from backside or your shoulders will drop)
A-B = ½ shoulder + ¼”
(Tip: add ¼" to the shoulder if you have halter/collar neck or you will feel tightness and less ¼" if your neck is deep from backside or your shoulders will drop)
A-C = ¼th bust – 1”
B-D = A-C
Square down A,B,C,D
C-E = ¼th bust + 1” for ease, join C to E
F-G = ¼th waist + 1” for ease, join F to G
Join E-G, allow 1" seam allowance (that will be your cutting line)
Join E-G, allow 1" seam allowance (that will be your cutting line)
N = bust point (10” avg.) from mid shoulder to mid bust.
Join point K to point N with a curved line.
Join point K to point N with a curved line.
Join point N to point M with a straight line.
Separate the front part in to two portions by cutting along the curves K,N,M.
(Neckline)
A – H = 1/12th bust
A – L = back neck depth 1” - 6” , shape H – L with a round curve
A – L1 = front neck depth 5” – 6” , shape H – L1 with a neckline of your choice
(Armholes)
B – I = ½” , join H – I
Mark point J in the middle of B- D, join I,J,E with a curve line for back armhole
Mark point K ½” in from J, joint I,K,E with a curve line for front armhole
(Button Stand)
Cut along the line L1 - F for front opening OR L - F for back opening.
Cut along the line L1 - F for front opening OR L - F for back opening.
Length = L1 – F + ½” (2 pieces) OR Length = L – F + ½” (2 pieces)
Width = Right side 2” , Left side 2½”
(Sleeves)
