Hi,
Today, for a change, I will tell how to draw a pattern for a basic skirt. It is very easy to draft a basic skirt and you can save a copy of draft for future use. Once you draft a basic skirt, we can pattern many other forms of skirt:
Measurements required: For example,
Waist - 70 cm
hips - 94 cm
Waist to hip - 20.6 cm
Skirt length - 59 cm
Note: Take a brown paper for drawing draft. For rough use, we can use newspaper
DRAFT:
Draw a horizontal line which is the sum of half hip measurement plus 1.5 cm (Refer Pattern given below)
I take 94/2 = 47 cm + 1.5 and mark it as 1 and 2.
Starting from 1, draw the skirt length 59 cm. mark it as 3. Square across from 3 and mark it as 4.
Now take waist to hip measurement which is 20.6 cm. Square across to 6.
Note: After you have drawn the above stated things, you have to take the left side part as back and the right side part is your front.
Quarter the hip measurement plus 1.5 cm
94/4 = 27 cm + 1.5 = 28.5. Take 28.5 cm from 1 and mark the other end as 9. Square down to 8. See the picture.
From 9, take 1.25 cm up the point 9. Draw a separate dotted lines from 7 to 10 and 10 to 1.
Divide the line from 1 to 10 into three equal parts. Mark points 11 and 12.
From point 11 square down to 14 cm as dotted line and mark it as 13
From point 12 square down to 12.5 cm as dotted line and mark it as 14.
From point 11 take 1 cm on either side and converge to point 13. Follow the same step from point 12
Draw in the waist line with a slight curve.
Quarter the waist measurement plus 2.25 cm. Follow as stated above in the back.
From 15 take 1.25 cm up and mark it as 16. Draw dotted lines from 16 to 7 and 16 to 2
Take one third distance from 2 to 16 and mark the point as 17 with a dotted line. Draw 10 cm down from 17 and mark it as 18. Take 1 cm on either side of point 17.
Draw in the waist line with a slight curve.
