6. Join D-C1 and write centre back.
7.B-B1=C-C1
8.Join A-B1 and write centre front
9.B1-C1=B-C.
10. Join B1-C1 and write hem line.
11.B-E half of B-C.-B1-E1 half of B1-C1
12.A-F=B-E
13.Join F-E2 and write side seam line.
14.D-H half of C-D(e.g:41 /2=20.5CM)
15. H-I parallel B-C write bust line.
(this line is found approx. 3-5cm from the centre bust.
16.E2-E3 4CM If you would like the back to be more fitted.
17.Q-Q2=4 cm
18.Join Q2-E3 MOVED SIDE LINE.
19.C-X hip m height=20 cm
20.Trace X-Y HIP LINE
21.D-G Half of the shoulder length+ ease (e.g:36.5+3.5=40/2=20 cm)
22. H-L=1/3 D-H(e.g:21/3=7 cm)

25.H1-I1 Under Arm section length+ ease(e.g:12.4 cm)
26. Draw G-H1 Parallel to D-H
27.Draw I1-J1 Parallel to G-H1.
28. Draw the centre bust.

4.
Lower the front collar by 1-1.5 cm Point U3.
U3-U4 4cm as desired.
Join U4-B3 and join with the bottom line with a curve as
desired.
WAIST DART
The waist dart and side tapering are determined by the
difference between hip and waist , which is distributed
proportionally
along the line of the waist dart and on the side line,
in addition to the creation of a small 1.5cm Dart, with peaks on
the armscye and pocket line .

5.
MEASUREMENTS:- Arm circumference 29 cm and arm length 58 cm.
On the left hand side of the piece of pattern paper, draw a rectangle with points A-B-E-F, where:
1.A-E is equals to BASE BODICE SECTION+1/2 SECTION(e.g:12.4+6.2=18.6 cm)
2. A-B Sleeve length measurement(e.g: 58 cm)
3.A-G Equal to measurement of L2-P1 minus 1 cm from the base of the back bodies. (e.g:12.5-
1=11.5)
4.Trace G-X parallel to A-E.
5. A-N half of A-B+2(e.g:58/2=29+2=31 cm). ELBOW LINE.
6.A-M=2/3 of A-E.CENTRE SHOULDER(e.g:18.4X2=36.8/3=12/3+1=13.3 cm).
7.M-M1=1/3 OF A-G(e.g:10.5/3=3.5 cm)

check the measurement of the entire sleeve cap, which should
be greater then the measure of the armscye, by a variable
amount, based on the type of fabric used.
