Procedure and Illustration

1.) MAKE A PERPENDICULAR LINE AND MARK THE  INTERSECTION AS POINT A.    

A-B – WAIST TO HIP MEASUREMENT (DOWNWARD).

A-C – SKIRT LENGTH MEASUREMENT (DOWNWARD).

C-D – 1 INCH (DOWNWARD).

2.) SQUARE FORWARD POINT B AND POINT C.

A-E – ¼ OF WAISTLINE MEASUREMENT PLUS 1 INCH FOR THE DART (FORWARD).

B-F – ¼ OF 2ND HIP MEASUREMENT (FORWARD)

C-G – ¼ OF 2ND HIP MEASUREMENT MINUS 1 INCH (FORWARD)

3.) CONNECT POINT E TO F, POINT F TO G, POINT G TO D USING A HIP CURVE.

4.)  FROM POINT C RAISE 5 INCHES AND MARK IT POINT H.

5.)  SQUARE 2 ½ INCH POINT H AND MARK IT POINT I (BACKWARD)

6.)  SQUARE 2 ½  INCH POINT C AND MARK IT POINT J (BACKWARD)

7.) CONNECT POINT I TO J USING A STRAIGHT LINE.

8.)  FIND THE CENTER OF THE LINE AE AND MARK IT POINT K.

K-L – ½ INCH (FORWARD).

K-M – ½ INCH (BACKWARD).

9.) SQUARE 5 INCHES DOWNWARD POINT K AND MARK IT POINT N.

10.) CONNECT POINT L TO N,  POINT N TO M  USING A STRAIGHTLINE.

11.)  FROM POINT A DOWN 6 INCHES AND MARK IT POINT O TO LOCATE THE END OF THE ZIPPER.

12.) OMIT THE UNNECESSARY LINES.
