Introduction
Now that we know a little bit more about preparation of the fabric – see volume I – and how to fold it before it is cut, we come to the most important part, designing dresses. This is taking your measurements and after that we are going to start doing the pattern drafting in volume III.
So while you are measuring, you have to remember these important points – garment cutting is based on measurements and that is why every inch is going to count. Also, you have to give some allowance to many parts of the garments so that you do not find yourself bursting out of it because it has been cut too tight and there was no way in which you could loosen it.
Apart from that, you need to know the personal requirements regarding the style, fit, pockets, shape, buttons, color, ideas about what is wanted, before taking measurements. If you are making a dress for yourself, remember to look at all the design options available out there, so that you can find something which suits you best.
