Fit Waistline

Skirt Front Pattern

• If it’s longer, extents both dart until fitting your waist.
• If it’s shorter, reduces both darts to fit your waist.

Skirt Back Pattern

• Measure the new waist line without darts equal (WAIST ÷ 4) - 2
• If it’s bigger or shorter; modify back pattern as the front

Fit upper hip line

• Measure the upper hip line of Front and Back without darts equal ½ of Upper Hip.
• If it’s bigger, reduce the upper hip side line until fit your measurement or draw long dart of Front and Back down until fit.
• If it’s shorter, extent the upper hip side line until fit your measurement or draw long dart of Front and Back up until fit.
  

Note:

• Small waist : dart is very large. If each front dart is wider than 2.5 cms and the back one is wider than 3 cms; reduce 1 cm of the waist side line and 0.5 cm of each dart. For Back pattern have modified it as the same as the Front.
• Larger waist : dart is very small. At Front pattern if each dart is smaller than 1 cm, sum up two darts into one and draw it at the center.
