FLARED SKIRT PATTERN

Instruction :
- Make form of skirt pattern, change waistline and modify skirt pattern to fit your measurement.

Front Pattern
- Draw AB line from first dart to long skirt line, cutting B to A and extend pattern’s paper 2-4 cms as your pattern’s size
- Paper is inflated at A point, fold the dart inside to be flatten.
- After flatten dart, measure 2 darts into one then divide 2 darts into equal.
- Measure bottom sideline up 2 cms

Back Pattern
- Draw CD line from dart to long skirt line, cutting from D to C, then extend pattern’s paper as the same as front pattern.
- Fold dart inside to be flatten.
- Measure bottom sideline up 2 cms, then draw new long skirt’s line

FITTED SKIRT PATTERN

Instruction:

- Make form of skirt pattern, change waistline and modify skirt pattern to fit your measurement.

- Reduce long skirt’s sideline in 2-4 cms of both front and back pattern.

Front Pattern
At Dart

To avoid stitch shrinking, draw dart’s point lean to sideline about 1 cm.

Back Pattern

At Zipper of center back, measure placket at long skirt line 15 cms long.

MODIFY SKIRT PATTERN

Change the waistline



Skirt Front Pattern

Change the waist line after making form of skirt pattern by

A) Normal shape

• Measure A point down to 1.5 cms then draw new arc line from A to C

B) Large shape

• Measure A point down around 0.5 to 1 cms which depends on your belly shape then draw new arc line from A to C

Skirt Back Pattern

• For any shape, change the waist line by measured K point down to 1.5 cms then draw new arc line to M

Fit Waistline

Skirt Front Pattern

• Measure the new waist line without darts is equal (WAIST ÷ 4) + 2
• 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.

SKIRT PATTERN

Making Form of Skirt Pattern

1. Waistline is 3 cms. from the header of pattern paper.
2. Upper Hip line is 10 cms from waist line.
3. Hip line is 20 cms from waistline.
4. Measure long skirt from waistline to the bottom line as you like for your measurement


Skirt FRONT Pattern

At the waistline measure

• A to B and X to Y = (HIP ÷ 4) + 2
• Draw side line BY and fold line. AX
• B to C is 2 cms and draw arc line from C to D

At the waistline; draw 1^st dart.

• A to E = 7.5 cms
• E to F = 2 cms
• Find the center and draw EF dart to Upper Hip line
  

Draw 2^nd Dart

• F to I = 4 cms
• I to J = 2 cms
• Draw IJ dart 10 cms long to Upper Hip line.

Skirt BACK Pattern

At the waistline measure

• K to L and T to V = (HIP ÷ 4) – 2
• Draw LV line.

Sideline measure

• T to M = 2 cms and draw arc line M to N at the Hip line

At the Zipper

• Measure from K to P = 1.5 cms then draw zipper line P to Q at Hip.
• Back pattern has only one dart which measure from P to R = 6.5 cms
  
• R to S = 3 cms then draw RS dart to O point for 12 cms long
