3 . cross back = 9 " ( shoulder )
Size of paper :---
Length = 9"
width =11 " ( 1/2 round chest )
CONSTRUCTION OF LINES :---
Mark the corners A B C D .
A B and C D = Width of the bodice block .
A C and B D = Length of the bodice block .
BACK AND FRONT :---
Fold or divide the paper width wise into half for half front
and half back block .
E E1 Armhole line or chest line is 1/2 length = 4 1/2 "
F F1 Cross back line length = 2 1/4 "
G G1 shoulder is 1/8 length = 1/8 "
BACK BODICE BLOCK :-----
1. On the shoulder line G G1 take + 1 = 1/3 of AB + 1/2 " or
half cross back for cross back . Do the same from E .
Mark M 1 . Join H to H 1 with a line .
2 . BACK NECK :---2. ( a ) Width = 1/2 G H .
Measure it from A and mark the point as I .
( b ) Depth = 1/2 " below A on the AC line mark A 1 .
( c ) Join A 1 and I with a slight downward curve .
SHOULDER :--- Join I M with a straight line for the
shoulder , and extend 1/2 " out from H mark H 2 .
4 .ARMHOLE :----Curve , join H 2 and J with a
curve .
5 .SIDE LINE :---Go in 1/2 " from J , and mark
it as K . Join J and K for the side seam .
FRONT BODICE BLOCK :----
1 . NECK - ( a ) width = 1/2 GH . m easure it from B
and mark the point L .
(b ) . Depth up to crossback line F 1 .
( c ) . Join L and F 1 with a deep downword curve .
( 2 ) SHOULDER :---- ( a ) Join L H with a straight line
( b ) measure I and H 2 along L H line for the
front shoulder . Mark it M there .
I H 2 = L M .
( 3 ) ARMHOLE :----( a) From M drop a perpendicular
on the chest line .
( b ) Take 1/4 " from the perpendicular on the cross front line and
mark it N .
( C ) Join M , N and J with a deep inward curve .
( 4 ) SIDE :---Take 1/2 " from J and call this point o .
Join J and O with a straight line for the side seam .
CHILD 'S SLEEVE BLOCK :---
MEASUREMENTS :---
LENGTH = 4 " to 5 "
WIDTH = 11 "
Fold one paper into half , keeping one fold on the top .
Mark A B C D .
CONSTRUCTION OF LINES :---
1 . P oint E from B is 1/4 of one length of the bodice - block .
2 .Draw a guiding line from A to E .
3 .Join A E with an outer curve 3 /4 " from center for the back .
4 .The front of the sleeve crosses at the center of the guiding
line and goes 1/4 " in and 1/4 " out on either side ( as
shown in the diagram ) .
SKIRT :----
Skirt length = full length - waist length
A B = width of the material or 1/2 ch + 4 "
A C = skirt length + 2 "
A B = CD
SEAMS AND PROCESS :---
1 .P lain seams at sides and shoulder .
2 . Hem at bottom and sleeves bottom also .
3 . Neck should finish with collar or false hem or piping .
SUITABLE MATERIAL :----Printed , Nylon , cambric , checked etc .
CLOTH ESTIMATION :--- 1 body length + sleeve length + 2 skirt
lengths .
