This is my 1st post for dressmaking, but it is not the 1st dress that I made for myself..:)



















Actually I should show you, how to draw this pattern. But I just realize it when i already cut off the paper pattern :p PAISE..!!

Nevermind.. Next time I promise you all, to post " how to draw pattern" .

This 3 paper cutting are Body back and front part plus collar.










Lay out back part of body on onfold material and give allowance 3cm for bottom, 2 cm for side, 1.5 cm for armhole and collar and for shoulder join is 2 cm.










For front part , lay the paper pattern on 2 layered of material and place it near to the edge and give allowance 1 cm ( join the another part for buttons.. as this dress is front buttons opening).











Remember!! when you lay out the pattern for front part,please put small piece of cloth ( about tennis ball size) or used a bra padding ( for me, I prefer to use bra padding , because it easier to manage)under the material ,put near the bust point. Do you know why I have to put cloth or bra padding under the material? :-)
the answer is simple.. We are women who has breast on our body front part, so if you put padding when you lay out and cut the material , the front part of your dress will fit you nicely.






Cutting Time.....

To Be continue in Part 2....
