measured.
3. Tie a string on the exact waistline as a point of reference while taking
measurements.
4. Start with either horizontal or vertical measurements
5. When measuring lengths, let the tape measure hang freely for a more accurate
measurement.
6. In measuring distances or widths, place the end of tape measure to the exact
point of reference.
7. In taking circumference, insert two fingers as an allowance on the part being
measured.
8. Avoid taking measurements in halves, fourths or eights if possible.
9. In measuring long sleeves, ask the client to bend halfway his elbow.
10. Always have a ready personal measurement chart for every client so you
can be sure that all measurements can be taken.

Concept Notes:

1. Waistline Measurement. Run

the tape measure around the waistline.
(A)

This is the measurement around the

smallest part of your waist. You can tie a
string around to find the smallest part.
Wrap the tape around first to find your
natural waist, then measure.

*When measuring a circumference , put

two fingers under the tape measure. This
will serve as additional allowance.

2. Lower Hip Measurement..

On the other side of the hip, run the tape
measure from the waistline level to the
level where the buttocks are fullest. This
will be where the lower hip level will
fall. (B)
3. Lower HipLine. Run the tape
measure along the lower hip level where
the buttocks are fullest. If the stomach is
prominent or rounded add an allowance
of 2 or more inches (or 5.1 cm. or more)
until the fullness of the stomach is
covered. (C) This is done so that the
skirt will fall nicely and not bulge
around the stomach area
4. Skirt length. Run the tape
measure from the waistline level down
to the skirt length desired. (D) Skirt
length may vary depending on the skirt
style. Note down the varying skirt length
that you may desire, like mini length,
channel length, midi length, etc.

Drafting Basic/Block Pattern of the Skirt

Patterns are carefully drafted to give accurate results. They serve as valuable guide in laying,
cutting and assembling the different parts during sewing.
Pattern drafting gives the dressmaker a blueprint of what a garment will look like. It also serves as a
guide for the dressmaker.
Two kinds of Patterns
1. Foundation Pattern is a simple pattern which contains the exact body measurements and reflects
no definite style,
2. Style Pattern- shows the style of the garment to be constructed. It
contains the necessary seam allowances that are found in the finished garment.
