EFOSA VAL:

Same thing applies to the upper bust, and under bust
Upper Bust 39 ÷2 =19.5 +5 =24.5

Under bust 36 ÷2=16 +5 =21



Now I will place my fabric on fold. Mark out 2 inch for the botton area.

Then I mark out my neck area am using 3inch across my shoulder and 2.5inch for shoulder down.

I then measure out my point to point which placed on fold will be 4.note that I must add seam allowance to this 4 which would make it 4.5

My shoulder is 16
16÷2= 8 placed on fold
I shall also add seam allowance 1inch to it

Note that the 2inch for botton is still there .now divide the 1inch by 2 ,we have half and add it to the 8 we have 8.5 on our shoulder. Out of it I will take 3 inch for my neck the rest is for shoulder.

So I placed my upper bust ,bust,under bust measurement using my length and circumference

All that story and drawings. This is the main thing.

Toluh thanks o

I used my divided measurements to cut out my front bodies using my point to point measurement which is 8 to get the front opening .when placed on fold it will be 4.also I need to add seam allowance that gives me 4.5 after my 2inch for bottom area

From shoulder I measured all my length area down.that helped me to know where to place all my circumference area on the accurate line of my length

Which are first I take out my full length 26+ 2 for seam= 28 .

Seam allowance 1inch for shoulder joining

Neck depth 2.5 after sawing it will be 3"inch

Upper bust 8 on that line I will place my 24.5 on fold

Bust line is 11,on that line I placed my 25 on fold too.

Under bust is 14, on that line I will make sure I get 23 placed on fold by reducing the measurement.at this point I will cut out the exccess from the mid point after my point to point which I made 4.5 placed on fold

The next step is to cut it out on fabric and lining.

Hope the pictures tell the story more.

Here is the back.

I take 2inch first for the center seam at the back
I still use my upper burst .burst and under burst measurements divided by 2 plus 5 inch for seam to get my back

The only difference is that I am not going to shape out that burst curve I shaped for the front

How did I get that line coming from the arm hole down?

From where my shoulder stops I measured 1inch down for my shoulder slant.then I measured 5inch down again.I then connected it to my point to point measurement which is 4.5

Next is to add my air stay to my cut out prices then I iron through to make it stick on.




Pls feel free to ask questions o.

Tis is so cool Efosa,u av given us so much to do for the day

so clear and easy to understand

welldone dearie

will get back to u on questions

welldone dearie

will get back to u on questions

Thanks so much dear. hope to see ur project soon too

Hi Efosah, d diagram for d back is not showing can u pls put it up again? Thanks and keep up d good work.

There r some learners in d house,pls brk down a liitle, after folding d material into two(first step rit,after measuring?)

pls Efosa,i dont understand d shoulder.y did u use .5inch for d shoulder slant

secondly, for d back,u dint remove d dart. witout removing d dart wont it luk shapeless at d back?

thank u so much for ur time,God bless u real gud

Hummmm first of.......jacket is not dress o.so beginner's in the house forgive me if it looks like I am very fast. Secondly I told u guys of my memory card issues..... Well still having it but I will try my best to post as many as I can.


Yes the shape at the back issue......u must shape it na remember my burst is 39 waist is 35 hip is 42 so the shape will be there.but it won't be like the front where the burst cup will come out.

All the long and short of the matter here is what my almost finished project looks like......... don't worry I shall explain step by step even if it means going over it again

For the benefit of those who are not up to speed.

Here we go again.

Take the circumference measurement of your bust ,waist, and hip.now divide all the result into two equal parts.

Name the two parts A and B. A is for the front, B is for the back.

Also take the measurement of your breast nipple to nipple that's what I call point to point.it will help us know where to place that seam line where the pocket is placed over

How to of d pocket please

Efosa welldone. I understand everything word 4 word, except for "I then measure out my point to point which placed on fold will be 4. note that I must add seam allowance to this 4 which would make it 4.5"

I got it now. Never mind point to point means d gap between d nipple. Pardon me Efosa.

glamour princez: How to of d pocket please

Pls dear let me do that one for u tomorrow hopefully by then I would have finished the back and front explanation, just for the sake of beginners you know we had to start again for them


Now have u done the steps from my previous post?

Now the results you got for A and B...............let's start with A (front)
Add 5 inch to all the results individually. This 5inch is for seam.1.5 x2 =3 inch this will be used as side seam on both sides.then we are left with 2 inch from our 5.
Remember that point to point line I told u to take the measurement, on those seams we shall put 1inch each on the as seam too,that makes 2 which completes the 5 I told u to add.

CuteXclaim: Efosa welldone. I understand everything word 4 word, except for "I then measure out my point to point which placed on fold will be 4. note that I must add seam allowance to this 4 which would make it 4.5"

CuteXclaim: I got it now. Never mind point to point means d gap between d nipple. Pardon me Efosa.

awwww thanks hun. Am glad you do now
I promise I will take it easy from now on

Efosa thanks 4 d info so far. My question is on the armhole, does de 5inches 4 armhole start afta the 1 inch shoulder slant is taken off the full jacket lenght.

So sorry guys that I couldn't come online since than but anyways I hope some of us who understand the process would have started.but those who don't I will say don't worry soon you will get a hang of trust me

Now still on the process of transferring our measurement to fabric.so let's go

prompt: Efosa thanks 4 d info so far. My question is on the armhole, does de 5inches 4 armhole start afta the 1 inch shoulder slant is taken off the full jacket lenght.

No I first did my 1inch slant.after that I took my 5inch.note that that 5inch will become 4 after sewing coz I will use 1 inch for seam.half on the shoulder.half on that line across the bust

Here is a picture to show what am saying.hope it helps u.





Pls u can ask questions also u can start posting some of your project work even though its not compleated.

Remember that point to point line I told u to take the measurement, on those seams we shall put 1inch each on the as seam too,that makes 2 which completes the 5 I told u to add.

The next step is to transfer the measurement to fabric. U will do this by placing your fabric on fold. Measure out 2 inch for front lap.then measure your shoulder out of your fabric placed on fold.mine is 16.on fold will be 8.but i will cut 9 coz of seam.out of that 9 placed on fold,i will get out my neck.I used 3 inch for mine neck .
Next is to mark your measurement of your bust by length.that is from shoulder down to or up bust.shoulder down to or bust and shoulder down to or under bust .so we can know where to place the divided circumference measurement of the bust.

Here is a daigram to explain my long gist

Using my measurement ,after the division I got 24.5 @ up bust ,25 @ bust and 23 @under bust. Waist 22.5,hip 26.

In all its the hip measurement that's more 26.divide 26 into 2 = 13 thats our place fold measurement


So after the 2inch for flap infront,mark out 13.now go back to the 2inch for the front lap.make sure u are on the bust area and mark out you nipple to nipple of your bust measurement add half inch for the seam. Go to the other extream end of ur fabric mark out your side seam allowance.after this mark what's left this is the second side of the joining where your pocket will be placed over

@EFOSA Welldone and good job. For the armhole, do I have to add 1 inch allowance so its not tight after the joining of the dart that ends at the armhole. My actual arm hole is 9 inches

Secondly you talked about adding air stay to the cuts.were do I add this stay? Is it at the front where buttons would be or where?

Thirdly, would the stay be betweem the fabric and the lining
or on the lining.

Also which one is air stay, I know about soft and hard.

Lastly, how do u get the neck and front to have like taping from the lining ? I mean the green contrast running from neck down the front where buttons would be. Sorry I be learner o.
