Hi every one . Yes we were to make an off shoulder blouse for the 6 piece skirt we made last. But been too busy to even do mine. I did this off shoulder dress for a client recently.thank God I took some photos so I might use this dress to explain the concept of off shoulder. I just pray I have some time to spear this weekend so I can go over it well. The off shoulder class by God's grace will start here on Sunday. So get ur fabrics ready for it.also note that you can make yours as a top or a dress. 3 Likes

EFOSAVAL: When making an off shoulder dress or blouse sleeve and neck is usually cut out .In order words we make a tube first and then return a portion of the sleeve back considering the length you want Some people do the cutting as if they are cutting a normal on - shoulder blouse and then cut out the shoulder area, their reasons for doing it this way they say is to make them get the accurate cut but I think it's a waste of time and fabric [s]like one tailor I used to have those days hummmmm he would even go through the process of ironing airstay and warding only for him to cut it out again[/s] that just gets me like dude stop wasting my resources jare The truth is all you need do is calculate the difference out and subtract that difference before u cut so u manage ur resources. Now let's use my calculations to get the tube area. 4 Likes |

EFOSAVAL: Back 15 Neck 8 Sleeve 4 Arm 10 Upper bust 8 -39 Bust line. 11-42 Under bust.15 -37 Point to point 8 Waist 36 Hip 44 Blouse half length 17 Full length 26 To do this tube I need my bust area and my half length. The fullest part of the bust is what I will consider first coz out of it I can get the other measurements. 42 is the fullest part of my bust so I will divide that into two to make my front and back block 42 ÷2= 21 The half length is 17 but I will cut less than 17.its time I deduct my neck which is 8.i must consider seam allowance to sew the tube too so instead of cutting 8 I will cut 7.5 out. At 8 I am going for a very low neck off shoulder if not u can do 6 or 7 for your self So I have removed 7.5 from 17 what I have left is 9.5 Next I use my 9.5 to length left to form the tube. then I mark out my upper bust bust and under bust so I can shape out the bust cut. I also mark out the arm pit area going down by 2. remember my bust is 42 and we divided that into 2 giving us 21. now out of the 21 in front I want to make the center 8 while the 2 sides will be 13 ÷2=6.5 each. In the picture below I placed the fabric on fold.so the center is 4.5 placed on fold.the half inch on the 4 is for seam allowance. Then the sides are instead of 6.5 which is the exact I add 2 inches extra making 8.5 5 Likes 1 Share

The back is easier all I did is place that my 21 for the back on fold then add allowance for zip on one side and add side seam allowance on the other side then I marked out where my dart will be. The picture below shows it all. 1 Like 2 Shares

Re: Let's Sew For Fun (**valisimo Fashion School Online Classroom**) by bimbam(f): 7:02pm On Dec 02, 2014 |
Kemmy06: Upper Bust: from her shoulder, measure 8" down, at that point, take the measurement around the body which will be 39 Bust: again from the shoulder, measure 11" down, at that exact point, measure around the body and you get 42 Under Bust: from the shoulder, measure 15" down, at that point, measurement will be 37" around the body Those 3 numbers will be transferred to the fabric (how far down and how wide)... HTH These are her own measurements,... your own results will be different. 1 Like |
