Transforming old clothes into new modern and easy to-wear

Supplies

Step 1: Fashion Illustration

I started by drawing an imaginary sketch of the new design and used watercolor wood and markers for coloring and fine laner pens




Step 2: Pattern Drafting

Measurements:

1-bust 82+4=86/4=21.5

2-waist64+4=68/4=17

3-waist length =42

4-shoulder width=42

5-neck circ.=36/6=6

6-V neck =22

7-hip circ.=90+10=100/4=25

8-back width=34/2=17

9-hip height=20

10-total length=72

11-total length 2=78

12-waist dart=21.5-17=4.5 .2.5 to side line and 2 in the center of the waist

13-waist division :2sides =11.5*2 and the center=11

14-sleeves length=60

15-sleeves width=pattern bust chord -1=20.5-1=19.5

16-head of sleeves=2/3from pattern back chord =2/3*20.5=13.5
