[Cute Confessions of Sew Addict] Anarkali Kameez Tutorial - Voted !

[CreativeMama]

Anarkali Kameez got the maximum votes.... so as promised lets demystify Anarkali Kameez

'Kali' means Panels. So it is most popularly tagged as Empire waist top + Panel Skirt

The norm is to have 10 panels each at front & back...though it is customizable as per our wish. After all we are our own designers aren't we ....

In this diagram of prototype Anarkali Kameez, I chose the princess seam + empire waist bodice.

Skirt can be flared anywhere between A-Line to Semi-circle to Circle skirt. Chose a base skirt 

Divide that base skirt into panels. Normally it is 10 panels at front & 10 Panels at the back.

We will work with 1/4 draft so it will be 5 panels that we will be drafting (on Fold at CF & CB)

So are you gals (n guys) ready?!

All you need is a fitting basic shift dress / Kameez with 2 darts (darts only optional depends on the fit you desire...but the more fitting the anarkali kameez, the better it looks!) 

This week we will finish Anarkali kameez right from pattern drafting,cutting,sewing... till we have the finished outfit...

Join in... have fun...
