How to Cut & Stitch a Princess-Cut Kurti

Hello everyone.. Time for another tutorial. This post would tell you how to make a princess cut kurti. This kurti is very similar to the straight-cut kameez/kurti only difference being in its shape. It has a little A-Line kurti-like shape. For drafting please check out the straight cut kameez tutorial sewing post.

1. You have to note few alterations.
    0-8     =    half shoulder
    0-7     =    3.5" (or about 3 to 4)
    8-A    =    shoulder slope
    1        =    midpoint of AB
    7-2     =    11" (or 10.5")
    3        =     as far from the mid-line as is 7 (0-7) (3.5")
    5-6     =     hip + 3" (Hip measurement is as said in the above (straight-cut kameez) tutorial (RS))
    4        =     midpoint of 5-6
    6-7     =     seam allowances 1.5"

CUTTING

Draw the draft on the fabric and cut along the yellow dotted lines in fig. 1.

After cutting, you would have two centre pieces and four side pieces (both front & back).
STITCHING



Keep both the cut pieces A&B together correspondingly. Next, place the piece B over A in such a way that their right sides face each other and the points E and E+ coincide. Check out fig. 4 and 5.

Secure with pins and sew along the entire length. Repeat the same with the other side and back side pieces too.

For the remaining steps, please refer the straight-cut kameez sewing tutorial. The side seams and slit opening are optional. You can instead choose to sew the side edges together.
Hope this helps...!!
