It is easy to make a kurti .Here you can learn how to make a kurti through drafting.
Pattern Drafting
A-B; C-D = 1/4 of Chest + 1.5"or 2"
A-C; B-D = length +1 .5" or 1"
A-E ; H-I = 1/12 of chest +1/4"
A- F = 1/2 of shoulder
B-L; F-O = 1/4 of chest - 1.5 inch.
A- H = front neck 1/6
A- G = back neck ( the deep of the front and back neck as desired)
M-N = 1/2 inch
A-P = waist length ( below the Breast) ,
P-Q = 1/4 of waist +1.5"
A-R = hip length
R-S = 1/4 of hip +1.5"
First you mark the shape of armhole "F-M-L". this is back armhole.
Next take 1/2" from "M" inside and mark give a shape "N"as in fig front armhole.
Shoulder drop ( F-J) = Mark 1/2"
Cutting
Give a shape and cut along "D-L-M-F and J to E".
You have to cut the back neck "G-E". and front neck "H-E" separately
Back armhole shape "L-M-F"
Now Cut the front armhole shape separately that is L ,N,F.
Sleeve:-
A-B ,C-D take the same armhole measurement as in kurti or sleeve width +1.5"
A-C length + 1.5"
B -E 1/12 of chest
K -H inside 1/2".
C - G half of sleeve round + 1"
Draw the shape and cut along the outside marking (G -E -K -F)to obtain the shape of the sleeve.
After getting the shape again you have to cut the front sleeve depth that is "F-H -E" as front armhole depth.
These measurements are including seam allowances.
