Dear Vani,
I saw your blog and appreciate you effort. I want to stitch a patiala salwar. your blog has helped me.
Now I when i did the draft I am getting confuse with the E-F point. It says f.L-W.B +2.5". The main confusion is whether to consider the waistband length with the extra 2 inches or not (that is A-C= seat/6 +2)
Kindly help me

pleats comes at back side of salwar???? if yes then what is the facing direction of back pleats, i am new in sewing,.pls reply
Mam, Thank you so much. Today I stitched patiala shalwar, it i came out well, but the pleats are not very close and more, is it becos I used old saree for trying it out for fist time, which has only less panna. I excluded borders as well
Mam, In your blog patiala salwar you have taught is semi patiala or full patiala. How much fabric is required for both is there any difference in stiching /cutting methods.Please clarify.
