Dear Vani,
You are very talented! Thank you for such clear instructions that anyone can work with. Can you tell me if you have the method on how to measure bodice and draft a pattern with the measurements for a saree blouse? I want to make one for myself and haven't found great instructions as yours! Any help is appreciated, thank you!
Hi Rupal,
I have posted it already please see

Dear Vani mam, I have a doubt normally in men garments they say no need to differentiate the front and back arm hole how far its correct and in the draft u hv differentiated front and the back. Its highly appreciated my doubt is cleared.
Thanks

I was searching for a draft pattern of the Nehru Shirt and came across your blog. Now I'm so excited to see the many patterns you have put and I look forward to trying out many. Thanks for taking the time and also for sharing your knowledge.
HI Vani,
Could you please explain what does it mean by neckline?...it says CD = 1/2 neckline + 1/4 "...
hi taurean
After joining the shoulders you have to measure the curve O to N and to M that is 1/2 neck line.I am referring to the draft of this post.
