Baby's clothes-Jabla

Jabla is a comfortable baby’s wear. It is always better if it is stitched with thin soft cotton fabric. Pastel colours look good. Neck is finished with a casing through which a draw string is passed.It is advisable to tie the draw string near the shoulder to avoid baby from pulling it.

Different types of high necklines

High "V" neck blouse

Sari blouse draft can be converted to high neck blouse draft by making certain changes in neck drafting. Back neck is raised a little. Different shapes can be given for the front neck.

Back

Back neck= A-G 1/12 chest
G-G’=½”
Join shoulder line G’-R and shape back neck curve A-G’

Front

A-G =1/12 chest +¼”
W-G =1¼”
A-X = neck depth = to taste
Join X-W and produce to Y such that W-Y = back neck A-G’ +½”
Draw a perpendicular at Y. Y-Z = W-G=1¼”.
Join G-Z.
