Above pic is of my kurta which I cut yesterday.The details of the measurements are below.
K-L=Hip round
M-N= Bottom line of kurta.
O-P =Sleeves roundTo take the measurement:
Take measuring tape and keep the point 0 in the middle point of neck and shoulder to measure the required length,for shoulder length keep point 0 at one end of shoulder to another. For G-H keep the point 0 in the middle point between shoulder and neck and measure till the last rib of chest cage . For sleeves keep the point 0 at one end of shoulder and take the required length of arm .
MEASUREMENTS TO BE TAKEN AROUND THE BODY
C-D = Chest
O-P =Sleeves round
Take care that you measure properly not too tightly or too loose coz the fitting of the dress depends on the correct measurements.
NECKLINE
In the pic you can see 1,2,3 and two beautiful colored curves.They are the neckline .To measure the neckline, keep point 0 at 1 and measure SLANT WISE upto 3 as required.Apply this procedure for BACK and FRONT neckline.In the pic the GREEN curve is for Back Neck line and the PINK curve is for Front Neck line.
Hope you find my tutorial easy to follow.In case of any difficulty to drop your comments.I’ll help you out.
Have a nice day!!

Hi Gurmeet,
Nice tutorial. Its very interesting.
How we measure waistline G-H from stitched top?
Is this measurement is same for all (man,boys, girls?
Gurmeet Kaur says
Dear Archu,
Thanks for appreciating my efforts.
See if chest measurement is 32, G-H will be 14″ and for chest measurement more than 32 take G-H will be 15″. For man, boys it may differ am not sure.
