Previously, we have seen the Regular Kurti Cutting, Kaftan Kurti Cutting, Angrakha Kurti Cutting & Alia Cut Kurti Cutting.
In this session, we will learn the trending A-Line Cut Kurti Cutting Method.
Cotton, rayon, silk, etc., fabrics are mostly used in this kurti.
2.5-3 m fabric is required to make an A-line cut kurti cutting method.

Required Measurements For A-Line Cut Kurti Cutting Method:

Here is the method to take body measurements.

• Length – measure from the shoulder to the length to be kept
• Shoulder – measure from the back side from left to right, covering the whole shoulder
• Chest – measure from the top of the breast in a round
• Waist – measure 7-8″ below the chest till the thinnest part of the waist and take measurements in rounds
• Seat – measurement should be taken around the hips
• Armhole Round – measure in the round near the joint of the hand
• The sleeve-cutting method is the same for every garment.

Steps with figure:

• Now, after taking the updated measurement, take a sample of any measurement to know how much more fabric to cut for sewing.
  • Length: 42″
  • Shoulder: 16″
  • Chest: 36″
  • Waist: 32″
  • Seat: 40″
  • Armhole ring: 16″  ( Armhole measurement is taken by measuring the armhole ring or after cutting the sleeve. )
• As shown in the figure(a) below, the shoulder, neck, armhole, chest, and waist should all be taken in the same way as in a regular kurti.
• The width of the flare at the bottom of an a-line kurti is more; it can be adjusted up to 18-20″ as per your preference.
• If you want to have a lower cut in the front than to cut the front and back parts separately.
• Make the back cut on the folded side, and the front cut on the other side 1.5″ longer.
• If you want to place a separate strip in the front cut, leave 0.5″ extra.
• Firstly, for the chest measurement, take 1/4 of the chest and add 2″ to that.
  • Chest = 36″/4 = 9″+2 = 11″
• Secondly, for the waist measurement, take 1/4 of the waist and add 2″ to that.
  • Waist = 32″/4 = 8″+2 = 10″
• Make a 2″ bend where you want the flare at the bottom.

• You can take anything from +2″ and +1.5″ in the chest and waist, keeping a margin as you wish, as explained in figure(b).
• But mainly, the chest and waist measurements are the same for the front and back sides.
• As marked in figure(b) below, make a 10-12″ cut from the bottom in the front.
• A 10-12″ cut can also be placed from the bottom to the side.
• In an A-line kurti, a line is drawn from the waist down to the flare on the side, which is known as the A-line cut.

• Now we will see how to cut fabric.
• Back side cutting is done on the folded side, while front side is done on the other side of the fabric, as shown in figure(c).
