Palazzo pant cutting with body measurement

Here we are going to learn an easy method for ladies’ palazzo pant cutting with the body measurements.
First of all, take a soft(e.g. rayon, silk, etc.) fabric to make a comfortable palazzo.
Secondly, for making regular palazzo pant, we will take 2.5m of fabric.

Required Measurements For Palazzo Pant Cutting:

Here is the method to take body measurements.

• Full Length – from the waist till the length to be kept
• Waist – all-around measurement in the waist area
• Seat – full rotating measure in part of the seat
• Ankle Round –  measure mori approximately and keep the width loose and according to how much you like
  (note: all measurements need to take in the same way as we have taken for straight pant except for the ankle round)

Method:

• After taking measurements, fold the fabric 2 times, which means 1 fold.
• Here, both the front parts are small and the back parts are large, so the front and back part are cut separately.
• Keeping 1 folded cloth, first, we will cut the front part.

Steps with the figure:

• Let’s take an example with measurements as given below:
  • Length: 38″
  • Waist: 32″
  • Seat: 38″ (1/4 = 9.5″)
  • Ankle round(mori): 24″ to 28″ (1/2 = 12″ to 14″)
• Arrange the fabric in 1 fold for cutting and draw a line 2″ from the top for the elastic.
• Then taking the length, count to bend the border 2″ below the length, as shown in figure(a).
  • Total length = 2″+38″+2″ = 42″
• After that, for the crotch(joro) length, take 1/4 of the seat and add 3″.
  • Crotch(joro) length = 38″/4 = 9.5″+3″
• Then for the width of the seat, take 1/4 of the seat and add 1″.
  • Crotch(joro) width = 38″/4 = 9.5″+1″
• Following the figure(a), make a 2.5″ curve.

• Draw the cutting of the front side first.
• After that, draw the cutting of the back side.
• Then draw the cutting of the back side, increasing it by 3″ after the curve of 2.5″ of the width of the seat.
• As shown in the figure below(b), cut 1/2 of the ankle round(mori) for the front side while adding 1″ more for the back side.
  • Ankle round = 24″/2 = 12″.

• The crotch length on the back side is 2″ higher from the front side, i.e. add 1″ to the back side and reduce 1″ from the front side, as explained in figure(c).
• Since the back side is bigger than the front side, first draw the back side then separate these 2 parts and then draw the front side.
• In this type of cutting, there is no need to take the waist measurement, just take the waist measurement elastic and stitch it in the upper part.

• Elastic is inserted throughout the waist.
• Zip can also be done on the front side, sometimes it is also done on the side part of the palazzo for better fitting.
• The figure is according to the measurements given above.
• The short part is of the front side while the large part is of the back side of the pant.
• All the measurements are given in inches(“).
• Now we are ready to cut the pant according to the points that we have marked.

Other Objectives:

• There are only a few changes in the cutting of palazzo pant from the straight pant.
• Palazzo pant are a bit looser than straight pant.
• Palazzo can be of other variations also like flared palazzo, pleated palazzo, and umbrella flare palazzo, which generally requires 3.5m fabric.
• We can change the size of the length accordingly; for example, if we reduce the length then it becomes a short palazzo.
• One can also make variations in the design for the ankle round pattern.
• This palazzo pant can be paired with straight kurti, kaftan kurti, crop top, angrakha style kurti, tube tops, shirt etc.

Conclusion:

• I hope this method of the ladies’ palazzo pant cutting will help you make a comfortable palazzo.
• In the future, we will learn dhoti pant, simple salwar, simple salwar(part-2) & sharara pant.
