Umbrella Flare Lehenga Cutting

Earlier, we learned the umbrella flare palazzo pant & umbrella skirt cutting.
Now we will learn about the umbrella flare lehenga cutting.
Here we are going to learn an easy method for umbrella flare lehenga cutting with the body measurements.
This requires 3.25-3.5m of 42″ wide fabric.

Required Measurements For Umbrella Flare Lehenga 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

Method:

• Firstly, fold the fabric in 2 folds.

Steps with the figure:

• Let’s take an example with measurements as given below:
  • Length: 40″
  • Waist: 34″
• Do the cutting of the same length as the lehenga is to be made.
• Because as much as the part of the belt comes up, the fabric is bent down.
• If you want to keep a fixed measurement in the belt waist, you have to put a zip in the side of the lehenga and if kept loose, it can be done without a zip.
• For keeping the fixed belt, take 1/2 of the waist & add 2″ to that.
  • Fix Belt = 34″/2 = 17″+2 = 19″
• For keeping a loose belt, take 1/2 of the waist & add 5″ to that.
  • Loos Belt = 34″/2 = 17″+5 = 22″
• Here we will see the cutting of the lehenga according to the fixed belt i.e. 19″ belt.
• Then make a fold from the corner and fold it into a triangle so the fabric will form 2 folds.
• As shown in the figure, take 1/4 of the waist & add 1″ to the triangle side.
  • Measurement = 34″/4 = 8.5″+1 = 9.5″
• From where we want to fit the belt, the length is to be 40″, and all the space in the round is to be 40″.
• In the cutting of the umbrella lehenga, whenever the length is more, then join the triangle in the side.

• The cutting of the belt has to be done from the fabric left in the side and the belt will be 38*4.
• If we cut the folded part of the belt, it will be 19*4.
• In this way, a single umbrella flare lehenga is made when the umbrella flare is done.
• 5.5m of fabric is required to make a double umbrella flare.
• The cutting of the belt remains as it is.
• In a double flare, the waist cut is half of the single i.e. 9.5″ half 4.75″.
• Even in fabric, 4 folds are to be taken instead of 2 folds of fabric.

Objectives:

• A saree can also be used to make an umbrella flare lehenga.
• Making a lehenga out of a saree requires a 2.5m lining of 36″ width.
• Cotton or poplin fabric is used in lehengas to wear in Navratri & they don’t require lining.
• As this fabric is thick, mirror work, kutchi work, or lace strip can be easily applied to it.

• I hope this method of umbrella flare lehenga cutting helped you.
