Hip contouring/ Knee tightening technique for a fitted dress

[@tellaabosede4918]

Thanks for this selfless work ma. My question is when sewing it on the machine, are we going to use the same measurement? E.g like on the kneel we removed 1inch from the hip measurement and 1and half for helm. If my hip is 36 and I divide it by 2 that is 18 and am I going to use 17 on the kneel and 16and half on the helm while sewing? That is my question ma.

[@sheilabenson6122]

That’s a great way to explain it. Thanks - 💗. Very pretty!

[@oreoluwaoluyen3740]

if I only have 1 inch for zip allowance, how many inches should I remove from the waist and knee line?

[@blessinguhala5106]

Well explained, thanks for the video. But I want to ask, when sewing the zip allowance, u sewed in 2 inches from waist to hem or u sewed what was left after contouring?

[@abujatailor]

Yes, sew the 2 , make sure it follows the shape you drafted

Please when fixing the zipper how many inches do I leave after contouring it

[@adefunkemohammed4262]

Thanks for the video, well understood. Pls my question is, at the upper part of the dress I.e the half length of the back piece, is there any need to remove the ½inche from the zipper allowance before joining the bodices?

[@abujatailor]

Yes, that's the right way of cutting back bodice

[@adefunkemohammed4262]

[@miimiymiimiy8356]

Thank u for this.... But ma am Abit confuse here.... After contouring during cutting...when sewing how many inches should I remove for the zip allowance I mean from waist, hip, kneel length and full length.... please am Abit confuse on that joining part.... Thanks

[@adedoyingrace4534]

Thanks for the tutorial ma, God bless you in Jesus name.. How many inches did you leave as zip allowance? After you removed the half inch at the waist line, how many inches did you now use to join the zip

[@nwammaobi4092]

I have taken the front seat😊😊 thanks for the tutorial and all you do. My question is, is there any need to replace the one inch you removed at the waist at the side seams, If for instance I use one inch seam allowance do I need to replace the contouring at the waist. Thank you.

[@abujatailor]

No, pls Just the way , I don't replace the half inch taking at the zip allowance of a back bodice, no need!

[@nwammaobi4092]

@@abujatailor wow, thank you for the quick response, but you see the thing is you usually add 2inches side seam allowance, does it not make up for it. Hmmm I will practice it and let you know the outcome. Tried your bishop collar illustration and it came out perfect. Thank you.

[@abujatailor]

@@nwammaobi4092 you're most welcome, trust me, anything I teach you , it's what I do on a daily basis.... so relax and practice it and give me feedback!

[@miimiymiimiy7267]

Thank u so much for this.... But my question is.... If I sew in 2 inches from the zip allowance to the Hem won't it reduce the side seam sewing allowance which is normally 2 inches.. or do u advice I add more extra inch to complete what is been deducted.... Please help help me throw more light on that ma... Plz

[@faiyetole5802]

Zip allowance has nothing to do with side se

Thank you Please how can I make the waist to hip part really snatched without getting a bulge?

[@oluwabunmi7588]

Pls can u draft on pattern paper pls

[@slrcouture]

I love your videos but I wish you would do some tutorials using the pattern method without seam allowance for a clear view and understanding. I've always known to remove 5-6 inches from the hip measurement for the knee measurement for a pencil look. Why did you only remove 1 inch?

[@abujatailor]

I chose my method of cutting because it's very much easier and convenient for me , I deal with lots of clients on a daily basis( different shape and body size).... i can't afford the luxury of time to be making patterns for each and everyone one of them, or grading the pattern to suit individual......not 🤔 even when they will not be willing to come for fittings (they believe your dress should fit, without fitting if you know what you're doing)..... that brings me to my method; which enables me to cut and sew without any fittings within the shortest time and it always comes perfect without any alterations or adjustments..... 99% of the times in all of these , I will suggest you stick to what works for you ....

[@adedoyingrace4534]

Good afternoon ma.. You didn't add the 2 inches allowance you added to the waist and hip to the knee line and the hem of the skirt

[@abujatailor]

I measured what's on the hip line and minus 1, and I put it on the knee... this means the allowance on the hip is already included in the measurement I put at the knee.... Watch and practice exactly what I teach you

[@adedoyingrace4534]

@@abujatailor ohh.. Thank you ma

[@uchechiuzodinma6980]

Thank you for this tutorial ma. Please if our skirt is stopping just at the kneel, should we minus 1" from the hip measurement or 1.5 since the skirt is stopping at the kneel which is also the hem?
