How to cut cheongsam

The cutting method of cheongsam is as follows:

1. Draw a big box: draw a rectangle with hip circumference distance and clothing length more than half respectively, and find the suitable position on the rectangle. The adaptive position of rectangle from top to bottom is H line, and the position of W is H line. These three positions are made into horizontal lines respectively. On the horizontal line of H, the adaptive length is measured from both sides, and the vertical line is made from these two points respectively. The adaptive length of the back width line is measured from the left on the rectangle to make a B line.

2. Outer contour line: the amount of back collar /5 is collar width, collar depth is adaptive length, the amount of front collar /5 is collar width, and collar depth is collar /5+0.5. The back shoulder is connected and extended at the back width line to find the position of shoulder /2, and the front shoulder is connected and extended at the front width line, and the armholes with the same length as the back shoulder are on both sides of the B line respectively.

3. Waist: The width of the province is the adaptive length, which is the same before and after, and the province is drawn at the midpoint of the front and back waist respectively.

4. Splicing the outer tulle: Take down the lower part from the position of the H line, divide and expand it, and connect it into a smooth curve.

5. Drawing of the collar: Take half of the collar and the adapted length to make a rectangle, the middle position of the collar is downward adapted to the length, find the middle point in front, and take the key point as the position of the collar tip to draw an arc to make a satisfactory vertical collar shape.

6. Draw sleeves: find the corresponding point on the right side of the cross and measure the corresponding amount of the front face on the vertical line, and measure the corresponding length from the intersection of the front face and the vertical line to the horizontal line, and the vertical line takes the sleeve length. At the end of the sleeve length, connect the sleeve width with the upper point, and repair the sleeve side seam into a smooth curve. Take an appropriate amount on the middle vertical line and connect the cuffs into a smooth curve. The armhole arc is divided into three parts on the left, protruding from the upper third, and divided into four parts on the right.
