ReplyDelete@Durga . 2 piece for 2 legs. folding vertically one piece make one leg.
ReplyDeleteMeasurement Your height from waist minus waist band height
there is something wrong with the 1-4 of the sleeve drawing. I think it should be 1/2 ( half) sleeve width plus 1".
ReplyDeletePerfect measurement is 1/4 chest - 1.3 or else measure 1/2 width of the sleeve + 1 cm not 1"
ReplyDeletehi! I did not understand the salwar measurement 5 to 6 - 4"-3.5" or 6"-5.5" or 2"-1 .5" (According to 0 to 1 measurement)as 6 is not marked on the pattern. pls explain.
