Princess Line Directed From Neckline

• Go for darted sari blouse patterns: If you’ve selected raglan style for making princess line blouse then your first requirement is to go for darted sari blouse patterns
• Create back & front patterns: For this you’ll have to make paper patterns of both back and front bodices for a darted raglan style sari blouse
• Create seam: This pattern will also feature seam allowances. First cut off all the dart lines and then cut the waistline darts towards necklines

Back Bodice Pattern For Princess Line

• Create two parts: Back bodice is quite easy to obtain. All you need is to just cut off the extra dart allowance and separate the two parts
• Create the princess line: Now take the impressions on another pattern paper while adding seam allowance at the dart line so as to create the princess line
• Shape the neckline: Now mark the notches for joining and grains for cutting
• Take the front bodice pattern: For this you’ll have to stick all the darts except the waist line dart
• Create dart manipulation: The pattern you’ve create will now result in a 3-dimensional structure. This process of transferring darts from one place to the other is technically known as dart manipulation
• Trace the outlines: Now after getting the 3D structure, press the pattern over a pattern paper and traced the outlines
• Obtain the princess line: Since the darts are now manipulated into a seam line, you’ll now obtain your princess line
• Shape the neckline: Add seam allowance to the freshly cut princess seam and shape the neckline
