Dear Vani,
I saw your blog and appreciate you effort. I want to stitch a patiala salwar. your blog has helped me.

Now I when i did the draft I am getting confuse with the E-F point. It says f.L-W.B +2.5". The main confusion is whether to consider the waistband length with the extra 2 inches or not (that is A-C= seat/6 +2)

Kindly help me
Regards,
Manjula.R

Mam, Thank you so much. Today I stitched patiala shalwar, it i came out well, but the pleats are not very close and more, is it becos I used old saree for trying it out for fist time, which has only less panna. I excluded borders as well
