Dupatta Gilet
By Nachiket Barve, fashion designer
You will need
A georgette dupatta, fabric-cutting scissors, tailor’s chalk, measuring tape, tacking pins, ribbon finishing trim, sewing needle, thread
How to
- Use the chalk to
mark the centre of the dupatta.
From the woven end, mark 10”
down. On either side of the centre line, mark 8”. At the point where the 8” mark
and 10” mark meet, draw an 8” line. - Shape an oval keeping the 8” line in the centre to
use as the armhole. Fold on the
line and tack both the layers with pins to hold in place. Cut along the oval line; follow the same for the other armhole. - Place the ribbon
finishing trim along the newly
cut armhole and stitch to form a
piped edge. Use it as a coloured
layer.
