Dear Readers,

Here is the Dhoti Pant / Dhoti Salwar / Cowl Pant tutorial as promised.

I have stitched this Dhoti Pant for my Daughter (4.5 yrs); and hence in the picture the tape measures will be relevant to her measurements. Please see the overview draft picture and register the draft with your measurements and then go to the fabric folding and cutting part.

For my Daughter these are measurements i have used

Seat round = 20 inches
inner leg seam length = 14 inches
Total crotch depth = 8 inches
Crotch depth on leg piece = 4.5 inches
waistband height = 3.5 inches + 1 1/4 inch
Waistband width = 24 + 1 inch for seam allowance; I have used single piece with one seam, using the seam joint as Center Back of waist band; you can have waistband in 2 pieces and hence will have 2 seams one each for center front & center back or you may even use them at sides.

Fabric required

For Adults - 2.5 to 3 metres of 44 inch width fabric
For kids - 1 - 1.5 metre of 22 inches of fabric width (44 inch may overwhelm tinty tots <= 6 years; above 7 you can try with full 44 inch width fabric)

Bling Bling Bling!!! Yes kameez with sequins work all through the front side of the kameez. This must make it to the list of fasttrack projects i had done so far. 4 hours in total to finish the complete outfit. Hope it fits well. This one is for my sister. She gave it to me yesterday night.

Outfit has Patch work detail in front and Back. Go figure it out in the front neck, its very delicate. Did you find it out?

Bling Detail

Now do you all agree to the title of the Post ...Ding Ding!! Bling Bling!!

 Patch at the Back Neckline

Kameez with Shawl a.k.a Dupatta

Bottom is Gathered Salwar with lot of pleats to add volume to slender body frame (we are actually blessed with slender frames, though people pass comments on being lean, i guess its advantage to be lean, coz you can wear anything and carry it off well!!!! )

Can you see How it drapes due to pleats?!

Action Shot - Excuse my daughter, as she wouldn't budge!?
