    The key takeaways from the passage are how to draft a basic sari blouse pattern with waistline darts and the significance of having a basic bodice pattern.

    The measurements needed to draft the basic sari blouse pattern are shoulder measurement, armscye depth, front and back neck depths, bust circumference, waist circumference, bust point, and waist length.

    The steps to draft the front part are: 1) square down center front and shoulder lines, 2) square armscye depth, 3) draw front armhole shape, 4) square waist line, 5) mark dart, 6) join armscye depth and waist lines, 7) draw front neckline, and 8) cut out pattern.

    Basic Pattern for Sari Blouse

    This sari blouse pattern is with waistline darts. As it is named, it is the most basic
    pattern for a sari blouse. Hence, the pattern is without waistband or any other cuts.
    Even though this pattern looks similar to the basic sloper, it is slightly different in its fit.
    Lets start with the measurements.
    Measurements Needed:
    Shoulder Measurement:
    Taken between two shoulder ends or nape of the neck to one shoulder end and doubled.
    When neckline depth is more than 1/6th of the bust round, shoulder measurement is
    taken about 3cm to 4cm less on each side.

    Armscye Depth or Armhole Depth:
    Taken by direct measurement or calculated from the Bust Circumference.
    It is the best to measure the armscye depth directly on the body for accurate
    measurement. It is measured straight from the shoulder end to about an inch below
    the armpit. Armscye depth varies from 13cm 18cm (or about 5 inch 7 inch) in the
    increasing order from the small sizes to the larger ones.
    Armscye depth can be calculated from the bust circumference in many of the ways by
    different dressmakers for different outfits.
    For a sari blouse, following calculation is found to be the best.
    1/6
    th
    of Bust Circumference

    Front & Back Neck depths:
    Taken directly on the body or taken from an existing garment.
    Bust Circumference:
    Taken around the fullest part of the bust.
    Waist Circumference:
    Taken around the navel point.
    Bust Point or Pivot Point:
    Taken straight down the shoulder to the bust point.
    Waist Length:
    Taken from the nape of the neck to the desired length of the blouse.
