TAKING YOUR MEASUREMENTS

Step one To establish the width (W) of the rectangles, take your bust or hip measurement (whichever is the fullest). Add 11in to this measurement then divide it by two.

Step two To establish the length (L) of your rectangles, measure from the base of your neck to your ankle and add 1in.

CUTTING OUT

Step one Cut two rectangles that measure WxL.

Remove a 2in strip from the long edge of one of these rectangles and set this strip aside, this will be used to create the Waist Tie later on in the making process.
