Formulas in Details

• Skirt length: 50 cm
• Skirt-waistband: 50 cm – 47 cm = 3 cm
• Skirt hip length: 20 cm – 3 cm = 17 cm for a hip line
• Waist circumference: 80 cm / 4 = 20 cm 
• Waist circumference + dart-intake: 20 cm + 3 cm = 23 cm
• Hip circumference: 106 cm / 4 = 26.5 cm
• Skirt hem: 26.5 cm + 6 = 32.5 cm

Internal Line Data/Formulas for Skirt Block

• A waist-curve line (1.25 cm) from the top
• A hip line (20 – 3 = 17 cm) from the top
• A dart line (8.5 cm) from the center back
• A hem-curve line (1.5 cm) from the bottom
• Dart arms total (3 cm)
• Dart length (hip line 17 – 5 = 12 cm) 
• Hem line (3 cm) from base line
• Zipper notch length (16 cm) from waist-curve line

Pattern-making Terms: 1) waist-curve line means a line that decreases from the center waist to make the curve, and 2) hem-curve line means a line that decreases from the base to make the curve (see the images below).  Notes: recommend seam allowances: waist: 1.25 cm, center back: 2.5 cm, side seam: 2.5 cm, and skirt hem: 3 cm.

How to Change the Avatar Size in CLO3D

Avatar Tips: Key points about selecting the avatar size for your skirt. Since this video is about drafting the skirt for yourself, we want to see how the skirt fits on the avatar before printing the pattern in PDF format. We just want to see an approximate fit.

Three Important Points for Selecting the Avatar Size

1. Your heigh
2. You waist circumference
3. Your hip circumference

For example, my Total Height is 150 cm, and compare to the size chart for a Petite size chart is 158.75 cm (see the size chart and alvanon.com link below).

Similar to my waist and my hip circumferences: My waist circumference is 80 cm and the Petite Curvy Size 12 is 79.25 cm. My hip circumference is 106 cm and the Petite Curvy Size 12 is 106 cm.

Note: this is just an approximately fitting for this do-it-yourself aline skirt if you want to turn this into a perfect fit for manufacture. Be sure to produce several samples to get the perfect fit that meets your need. You can purchase this A-line Skirt CLO3D Project via the Gumroad link.
