Thanks for your reply. Do u know any shops in chennai where i can go and buy these books for churidhar cuttings

I don't know any shops where it is available. If you are really interested, I suggest you order it online.

Okay. Have u bought any books of these from this site? If so will it be useful for cutting dresses with the help of these pattern patterns.

Hi SHivani,
I do not have any books with paper cuttings. Also I have not ordered any from this website. Since you were very keen, I suggested to you. Perhaps you can give it a try if it suits you (as the cost is also not very high).

All the best.

Hi Shivani..
Artvanis thread has detailed info on making one yourself why dont you check this blog Vani's blog

I have already done that. However measurements is making me a mess. so i thought that will be easy by placing the readymade patterns and cutting will help.

just have a look at this for measurements

I will tell you one easy way. Get one blouse with good fitting .Remove the stitches carefully. separate the parts.Pin these parts on a brown paper and cut the shapes all around.use them as ready made pattern pieces.This will be your custom made pattern pieces.
