Fill in the first set of values for the basic skirt builder.
Important fit note
Patterns generated by Nastix Patterns are drafting guides based on your measurements and selected settings.
We strongly recommend making a test version (muslin / toile) and checking the fit before cutting final fabric.
Different fabrics, body proportions, and sewing preferences may require manual adjustments.
Measurement tips
Waist
Measure around the natural waistline. Keep the tape level and close to the body, but not tight.
Hips
Measure around the fullest part of the hips and seat. This is usually lower than the waistline.
Waist to hip
Measure vertically from the waistline down to the fullest hip level.
Length
Measure vertically from the waistline down to the desired hem position.
Before generating
How these inputs affect this pattern
Use the notes below to understand which measurements shape the draft, which options change construction, and what should be measured again when values conflict. Presets are starting points; the submitted values drive the result.
Waist, hips, hip depth and skirt length
Waist controls the finished upper edge, hips and ease establish the body width, waist-to-hip depth positions the fullest level, and length places the hem. All four should be measured without adding manual ease.
Side shaping and one or two back darts
The waist reduction is divided between both side seams, the front dart, and the selected back-dart arrangement. Pronounced shaping changes the curve distribution for a larger waist-to-hip difference.
