Dear Readers,

Here is the Dhoti Pant / Dhoti Salwar / Cowl Pant tutorial as promised.

I have stitched this Dhoti Pant for my Daughter (4.5 yrs); and hence in the picture the tape measures will be relevant to her measurements. Please see the overview draft picture and register the draft with your measurements and then go to the fabric folding and cutting part.

For my Daughter these are measurements i have used

Seat round = 20 inches
inner leg seam length = 14 inches
Total crotch depth = 8 inches
Crotch depth on leg piece = 4.5 inches
waistband height = 3.5 inches + 1 1/4 inch
Waistband width = 24 + 1 inch for seam allowance; I have used single piece with one seam, using the seam joint as Center Back of waist band; you can have waistband in 2 pieces and hence will have 2 seams one each for center front & center back or you may even use them at sides.

Fabric required

For Adults - 2.5 to 3 metres of 44 inch width fabric
For kids - 1 - 1.5 metre of 22 inches of fabric width (44 inch may overwhelm tinty tots <= 6 years; above 7 you can try with full 44 inch width fabric)

Cowl Drape Built in duppatta

This is for my sister. Our mom got us similar fabrics (in different shades) for Diwali. Somehow managed to sew one for me 10 days back and my sister's this week.

Cowl effect has been built in to the dupatta. The dupatta has been attached with the kameez. Salwar Kameez with Cowl dupatta is ready.

The cowl here is a Pleated Style Cowl and is far better than Plain Cowl i had done earlier in my kameez.

Cowl neck is one of the most exciting and easiest one(actually believe me, i have tried it on skirts, pants and now on dupatta) and you will fall in love with it!

Pant is fully pleated style salwar.

Without further adieu, here are the pics
