How to make your own Tops, Kameez or tunic? Measurements and Patterns.


We all love beautiful dresses that make us look beautiful. But, if you make them yourself, that will be more enjoyable. In this article we will discuss how to take measurements, choosing material and construct garments.

1st have your body measurements recorded which will be base of your dress making. To take your body measurements you need a measuring tape and a person who will measure the lengths.

Before taking the measurements, you need to know which parts of your body should be measured. In the body measurement the following parts should be taken in consideration- Shoulder, Chest, Waist, Hip, Arm Hole, Neck,  Sleeve Length, Trouser Length, Shirt / Tunic Length.

To get the measurement of someone’s shoulder, measure the distance of the two bones at the shoulder ends. This distance is usually 14 to 16 inches. 
Now note the distance vertically just half of the shoulder length, it is your chest position. Measure your chest size by wrapping the tape along the breasts (horizontally) at their fullest part. This size is usually 35 to 38 inches. 
Now get the position of your waist by placing the tape vertically from the shoulder which usually ranges from 13.5 to 15.5 inches. At this waist point, wrap the tape as you did for chest measurement. Note your waist circumference. 
Your hip line is just 6 to 7 inches down from the waist line. Note your hipline position from the waistline and get your hip circumference as previous measurements.
Now note the top length from your shoulder and note that your top’s bottom width will be 3-4 inches plus your hip size. 
To get your trouser size get the distance from your waist line to the feet or as you wish.
Sleeve length will be the length from the shoulder and the hem and the neck size shoulder is the distance between two edges of neck on the shoulder. 

The depth of the neck is measured from the edge of the neck from shoulder and the vertical line along middle of the chest which is usually 7 inches depth. 

Spread your hand horizontally and measure the circumference of the circle between your armpit and shoulder. Always keep in mind that place your finger just between your skin and the measuring tape for the accurate measurements. Now note attentively the vertical positions and horizontal circumference measurements which will be your pattern base.

Pattern on Paper:
To make the pattern of your dress according to your body size, take a wider sheet of paper and fold it along the long side. Now you get the folded page one side open and other side closed. Place the folded paper sheet on the table such a way that the closed side is nearest to you, i.e. along the table edge. Now from the measurement note book first draw a half inch line as a reference line at any side along the width of the paper. On this line, point the length just half of shoulder. Now move towards the length of the paper at a equal length of half shoulder, point it out. From this point draw a vertical line and from the bottom of this line point the length just half of the chest length +1 inch; this is your chest part of the cloth. Now from the same reference line point out the waist, hip and length distance and get the measurements of respective parts by just half of the measurements plus 1 inch. Now by a shape card scale joint the points and you will get the pattern for your tunic or Kameez. Note that you need cut the cloth at distance of one inch from the original pattern size for sewing. So enjoy your own Tunic, Kameez, Tops made by you.

Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC): Reach your customers everywhere


Once upon a time publicity for business expansion was made on news paper or local announcement through a mic. But presently marketing communication is not restricted within the above media; it is defined as the composition of possible all media exposure and activities. Now a days, advertising is not enough for establishing a brand and the package of all media exposures added with various activities defined as integrated marketing communication or IMC.

For IMC, a communication strategy is developed first; then according to that strategy a brand communication is done. IMC is composed with ATL & BTL.

ATL or above the line communication defines the publicity to reach mass; i.e. the news paper, TV or Radio. That is why ATL is always expensive for the advertisers.

But BTL or below the line activities are not expensive a lot as they target very selective area or people to establish the brand name. Local trade fairs, local sponsorship, locally demonstration of a product etc. are examples of BTL activities.

Other components of IMC are Out Of Home (OOH) media, interactive media, Internet, Public relations (PR) etc.

OOH media are billboards, kiosks, bus branding, giant balloons etc. which we may see beside roads and highways. Interactive media are supposed to be very personal or not massive exposure at a time but very powerful medium for communication. Advertising through CD, DVD’s in any format are the example of interactive media exposure.  Internet or web medium is another powerful medium for brand communication. Many advertising websites are playing vital roles for category based brand communication. But Google is the role player of web based advertising through their networks. Google publishes precise category web ads on a web page depending on its web content. Suppose, you have a website for beauty care tips, Google will display all possible ads for beauty care services and products on that page through your Google ad sense codes. Thus the advertisers reach their specific customers or prospects. Face book is another powerful web place to advertise for reaching customers or prospects from a particular place or community. Suppose, you need to expose your business offer to Indian people or community, you may just select India to publish your ads and only people or community from India will be exposed to your ads. Main advantage of most web based advertising net works is publicity costing that depends on pay per click (PPC) or cost per thousand (CPM) based, so you have to pay only how much you are clicked or exposed. Public relation or PR reflects the company’s image to the customers or prospect. Usually PR activities include free write up on news papers or websites or blogs for a brand or company’s activities or offer etc.

At last, the IMC strategy must follow the marketing objectives and be executed accordingly to establish a brand. With IMC, you may reach all places where your customers are. The basic advantage of IMC is reiterating your brand name to the prospects or customer through various media that they may never forget the brand name and decide to purchase the brand and get loyalty.
