Choli Cut Blouse is versatile and can be customized to your style. Whether you’re going for a casual or formal
look, enjoy creating your unique blouse.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to cut and stitch a choli blouse:
1 Measurements and Drafting
• Begin by taking accurate measurements of your bust, waist, and armhole. These measurements will guide
you in creating the blouse pattern.
• Draft the choli blouse pattern on paper. You’ll need a front piece, a back piece, and sleeve patterns.
2 Cutting the Fabric
• Place the fabric (usually silk, cotton, or other suitable material) on a flat surface.

• Cut the front and back pieces according to your pattern, ensuring seam allowances are included.
• Cut the sleeve pieces as well.
3 Stitching the Blouse
• Sew the front and back pieces together at the shoulders, right sides facing each other.
• Attach the sleeves to the armholes, matching the curves.
• Sew the side seams from the bottom hem to the underarm.

• Finish the neckline and armhole edges with bias binding or facing.
• Add darts if needed for a better fit.
4 Finishing Touches
• Hem the bottom edge of the blouse.

• Attach hooks and eyes or buttons at the back for closure.
• Embellish the blouse with embroidery, sequins, or other decorative elements if desired.
