Basic step by step men's shirt layout

** _______ Here I am using a step by step approach for describing basic steps for men's shirt layout,although it was not easy for me that's why I am sharing it at weekend after practicing it for many times! Let's start! ![IMG20241115134950_00.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNjK3Xy5agSeJzCyYDFsvWpw8EjPdznNnQu3bAmic5sr1/IMG20241115134950_00.jpg) **Step 1: Draw Center Front Rectangle** I simply take a paper and I draw vertical line at cardboard and my first step was to make a rectangle (4 cornered square) and label corners of rectangle with points ABCD. **Step 2: Measure Chest Circumference** In my second step J measure 1 by 4th of over all circumference of chest by starting my measurement from top of rectangle I made and then I added two centimetres by drawing a horizontal line. ![IMG20241115135311_00.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXzSKVWDBeu3xEvje75ojYuNWXpEci5c3CS3rrqFXwsNH/IMG20241115135311_00.jpg) **Step 3: Measure Neck Circumference** After that it was the time to measure 1 by 6th of overall circumference of neck. After that I minus 1 cm to give it an allowance.after doing that it was the time to draw curve the line starting from point A and moving towards D. **Step 4: Define Chest and Neck** You can clearly see in the picture I have shared that where is point a and where is point b so if we combine both of them then it will be AB point so from that point we need to take measurement of 1 by 6 of circumference of neck. After that we will give around 2 cm allowance and will mark that specific point. ![IMG20241115135823_00.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmfVKarxk2ohKNWAe22yE5KCahfYioLXi4YmMMjZxrahXh/IMG20241115135823_00.jpg)|![IMG20241115140323_00.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdGhqfsAKw9Q6QSZqKndaTHhf4cwZndstjvyT6AvvfhqA/IMG20241115140323_00.jpg) --|--- **Step 5: Determine Back Width** Now this is a time of measurement of 1/2 of width of back from AB points. **Step 6: Create Shoulder** Next step was for creating shoulder in which you can see that from line number 5 I have measured around 1 cm and by keeping in mind the intersection I draw a straight line. ![IMG20241115140323_00.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdGhqfsAKw9Q6QSZqKndaTHhf4cwZndstjvyT6AvvfhqA/IMG20241115140323_00.jpg)|![IMG20241115140609_00.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRtM5aMbmb5BRz3Vera6tx3EDdp3daqstupZTqiHpNXJp/IMG20241115140609_00.jpg) ---|--- **Step 7: Define Armhole** Now you can see that there is line number 8 from which I take a measurement of 1 cm towards down so that I make create a curve. **Step 8: Define Drop Shoulder** This is really very important to define drop shoulder so for this purpose I have drawn straight line for meeting intersection of arm hole curve. **Step 9: Create Slant** I need to create a slant now so for that purpose I keep in mind seed so that I may take measurement of 1/2 for creation of curve line. ![IMG20241115140623_00.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmeTi2CPRu85njYXZa4oURgS75Aib1QiaM8dUTbwvDgzeW/IMG20241115140623_00.jpg) **Step 10: Add Pocket** For adding pocket I measured a distance of 3 cm from line number 5 and 10 cm from length side. **Step 11: Add Button Allowance** It is always important to add button allowance so so this purpose I have added 3 cm folding from point a to b. **Step 12: Verify Fit** After that this is last step of verification in which I verified that this front layout seems to be fine or not so it seems fine to me by following step by step procedure. ![IMG20241115141635_00.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXiZeCwA2SY41L6xnNYE4dDWqnU8YCb2DdzPi16yoDamh/IMG20241115141635_00.jpg) **Common measurements** - Circumference of chest: 1/4 + 2cm - Circumference of neck: 1/6 - 1cm - Width of back: 1/2 - Shoulder: 1cm from line 5 - Armhole: 1cm down from line 8 So that was all about basic steps for making basic layout for men's front of shirt. ---------- **
