🎥 Who is this for?
This tutorial is ideal for women tailors in India (especially Tamil-speaking), hobbyists, and small business dress-makers who want to sharpen their skills in blouse construction. If you sew for yourself, your clients or small orders, this video will help you improve precision and finish.

🧵 Why this method matters:
Princess-cut blouses create a sleek, fitted look by shaping the front panel with seams rather than bulky darts. When marked and cut correctly, your blouse front fits smoothly across bust and flows nicely into waist/hip shaping. The accuracy of the marking and cutting stage sets the tone for a professional finish.
