Video Transcript

"In the last clip, we cut the front of the unitard. The inseam at thirty-six inches and the top to the top of the fabric. Now we're going to cut the back of the unitard. I already know that it's twenty-four inches wide which is the dimension of my inseam. So I set it at thirty-six inches and that's that point right there. My ankle is eleven inches around. I could show you. There it is, eleven inches. And there's eleven inches, so I'll mark that point. And now I go back and show myself a line of thirty-six inches long. And that will be the back of the unitard. And I cut the back at thirty-six inches. Remember this is two more inches than my actual, four more inches than my actual inseam so I have some extra. Now what is the, this is the tricky part. I know that my waist is thirty-four inches. So divide thirty-four in half and that comes to seventeen. So I'm going to bring it in a little bit. Now I have some luxury because it's a stretchy material. I bring it in a little bit. Now I know my chest is forty-two and a half inches, but I want an open back, so there's the open back. And now I want a tab there. There's my tab. So I have it all cut out except for the sleeves."
