Let me start with the skirt, firstly I fold my material by two measure out the length, hip and waist then I cut it out that's for the front part, and to cut the back,I still fold my material by two and place the front part on it and give out a two inches allowance for my zip and slitting at the back of the skirt.

Then I proceed to cut the bubu top by measuring out the full length, measure out the neck lines, the length and width is same measurements and for the back I give out one inches allowance for zip, then I used my ruler and chalk to trace it out before cutting.
