My God!!! This is so explicit.. Thank you so much for this. Am in my 50s and I have spent so much money in getting to learn pattern drafting, I keep getting disappointed. God bless you dear ❤
You are a very good teacher may God richly bless you may your Labour yield fruits a hundred fold maa thank you for not being selfish with information ❤
Thank you so much for the lovely detailed tutorial. I loved it. But if you do not want a very fitted bodice for a slightly loose dress, how much ease would you leave? Also do you add the ease in your body measurements or add it later?
I have 2 questions. How do you know by how much to slant the shoulder to get a good fit? Some people go 1 inch, half an inch etc. Same question for creating arm curve, I've seen some go in by 1/4 inch, 3/4 inches to the back. Thanks. Very easy and clear tutorial watching from Trinidad and 🇹🇹
Well, it depends on the body structure of an average person in a geographical location, even within an area, it can still vary, but not enough to cause a fitting issue. If you want to be exactly accurate, your best bet is to create a toile, then alter the pattern for that individual if you experience any fitting issues.
Thank you so much for this tutorial using our own measurements. I have a question. I have fat arms, and I struggle with clothes fitting fine on my torso but tight on my arms. In that case, would I have to make the arm holes of my bodice bigger to accommodate a wider sleeve?
Try using your half of your shoulder width or the formula in this video to construct your armhole, see how it fits and you can then adjust your subsequent patterns.
Well done ma, Thank you so much for the tutorial but I have 2 questions. 1. the formula I use to get the chest line is BURST DIVIDED BY 6 PLUS 1.5; and i place it from the slope not from the margin/start line. Is this wrong? 2. how do i manipulate the lenght of a dress or blouse that has a cut at the waist (half lenght), since the front half lenght is more than the back. What do I do to the remaining part of the dress or blouse?
By using dart manipulation. I don't have a tutorial on that here. But you type it out on the search bar, I'm sure a couple of nice tutorials on dart manipulation would pop up.
This patterns front and back side seams are un matching. Because, front part side seam dart length not add this front side length. Am I correct or wrong??
Please, watch the video on how to take accurate body measurement on my channel, The width of the bust dart is the difference between the half lengths of the front and back.
