How to Perfectly Contour your Pattern to Snatch the Waist, Contour the Butt and Knee using a Zip 

Obviously the front waist is longer than the back waist, and that will make the front pattern longer during drafting, but once you put the side dart and stitch up the side dart, it will make the length of the front equal to that of the back pattern.

Yes, it can

I either use the sewing allowance I left while cutting to close up the side seams or I divide each round measurements by 2 and I will get the midpoint of what I got on my tape measure and go ahead to place it on the cb/center of the zip to mark out on both sides… here’s a video to explain better what I just wrote👇🏽 Easy DIY: How to Shape a dress to fit Perfectly / Outfit fitting ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZbEr_bbI-yw.html I always get a perfect fit with either of these methods, and always make sure your measurements are correct 💯

Ok I have done that so the person is yet to wear.

Nice one💯, and Do iron and after ironing, measure the outfit from side to side..and it should correspond to the measurements you took…and this is the final stage before your client fits-in the outfit💯

Ok . But would there be More space at the bust and hip after shaping

@@rubymac207 no, the measurements would be the same as the one you took

So I got 2.5inches right, after which I subtracted the 1” I went in with on the center back( so 2.5 - 1 = 1.5”) , so since I’m left with 1.5” , I divide the 1.5 by 2 which gave me 0.75” and I marked the 0.75” on the both knee patterns as my contour…. So what did you get after calculating and subtracting the 1” you went in with on your center back???

Yes it’s a constant

To get the side dart, simply subtract the back waist length from the front waist length OR You can simply use the general knowledge of “medium sizes uses 1.5inches as the side dart, while plus sizes uses 2inches as the side dart “

Will try this out and give you feedback

Will love to see it ❤️
