I have been making gowns/clothes etc for over 60 years, I have always relied on shop bought patterns, I always thought it was too difficult to draft my own, the big names make it look harder. On finding these tutorials it has proved that it is easier to draft your own rather than cutting out and altering the shop bought patterns! Thank you for showing us how easy it is, your bustier looks just as beautiful and well made as the top name patterns, so no more buying patterns for me, I love drafting my own patterns now 😍😍.
