    I really find very interesting to this tutorial. I looked many tutorials and the way of teahing is perfect. The problem is in the pattern system technique. I will practice more the techniques that I have learned to improve it. I don't like fittings because sometimes the clients don't have time to check how clothes fit on them. However your tutorial was the best of bodice patterns making.

    Thankyou Illona, the tips on measuring by yourself. I agree that masking tape can be very useful. I have been known to use it , with tissue as a temporary dressing when accidentally stabbing my self when sewing! As it is low tack it causes less damage if removed pronto. As I'm similarly shaped to you I really appreciate the self draft demonstration.

    Omg this is the BEST video I've seen. I actually do have a free torso sloper downloaded and started modifying the first mock up. I just kinda got lost and couldn't find the alterations I needed described anywhere. Coincidently they are the same you needed on your pattern so I finally know what I need to fix and how. Thank you.
    Also if I where to draft this, does it work for C-D cup sizes without FBA?
    Update: tried this technique of drafting but it stopped working for me at lenght a1d +1cm. It was 6cm longer than my shoulder lenght (mine is 11 or 12 cm, it ended up 17cm. Such a shame. I really hoped it would work

    Thank you, Ilona for this video. I'm brand new to sewing and I found you video very easy to follow. I've just created my own bodice block, and while the first mockup isn't perfect its closer than I've gotten before! With a few simple adjustments I should be able to have my perfect fit. Thank you again! Quick question: Does this bodice block pattern accommodate a sleeve? Or do I need to adjust the ease to fit a sleeve in?

      Hi Lissa! For a sway back alteration take a horizontal pie wedge out of the bottom of the centre back to shorten the back without shortening the sides- this should help.

    @rezzacee Рік тому +3

    Hi Ilona, thank you for this super helpful video. I've tried using this and the toile mostly fits really nicely however the shoulder part has gotten really messed up for me at both front and back. My shoulder length is 18cm so according to the instructions my final back shoulder length should be 19cm, but when I join up the points a1 and d2 the back shoulder line is way longer at 22cm! For the front shoulder, the distance between the A2 and A4 also ends up being 16cm on paper, which is shorter than my shoulder length. I've gone over each step again trying to work out where I've gone wrong but can't seem to work out where I've gone wrong, please could you help? I could share my completed spreadsheet with you if you happened to have the time and patience to troubleshoot...

    • @ByIlonaMillinery
      @ByIlonaMillinery  Рік тому +2

      Hello, thanks for getting in touch - gosh it really does sound complicated! I can't help you directly, however I recommend rather than going over your work, you start from the very beginning - including taking your measurements. When I first learnt to pattern draft, I had a very similar problem to what you are describing, and when starting again from scratch I realised I had taken my measurements wrong AND I had entered a number wrong into the formulas. Good luck & I hope you succeed! 😊🧵

    • @sabinaa5333
      @sabinaa5333 Рік тому +5

    Hi ilona! i just finished drafting the pattern but now i see that you also have a dart in the back shoulder area. is that a personal choice after a fitting? is it neccesarry?

    • @ByIlonaMillinery
      @ByIlonaMillinery  6 місяців тому

      Hi Sophie! Yes, it's a personal choice. With this draft, you will find the back shoulder 1cm longer than the front shoulder. This is to accomodate the curve of your upper back.
      You can either ease the back shoulder into the front, or add the dart (the dart goes in the centre of the back shoulder perpendicular to it for 7.5cm)

  • @ejliwanan8805
    @ejliwanan8805 11 місяців тому +6

    This guide is very well made and comprehensive. However at 15:42 when you said that the length between a1 and d should be equal to the shoulder length + 1, you completely lost me, because there was already a 4-5 cm discrepancy. This sort of had a domino effect on everything else from then on, so I just stopped. Which is a shame because it was going so well up until that point.

    • @ByIlonaMillinery
      @ByIlonaMillinery  9 місяців тому

      Hi Isabel, the ease is totally up to you. If you want a loose blousy fit, add more ease. If you want super fitted, the minimum amount is 1cm. I hope this helps 😊🪡

      @@QueenAnon Hello! It's great that you are starting sewing - good luck! 🧵I will add this to my do to list, but I am not sure when I will get round to it. For now, here is some information as to how it would be different: the difference between a "normal" bust in comparison to a "large" bust will be in the centre front length of the front bodice piece, the armscye construction, and also the width along the bust line.

    Hello, how are you? I loved your video, it is true that I measure my body measurements 100 times because I always believe that they have been taken incorrectly when I compare them with a table of measurements, the horizontal measurements are more or less but the vertical measurements are very very different, the problem is that I'm 156 and the rage woman is possibly 168... I don't know if that would be too much of an indiscretion, please feel free to answer, what is your height? that will help me confirm the difference in sizes. Very many Thank you for your excellent work. (sorry, I don't speak English, this is an automatic translation)

    • @ByIlonaMillinery
      @ByIlonaMillinery  18 днів тому +1

      Hey! I understand your struggle! My height is 158cm. But height isn't always an indicator. For example I know that my torso (back waist) measure is very short, but my legs (hip to floor) is average. The best thing is for you to look in the mirror. Are your legs super long, or short or average looking? You can also think about how shop bought clothes fit you. Eg, on me, tops are always too long and bunch up in the back, but trousers are always fine in length.
