I feel very fortunate to have found your channel. You are fantastic and super sweet. after watching each video I am amazed by how smart and good of a teacher you are. Love
Diane .... thank you so much .... can I ask are the shoulders for front and back going to be equal length as my back is slightly shorter about 5mm ... is that because my original shoulder dart was 1.5cm which is what I moved? Thanks Jayne
Hi Diane, could you pls advice on the techniques to apply when sewing with a beaded fabrics. I.e type of needle to use. I will be glad for your quick response.. Regards
I have tried this technique so many times for plus size and something is not right when Get to the armhole. Could it be that the 1.5cm increases with the body measurement.?
Hello Luisa, With this bodice, the armhole change a bit in the front. You must fix the sleeve by enlarging the sleeve about 1 cm. slash the grain line and add parallel, than remove 0.5 on each side of the wrist. Diane
Hello Yashvardhan Singh Chouhan,No you should not remove the value of the dart at the side seam/waist. This block is to be use for shirt or loose fit bodice. I did a draping video showing why you can't remove the darts. ua-cam.com/video/QljWIIwjmnU/v-deo.html Diane
hi, is the right pattern to use on hoodie tracksuit pattern block, do I have to pattern adaptation for tracksuit, also what pattern for the tracksuit bottom with rib waist sleeve how to adjust the pattern to make a tracksuit sewing pattern, kind regards
hello, the waist line of my dartless bodice always ends up below the original waistline at the side seam, is it normal? It seems like I can't close a 4cm shouler dart (with 3cm waistline dart) or even a 3cm shoulder dart (with 4cm at waistline) wthout the side seam finishing below the original one. Should I ajust the measurments of the openings at neck, armhole and shoulder to rectify?
i would like to use this as a pattern for a sweater i'm knitting.only thing,the waist is crazy huge if i leave the waist darts.i can't knit my sweater whith such a big waist.can i just take away the 3,5 cm (my waist dart is 4 cm) of the waist dart and retrace my side seam or is it going to mess everything up?thanx diane!
Hello Flora, I think you should use the t-shirt block instead, to have a balance side seam without the dart value. t-shirt ua-cam.com/video/ZoieRVAVFGsk/v-deo.htmlnit sleeve : ua-cam.com/video/pHtKuB_743cD/v-deo.htmliane
Hello Fermi, I wish I could tell you that you could have a WOVEN fitted bodice block without darts or seam, but I can't. That dart less block is use for semi fitted or loose fit tops, like blouse or shirt. I even used it as a starting point to make my coat block and my bomber jacket. Diane
Hello Hathormage, Yes, there is going to be a little excess in the armhole and the neck, this block is good to use for shirt and semi fitted bodice. Diane
Hello Anna, If you do this one, you don't have to sew the waist dart, this block is good for shirt, blouse or looser fit top. But if you want a fitted bodice, you must have dart or seam like a princess line that pass by the apex, so you could eliminate the value of the dart and keep a good fit. Diane
Hi Sha, this would be a normal size 10, I say normal because the hip is a little more than standard size. It's the size of my basic block, and of all the pattern and garment I sew in my video. Diane

Brilliant
You are amazing!!!!
Fabulous
I have tried this technique so many times for plus size and something is not right when Get to the armhole. Could it be that the 1.5cm increases with the body measurement.?
Thank you for this wonderful video. Does that mean that the armhole does not change? and the sleeve pattern requires no changes?
Hello Luisa,
With this bodice, the armhole change a bit in the front. You must fix the sleeve by enlarging the sleeve about 1 cm. slash the grain line and add parallel, than remove 0.5 on each side of the wrist.
Diane
You're a genius
Please show us how to deal with bodice pattern where the front is greater than the back. Thank you
Hello Fermi,
These customize video seem to interest a lot of person, so I will do some more for sure.
Diane
Hi, Diane. I'm just wondering why do you need to open the shoulder 1,5 on the front block?
Thank you for your very helpful videos!
Merci encore pour ce vidéo, est-ce que la traduction française sera faite? Bonne année Diane, continue le beau travail, j'apprécie tellement.
Very useful.
Thank you so much.
Hi Diane can I use the dartless bodice to make Tshirt
I admire you. You are awesome.
Hey! Diane, Can you please share the video of origami bodice pattern or any other kind of stylish bodice pattern. 😃
Hi Pooja, good idea, I love making fabric manipulation.
Diane Deziel Thank you.
Hi Diane, can we remove the waist dart of front and back from the seam line of the waist...can we trim that much width at the waistline
Hello Yashvardhan Singh Chouhan,No you should not remove the value of the dart at the side seam/waist. This block is to be use for shirt or loose fit bodice. I did a draping video showing why you can't remove the darts.

Diane, once I remove the dart in the back , will this impact the sleeve block?
Can you do a size 12 bodice block pattern

Hello Ledora

I must do videos about these changes.
Diane
Happy New Year 2018 Diane!
hello,
the waist line of my dartless bodice always ends up below the original waistline at the side seam, is it normal?
It seems like I can't close a 4cm shouler dart (with 3cm waistline dart) or even a 3cm shoulder dart (with 4cm at waistline) wthout the side seam finishing below the original one. Should I ajust the measurments of the openings at neck, armhole and shoulder to rectify?
Hello Ouicertes,
can you send me a picture at dianedeziel@gmail.com
Diane
That's an interesting method. :)
Hey, Diane! Which sleeve pattern do I use in this dartless bodice pattern. Do I have to use shirt sleeve pattern that you shared. Please tell me.
Hi Pooja, Good idea, if your shirt sleeve goes well with this bodice, make it the matching dart less sleeve block Diane
Diane Deziel Thank you.
Thank you so much
i would like to use this as a pattern for a sweater i'm knitting.only thing,the waist is crazy huge if i leave the waist darts.i can't knit my sweater whith such a big waist.can i just take away the 3,5 cm (my waist dart is 4 cm) of the waist dart and retrace my side seam or is it going to mess everything up?thanx diane!

Morning, how do we eliminate gapping on a dartless bodice, in particular when we increase neck width
Hello Fermi,
I wish I could tell you that you could have a WOVEN fitted bodice block without darts or seam, but I can't.
That dart less block is use for semi fitted or loose fit tops, like blouse or shirt. I even used it as a starting point to make my coat block and my bomber jacket.
Diane
Or just add pleats or gather at the front neckline
ua-cam.com/video/rxGucflvQb8/v-deo.html
Will there be armhole gaping after the dart is eliminated?
Hello Hathormage,
Yes, there is going to be a little excess in the armhole and the neck, this block is good to use for shirt and semi fitted bodice.
Diane
Thanks alot
Te miro desde colombia. Nos puedes a hablar en español aunque lo q esplicas te entiendo gracias por tus enseñanzas

How can I eliminate my bust dart to sew a dartless bodice? Thank you
Hello Anna,
If you do this one, you don't have to sew the waist dart, this block is good for shirt, blouse or looser fit top.
But if you want a fitted bodice, you must have dart or seam like a princess line that pass by the apex, so you could eliminate the value of the dart and keep a good fit.
Diane
Can you tell me what size is 36- 28- 41 (inches) I would appreciate it. Thank you
Hi Sha, this would be a normal size 10, I say normal because the hip is a little more than standard size. It's the size of my basic block, and of all the pattern and garment I sew in my video. Diane
I love you so much 👍😚
