In this tutorial, you'll learn how to draft the Basic Bodice Front, following the drafting guidelines from the textbook, Pattern Making for Fashion Design by Helen Joseph Armstrong.
I was depressed about self leaning of my own pattern making. I don't know this measurements are going to fit me after sawing... but I made this so easily than the other tutorials. Thank you so much for kind enough to make this much easier... love from sri lanka ❤
@@ProfessorTJWilkins mam, as I am a beginner and not from a fashion background, I am trying to develop a hobby so that I can stitch my own clothes... could you please make a video on different styles of a top? Your method of teaching is very easy to follow. Thank you :)
@@ProfessorTJWilkins mam, I want to try something asymmetrical and stylish like a classic monochrome black and white pattern top... its knit fabric I think... I am not sure because its all so new and a bit overwhelming 😅
@@Sera_Vaz Knit fabrics have a stretch to it that allows the fabric to adjust to the body. They tend to be 2-way or 4-way stretch. Woven fabrics tend to have little to no stretch and needs darts, princess seams or other types of seams to shape the garment to the body. I'll keep your concept in mind and add to the list of videos that is on the way.
Hi dear, this tutorial is quite different from the ones I have seen on bodice block. It's not beginner-friendly but quite easy to follow. Thank you 💕 for your support and encouragement. I however have a few questions to ask but just before then, I wish to suggest that an important video as this needs some explanation. Before drawing any lines, we should know what the line is and possibly how it factors into the entire scheme. It's easy to when the lines are named instead of the A, B, C labelling. But so far, it's rewarding watching you. My questions. 1. This is a waist-length block with a waist arc that's not regular in my opinion. What if you want to do a knee-length A-line or pencil gown using this approach, how do you deal with the waist? 2. The one and a quarter inch waist extension at P, is it a constant or how did you get it? 3. With this rubost approach, does it automatically solve the problem of zipper bulging, and is contouring needed?

I don't have the book so this looks like you're designing a rocket or something. If this had been my intro to sewing I would probably have thrown a blanket over my head and given up.:)
It is great to have the book, however to understand what it is I did here you will need to have a basic understanding of pattern making using body measurements. However, I would like to know, other than having the book, what could I have added in the video to help you understand better?
Love from India 🇮🇳♥ Well explained and excellent job. It would be more better if you can share measurements I know you already replied to someone that you picked measurements from a text book but mam, I can not get that book in my place. So, please share these measurements Yor help would be greatly appreciated. Best Prem
I cannot share all the measurement content from the book, that may lead to legal issues. However you can replace the measurements with your own. Would you like a video on how to do that?
Great question Ophelia! You are correct, in the book, the Front waist arc for a size 10 is 7 inches. B to F at the waistline is the dart placement. The dart placement ( which measures 3 1/4") took up a portion of the waist measurement. P to Q is the remainder of the waist measurement which measures 4". In the textbook, the equation is written as follows " P to Q = (Waist Arc) plus 1/4 ease, less B to F. That means, P to Q = 7 (Waist Arc) + 1/4 (ease) = 7 1/4 (front waist arc with ease) 7 1/4 (front waist arc with ease) - 3 1/4 (B to F Dart Placement) = 4 P to Q = 4 Hopefully, the breakdown helps! :D

Is R overlapping Q is fine?
Question. I have the book. Where are you getting the measurements from. A dress form?
I got the measurements from the text Book "Standard Measurement Chart"
Love from India 🇮🇳♥
Well explained and excellent job.
It would be more better if you can share measurements I know you already replied to someone that you picked measurements from a text book but mam, I can not get that book in my place.
So, please share these measurements
Yor help would be greatly appreciated.

@@ProfessorTJWilkins yes please 😊
Same for all sizes ??❤
No, each size has different measurements. However, the process is the same
Wow ..........
Please upload sleeve draft
Will do
Please am confuse with the measurement you used from P to Q ie 4" but in the book is 7" for size 10.
Great question Ophelia! You are correct, in the book, the Front waist arc for a size 10 is 7 inches.
B to F at the waistline is the dart placement. The dart placement ( which measures 3 1/4") took up a portion of the waist measurement. P to Q is the remainder of the waist measurement which measures 4". In the textbook, the equation is written as follows " P to Q = (Waist Arc) plus 1/4 ease, less B to F.
That means, P to Q = 7 (Waist Arc) + 1/4 (ease) = 7 1/4 (front waist arc with ease)
7 1/4 (front waist arc with ease) - 3 1/4 (B to F Dart Placement) = 4
P to Q = 4
Hopefully, the breakdown helps! :D
How much is 11/2 on scale????
May you clarify the question? Are you asking in reference to the sizing of a garment?
Nice
Thank You!
My body measurements re so different from the standards:(
No worries you can replace the measurements I used here, with your measurements. Would a video showing how to replace measurements, help you?
