So detailed, I love how you actually explained the whole process and measurements, showing exactly how to measure and make a bodice block pattern with bust darts. You should really open a training centre. You are great at explaining this.
Hi Cilla, You're awesome! I finally made my self a perfect fitting sloper. I had such problem with my armhole and shoulder slope. The calculation that you gave for the armhole did it for me. Anyone who wants to make that perfect sloper please pay close attention to the video I am so thankful. Be bless.
You are welcome, I am glad I could help . The shoulder slope could sometimes be a challenging one to get . In such cases you can measure it . I have a measurement tutorial for that as well if you ever have such challenge in the future ❤️❤️❤️
This is similar to the way I was taught to pattern draft in my younger days ,I thought it was complicated .However you are spot on .People need to learn how to do things properly.Though the simplier way is just as good.Thanks for the video and well done.❤❤❤
So far, the most accurate and detailed pattern compare to others. Love how you discuss the process along the way. New subscriber here. Hope to see more from you❤️ from Philippines🇵🇭
Hi Cilla, You're the best. My bust circumference 45" upper bust 40" and my under is 37". I am a beginner but I like detail. So, I am glue to your videos. You're giving us a lot of detail/knowledge about drafting. You deserve a cup of coffee.🌷🌷🌷🌷
So there is this blog I stumbled upon on Pinterest, good thing is that she is on UA-cam so I will leave a link . To summarise she basically used the upper bust to draft the block. 5” ease is added to the upper bust and 3 to 3½ “ to the bust……. But first instead of taking the whole body circumference, you divide the bust and upper bust and waist in half that is from side seam to side seam when taking your body measurements …. so you’d have the front bust arc, front upper bust arc and front waist arc and the back arc ….as well . After then you divide the ease into 3 and add ⅔ of the ease to the back and ¹/₃ to the front arc . It’s so much to type in here but I guess you should watch it on UA-cam or read her blog on Pinterest. You wouldn’t need to do a FBA if you draft with her method Kindly search for “dresspatternmaking “ on both platforms. I haven’t tried her method yet but it makes so much sense.ua-cam.com/video/ypSyuwgnl-c/v-deo.html
@@CillaSi Cilla, I was happy finding her post a while back, it made me aware that my thoughts were not crazy, meaning using my upper bust measurement. However, for some reason I got lost trying to use her formula. I made pants from her formula and it came out perfect. I believe making a plus size is a completely different approach need to be use. I will try to use her formula again and let you know.
@@soniaalexander5433 I’m so sorry about that. it really a long process to follow I must say but I would advice you keep trying until you master it . I have worked with a D cup size only once but I can’t remember how I did it hopefully when I work with a D cup model again I might study it more and come up with a possible solution
waooo...cutting and sewing is not easy ooo..omo, see calculationyour explaination is really detailed and will be very useful for peolpe they have like person.well done
Hi Cillia, You're drafting is the best I have seen. I have watch so many and learn a lot but yours are exceptional. The only critique, a beginner would have difficulty following you because it goes very fast, however I got. It's amazing.
Thank your so much for your sewing tutorial. Its so useful and perfectly and clear exploration with Dummy and pictures with meturintape. I'm thanking you agin and again. Give us more tutorials useful like this. God bless you mam. Bye ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi.. It's good..detailed, precise. Can u pls give meaning written in ur description pl? And if I wanna go for an overlap top, have to relocate the darts? If yes can't u make a video on it??
Hi cilla, this is by far the most detailed bodice I have seen, and I totally loved it. However, can I still contour by eliminating gapping? Or is this perfect?
I have been trying to draft a bodice but I have large breasts so many other tutorials do not work for me because they work on apex to waist and do not include side length, thank you very clear. The only slight difference I would say is most people seem to draw the front bust darts from about one inch below the apex from the start but you explained it differently
I’m here wondering where’s her calculator? I guess when you’re good at this if all becomes second nature. You were so detailed with your explanations and sharing every step.
Can I use m upper bust measurement in drafting this pattern and just open more on side dart later. This is to prevent so much ease in the front armhole and at the same time it accurately fit my true bust measurement.
Hi! This is very helpful especially to beginners like me. Just want to ask, what if the difference of my upper bust and bust circumference is 1.5" - how many inches should I go down from my bust point? 1" or 1.5"? Thank you in advance! 💖💕
Wow! Thank you so much for replying. I really appreciate it. 💖💕 GOD bless you and more power to your channel. Hope we would see a lot from you. You're the best! ❤️😇
Hi Cilla, I have difficulty making a sloper with a bust over 45"(bust D,E.) When I divide the bust by 4, the back is too wide. So, I use the upper bust measurement, divide it by 4 and then do a full bust adjustment. Is there and easy way. Can you help?
So I read a blog sometime ago where she dealt with issues like this and it was basically using the upper bust and adding 5” , well I will have to confirm and get back to you . By the way is this your bra cup size (D,E )???
Yes you do . excess fabric on the Under-bust is more as a result of the fullness of the bust. the smaller the bust the less fabric you’d have under the bust area . If the waist and the under bust measurements are the same , then in this case there will be no need to curve in the under-bust at the side seam . I’d advise you watch the video on contouring.
The dart in the armhole is naturally created by the protruding of the bust and that’s what creates the actual bust dart . If you go ahead and sew this pattern without creating that armhole dart you would see there is gapping on armhole . Check out this video link where I did a practical representation Basic Bodice pattern | Why The Bust Dart | Easiest Method |Cilla Si ua-cam.com/video/mAXAZ5pzw4o/v-deo.html
Pls how does one know when to make use of a dart on a dress pattern. Is bust and waist dart compulsory for all dress pattern ? Am confused or is a matter of choice?
The human figure is not a flat surface . it’s because of the contour of the body like the bust, hips and waist you need darts it is the darts that transforms your flat pattern to a 3d structure especially when you are working with a woven fabric. But if it’s a knit fabric you can do without the darts because its stretchy and also if the garment is loose fitted you can do without the darts
One method that works in getting the back dart is to subtract quarter of your waist from quarter of your bust or the bust line width ( bust ÷ 4 + ¾ “ ease ) or whatever amount of ease you using; Whatever that gives, divide it by 2 Example : quarter waist 7, quarter bust 9 9 - 7 = 2” Divide 2 by 2 = 1” Back waist dart =1”

What if i do it without darts?
Is there a formula to measure how large the darts on the front should be according to your bust size?
Yes There is a formula, but this method just shows you how to get the bust dart manually

This is for the adjusting the darts.

from d busy level how much centimeter going up
Please I don’t understand the question can you make it clearer?
❤ 😍 the explanation..... but please what's the need for the dart In the armhole
The dart in the armhole is naturally created by the protruding of the bust and that’s what creates the actual bust dart . If you go ahead and sew this pattern without creating that armhole dart you would see there is gapping on armhole . Check out this video link where I did a practical representation

Pls how does one know when to make use of a dart on a dress pattern. Is bust and waist dart compulsory for all dress pattern ? Am confused or is a matter of choice?
The human figure is not a flat surface .
it’s because of the contour of the body like the bust, hips and waist you need darts it is the darts that transforms your flat pattern to a 3d structure especially when you are working with a woven fabric. But if it’s a knit fabric you can do without the darts because its stretchy and also if the garment is loose fitted you can do without the darts
How much ease you added in bust round, is it 0.75" or 1" in 1/4 pattern or in 1" ease in total bust measurements.
Total ease around bust is 3½”
Bust ÷ 4 +1 for front that is half front pattern
Bust ÷ 4 + ¾ for back that is half of back pattern
@@CillaSi Thanks a lot for replying to me, thanks for the tutorial, it's very helpful. Love from India.
Can you please explain what changes we have to make in this pattern while drafting bodies for different cup sizes.
Why is there an upper arm hole dart? I have never seen it on any garment.
Please is this Nathalie bray?
Can someone please clarify the width of the back waist dart. Thank you
One method that works in getting the back dart is to subtract quarter of your waist from quarter of your bust or the bust line width ( bust ÷ 4 + ¾ “ ease ) or whatever amount of ease you using;
Whatever that gives, divide it by 2
Example : quarter waist 7, quarter bust 9
9 - 7 = 2”
Divide 2 by 2 = 1”
Back waist dart =1”

Does that mean 1inch on each dart leg.....or 1inch total dart...that is 0.5inch on each dart leg. Please reply
