Description

Drafting a basic bodice is the first step in getting the structure for a fashion design. With proper measurements on a bodice, you can shape your fabric and curves into an excellent design.

In this course, we go through how to accurate add measurements for the neck line, the arm hole, the bust line, and waist line, with all accessory measurements along the way. I teach you how to calculate measurements so that you can draft a pattern that can be placed on drafting paper or clothing fabric for a successful design.

What you learn:

  • How to layout measurements for a bodice pattern

  • How to draft fitting lines and curves that will fit the body

  • How to calculate circumferences for the waist, bust and hip

  • How to construction waist and bust darts to help clothing fit

  • How to cut out a bodice pattern properly
