Hi Bilikis, I've been trying to learn how to draft a bodice for a long time now, and have watched lots of demonstrations by many, many KZbin teachers. I've never had any of my patterns work out. The neck and shoulders never fit me. You are the first teacher to point out that the back shoulder slope isn't the same as the front!!!!! The very first!!!! This is going to make a big difference for me. So many of the YT teachers say that the length of the armseye is the same in the front as it is in the back. LOL Now I know this can't be correct. The back armseye has to be at least 1/2" longer! Girl, you've made my YEAR!

[@southernicedtea9925]

True but in commercial patterns the front and back arm is the same and lines up perfectly but it doesn’t fit well so this did solve problem

[@momzilla9491]

@@southernicedtea9925 Thank you for pointing out this adjustment for the front and back armseye. It is a great modification for commercial patterns. Lazy patterns are a curse.

Awesome teaching, so simple and very detailed, after (20) years of trying to draft a bodice pattern, I finally did one today, so impressed, thankyou so much..

[@adehenaolovaialu9059]

Appreciate your response madam. I love the dress you wore while you were tutoring us on body measurements on the mannequin, would love the pattern 🙂

[@theren8311]

Thank you for this follow up. Most other channels don't do so, and clearly, it's not a 1:1 when applying the measurements, with darts and all.

Very helpful ma. Just got to know some few hints on measurements. Thanks ma

[@Czarmash]

Hello mam, you such a great teacher. Please clarify where you say we can adjust the bust with hip measurements can I do the same for someone with very smaller bust...the armhole curve wasn't looking nice with their measurements???

The front doesn't have a side dart ?

[@favouritefrancispaul8389]

[@latifakam5710]

Hi ,that shoulder drop does not affect the horizontal measurements?and that 8inches starts at the 3 or 1inch where 3inches starts

[@olabisiojo99]

Thank you so much ma❤❤❤

[@yemmyowoeye1480]

Thank you sis

[@adangadang5940]

Hello thanks you

[@user-yq2pj5pn1n]

What is the distance between the bustline and the waistline? And from the waistline to the hip line?

[@alicethumbi]

Thanks for the great tutorial but a quick question do you add seam allowance on the armholes?

[@caramelrose7187]

Hi How many inches did you go for the back shoulder slope conpared to front shoulder slope

[@peachesdaley5271]

is it ok if I use my upper chest measurement on the chest line for my armhole curve because there's a big difference between my side seam and my armhole curve

[@nanaakosua6386]

How did you get bust point

[@ajayiadeola4474]

Hello ma, thanks for all u do. Pls ma i need ur help. I want to make a fitted lace dress for a pregnant lady. Pls ma is there any special thing i have to do to the wait line to accommodate d belly or i should cut the normal way as it is for women with big tummy. I will anticipate ur reply. God bless u ma

[@lawrenceblessing1174]

Awesome ma'am... . But please ma, my shoulder is 17÷2=8.5... then my arm hole= bust 46/6+1.5= 9.2..... The shoulder and the arm hole are not the same. What do i need to do ? From your illustration .. your shoulder is 17÷2= 8.5 and your arm hole is bust 42/6+1.5=8.5..... in this case your armhole anf your shoulder are the same.

[@bilikissignatures]

It's not a must that they are the same. Mine is just coincidental. Use the measurements you got.
