How To Make Your Drape Pattern Fit Your Size/Custom Sizes

[@tylermariemcc]

I did this EXACT technique to make my own wedding dress-pinned on myself and everything. Thanks for sharing 🥰

[@dianavoermans]

The way you are adjusting the patterns is great. For such a tight fitting dress your method works absolutely fine. I am a seamstress/coupeuse and I would not do it anyway else! Big hugs from the Netherlands!

[@deekay6877]

Hi, I am so happy I found you. I am a self taught seamstress. I make and alter garments. I always second guess myself on how I reach my goal when I'm designing something. Watching this video gave me a reassurance that I'm doing it right. I also picked up the tip to use my curve ruler more. I usually free hand when I connect my markings. I see the curve ruler makes a smoother transition. I truly love your videos. Thank you so much for sharing them. God Bless!

[@christinebrument6851]

I used to make all my own clothes and now since I've found your channel I've got the bug again. Thank you fur sharing your wonderful designs. You look fabulous in them too you're truly very talented. I'm addicted to your videos at the moment!!!

[@lifeloveandbullshit8587]

[@teishahall7978]

Awesome! Absolutely beautiful!

[@philippelachance4237]

Hi Daniela, your video is very good, you get good skills for draping. Personally i use to work more with paper pattern than draping, but i learn some tricks with time. About waist and hip width, isn't better to dispatch your measurement between all pieces insted of only at side seam ? for waist measurement i'm agreed to remove 1/4 '' at side only is not to big. You have to add 5'' to hips width. you can use the 6 seams ( 2 for front princess seam, 2 at side seam & 2 for back princess seam ) and increase each one of 3/8''. shape will remain more soft along than add 1 1/4 in one shot which create side bump on paper pattern. also once your fitting done, since you pin the fabric only on one side, you can split the over value on both side seam. it will help to keep the grain line more balance. it was my advice, if it can help in your future design

[@truffleanpodge]

Philippe Lachance This is exactly what I was going to suggest, when there is a big discrepancy between measurements then it should definitely be split across all of the seams so it follows the body flow more closely. I guess this is something that comes naturally when you are more used to drafting custom blocks from scratch on paper, because you automatically distribute the measurements across centre front, side front, side back & centre back. I love the confidence and sense of freedom draping can instill because it's so immediately visual, a combination of the knowledge of both methods really allows you to trust yourself more when designing & pattern cutting :)

[@LampshadeLadEddie]

doesn't it depend on where the other seams sit on the body? In this case, if the princess seam - the front panel in this case - ends up just right and the side seam is the wrong fit it doesn't make sense to divide the difference? if it's not a big difference it's probably no important... I don't know, I'm just guesing :)

[@lindawiddowson8680]

Love your videos thank you so much. You've given me courage and inspiration.

[@О.Н.А]

[@samanthasaul2625]

You are amazing!!!

[@ubeumpa1459]

Love your videos...thanks a lot...but i have the same question as Laura, "...in your fitting technique- you pulled the excess fabric to one side. In making the adjustment back on the pattern, wouldn't you want to split the difference in half since you were not altering on each side seam?" Thanks.

[@loladam5024]

Omg this was so helpful thank you so much you're an amazing designer

Hello Daniela, great videos. I have a question when o transferred the first pattern piece to the paper, you measured 1' why is this? I'm a bit confused here. Thank you

[@shirleyrowland]

Thanks for sharing

Your Welcome

[@leehaskett2509]

Thank you this has helped me so much!

[@jessibandhan8985]

hi Daniela can you please help me how we can make pattron for gowns step by step cutting

[@laurenmogford1576]

Hi, I’m attempting to make my prom dress and was wondering if this could this pattern be adapted to a v- neckline ? Thank you x

[@ThePrima_Donna84]

how long did it take you to learn how to make gowns and design your own clothing? Im just starting to learn the sewing basics so any advice will do.

[@allaboutus9563]

You are so talented. Looking forward to seeing a finished dress. Why is the muslin material drafted onto paper, why not use it directly as a pattern?

[@goldiegold7830]

You draft it to paper to have a hard copy for that type of garment in case you want to make minor changes like a different neck line or grade it up or down etc.

[@latelierdemolly]

When Muslim is stored and folded it tends to warp in shape over time
