HOW TO DRAFT A BODICE BLOCK/PATTERN | Like a PRO!

[@Thefashionarchitect]

Hey guys! Do you want to learn how I draft my Trouser block? I’ve got a new video for you on the channel. Don’t miss it!

[@joannaweir9787]

I found this very helpful, the downside is that there are sections of the video where the sound disappears.

[@KarenScott6]

Thank you. My daughter wanted a trouser suit. But the pattern was too small for her. I managed to adjust the trousers without issue. They fitted great until she asked for them to be baggy - ugh. However, the fitted jacket was scaring me. Miraculously, an hour after I said that to her, this came up on YT. So this morning I went through it with my measurements. I am now going to do it for her then lay the pattern pieces on top so I can work out how to add the extra inches. Phew this saved me some stress

[@JenForde]

The video is very good for a beginner. I was struggling to draft my bodice in class and this really gave me a better idea than the booklet that teacher gave us.

[@Thefashionarchitect]

Glad you found it helpful

[@Krishnapriyavijesh-y8m]

This class is very amazing and useful

[@Thefashionarchitect]

Thank you!

[@hennyoeyen4277]

Fabulous. Also glad you use cm instead of inch Thank you

[@Thefashionarchitect]

Thank you! Using Centimeters aids in achieving better accuracy.

[@mrgarner4796]

I will need to watch this a couple of times to grasp all the information you have provided. Great video. Thank you.

[@karolinawesterstrom4641]

I can't thank you enough for this video!! I've been trying many different "draft a bodice block-tutorials" but none gave me a good result until I found yours. I was about to give up and then I decided to give it one more try! THANK YOU!! Im so happy now! :D

you’re great❤❤ please tell me what’s your method pattern?

[@nunyabusiness3582]

could you possibly drop a video of you taking measurements of yourself so we can have a visual guide of how to take the measurements correctly?? that would be so very helpful

[@Thefashionarchitect]

I teach that in my course. The link is in the description.

[@nanakwakyewaa2076]

Pls do another video using inches ...thanks great job😊

[@nigelspandex2877]

You can divide the centimeter measurements by 2.54 to get inches.

[@chalcedonyfashionhouse711]

Thanks for tge detailed teaching

[@paulinadoeses4759]

Good afternoon ma'am. I like to learn. Thank you ❤

[@AngelaKumi-y4w]

Thank you very much! Please is it correct to have 7cm as the difference between the Front bodice length and the Back bodice length?

[@homefoodng]

Thanks for this. Please, what would you consider a small or fuller Burt in inches?

So easy to follow well done! U just got a new subscriber!!

[@vuyelwaflorence]

Thank you very much by using cm.

[@lankabhumi1114]

Thank you. How do you mark seam allowance for the arm hole? After cutting on material how can you add seam allowance on arm hole and neck? Thanks

[@Thefashionarchitect]

The seam allowance was added to test for fit. Typically you are not meant to add seam allowance to a block. Seam allowance can only be added when a pattern for a design is completed. At that point you can add seam allowance to all the seams.

[@lankabhumi1114]

@@Thefashionarchitect thank you. I always get confused because most videos does add side seam allowances but not to the neck and arm hole and also sometimes to shoulders. Was wondering why that is.

[@laureensamanka4765]

In front there's a dart coming from the shoulder. Do we hv to sew it but i cant see that in your sewn blouse

[@ayomideolaoluwa6760]

I love your method of teaching ❤. You just earned a subscriber

[@alexandriaborn8285]

Great tutorial, thanks a million

[@Thefashionarchitect]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@charlottejones7341]

Yes I agree we need to also have it in inches so we can convert the numbers

[@nigelspandex2877]

1 inch = 2.54 cm

Please I'm a beginner, how do you get your body measurement before dividing??

[@greatmind7437]

Good 👍

[@IdowuAishah]

Thank you so much ma

[@bmbrooklyn]

@thefashionarchitect will the course teach me the step by step to learn how to make patterns? Will I have lifetime access to the courses? Thanks

[@joannaweir9787]

@bmbrooklyn. I think most courses like that allow you access to the course until you stop paying the monthly fee. It's like hiring a car, the car belongs to the company.

[@AM-nn2xy]

Fantastic explanation it does take a long time but worth it 😊

[@moyochristianah7070]

Please ma can we extend the back dart legs to the bust point like we did for the front?

[@banyetchetnicodemusibrahim42]

This is a very good tutorial. It's actually simple yet not beginner friendly because there's a lot of little details to keep in mind. So far I am pleased to find your channel. I love how you snatched the waist and also how you create darts. I will be conversing with a friend about your channel and meticulousness. Considering how you create darts, I see that after the manipulation you have what's like a V connecting the darts feet with a center line at the V curve. Isn't it possible to just go ahead and draw the V curve with my ruler without having to manipulate the paper to achieve that?

[@Thefashionarchitect]

Thank you for this review!

[@AngelaKumi-y4w]

Thank you very much! Please is it correct to have 7cm as the difference between the Front bodice length and the Back bodice length? Is it too much or you can have it higher than that?

[@Thefashionarchitect]

Oh no, there is nothing wrong with that. For some very busty people, it could be as high as 15cm difference.

[@thembisangapi8531]

Woow !!! Thank you

[@stephanieokeke4522]

Hello, Thank you so much for this elaborate breakdown. is this going to eliminate the bulge one usually see at the zipper?

[@Thefashionarchitect]

Hi! So this problem is mostly caused by the nape-waist measurement being too long. With the accurate measurement, you wouldn’t have the bulge problem. There’s also a shaping at the back that is required for fitted garments. I’ll most likely teach that in another video. ❤️

[@maamebonsrah]

[@Thefashionarchitect]

Thank you! 😊

[@paulavish5482]

Could you please tell why the back armhole circumference is turning out longer than the front armhole circumference in this bodice draft?

[@patternwithprabha]

In front shoukder dart you said smaller bust 2cm and bigger bust 1cm. What is size range for smaller bust and bigger bust ?? Could you please mention ??

[@ogunbiyiadedoyin3838]

Thank so much for this videos,its really helpful..please ma when sewing this pattern,did u sew the shoulder dart i mean close it with sewing machine or you left it and its just fit like that??

[@Thefashionarchitect]

Oh yes! All darts must be sewn.

Is it different for men?

[@gladmorischannel2634]

Thank you 🙏

[@level2456]

Thanks for this. Are we not going to have V shapes or corners at the center front and centre back due to the front extension (triangle at the bottom)

[@Thefashionarchitect]

Hi! It all balances out when the darts are sewn. Unless in some cases where the difference between the center front and side seam is very much, then you’d need to confirm the side seam measurement from the human figure and make the necessary adjustments to the side seams. This should fix it. I hope this answers your question.

[@level2456]

@@Thefashionarchitect Thanks for your response

[@level2456]

I incorporated the difference between front and back length and made it a front side dart. It works well also. Thanks was just sharing.

[@melindam2776]

Something that always bothers me: why is bust measurement is divided by 4? My back is not the same with as my front. I'm a 32E bra size (i have narrow back. And shoulders). This would make my back too wide, but my front too tight. If we want to be precise, should we measure the back and front portions separately as well?

[@olubunmiakinloye4708]

Just going through this tutorial now. How can i convert Cm to inches so i can have better understanding pls

[@Thefashionarchitect]

Hello! Thanks for this question. The measuring tape has two sides. One is in inches and the other in centimeters. An easy way to convert the measurements is if you need to find 20inches in cm for example, simply find where 20inches falls on your tape, hold it and flip to the other side of your tape. You will have that measurement in centimeters. The trick is to do this for all your measurements before you start drafting so you have all your measurements in cm. I hope this helps.
