Shoulder Slopes Demystified: Why Is the Front More Angled?

[@GinaRenee]

This video barely scratches the surface on the topic of shoulder slope. I talk in-depth about it in my online course "Mastering Garment Ease".

Hi Gina, I signed up for your Mastering Ease Course, but did not get an email response after waiting 45 minutes. Did you close enrolment? Thank you.

Important topic, less discussed. Thankyou

[@GinaRenee]

So glad you found it important and valuable.

So glad you presented this video - great information and it made me take a closer look at my shoulder slope. I've been learning to draft patterns and discovered I have more forward shoulders and my front low shoulder point is 2" lower than my high neck/shoulder point. And it is very much a straight transition from one end to the other (not concave or convex). I agree that getting the right fit on your shoulders plays a large part in having your garment hang well on your body. Thank you for your time and knowledge.

I'm so glad this was helpful. It's great that you're learning the important things about customizing patterns to your body!

I am astounded. I had noticed that when I tried to get the shoulder seam correct on muslins, my front shoulder seemed to want a slight curve in the seamline, but because I never see a curve in patterns I always corrected it. This is the first time I've ever seen this and thank you! Just ordered your book.

[@GinaRenee]

I'm so glad the video was helpful and resonated with your experience! It's amazing how those small details can make such a difference. It's great you found something that clicked, and it's great you ordered the book! I hope it continues to support you on your sewing journey.

Your valuable advice will benefit many and me as well 

[@GinaRenee]

Thanks for your very nice comment! :)

That point is actually the acromion process. It is the top of the scapula (shoulder blade).

[@GinaRenee]

Thanks for sharing the technical terms :)

[@sheryldongque4606]

Thank you so much now I understand why pattern have different slope. You explained it so well❤️❤️

[@GinaRenee]

I'm so glad it's clear and that you understand now about the different slopes!

[@UniversalEngineer]

This is BRILLIANT! I’ve never had anyone differentiate between the shoulder bone and low point shoulder! Wow!👏👏👏

[@GinaRenee]

Sounds like you had an "Aha!" moment! I'm so happy this helped clarify that :)

[@SantoriaDashira]

Great, I really learned much about this video

[@grdmethod]

I'm so glad you learned a lot!

Thank you, Gina. The best class to adjust my shoulder slope in blouses.

[@GinaRenee]

So glad to hear it was helpful!

[@vintagegirl68]

Gina, I have the diagonal drag lines on the back of my slopper when I set in a sleeve. I did pinch out 1/2 at the shoulder. Should I make this adjustment on my slopper? Thank you this video was helpful, my name is Gina too!

[@GinaRenee]

Hi Gina! It's always nice meeting other Gina's! :) Yes, if you have a diagonal dragline, then it's a sign the the shoulder slope is not correct for your shape. I recommend updating your sloper. If the across back area is a bit small after you do that adjustment, then I recommend the correction on pages 102-105 in The Fitting Book.
