Easy and fast basic bodice block pattern (No Darts)

I demonstrated how to make this easy basic bodice block pattern with no darts. You can use this pattern to make designs like non fitting garments like shift dresses and t-shirts. It will also be suitable to make designs that require stretch fabrics.

This tutorial is very straight forward, concise and easy. I will be using this pattern for some of my future tutorials so it will be easier and faster for you to follow my tutorials. I will definitely be posting another version of this pattern with darts as well as other patterns for dresses, jackets, skirts, pants etc. Stay tuned for more.

In case you’re wondering- at 5:31, she says “MINE is 9cm”- NOT “MINUS 9cm”. Took me a while to figure that out.

hi, how do i add sleeve to this bodice block

[sugarbabyesquire]

The math brings back bad school. Memories lol

[jolenecole]

can you make written instructions (like in word or Google docs) and link it?

[colleengarcia]

Hi Temy can you please, please show us how to measure ourselves I am trying out the draft but it is not working out in the armhole area thank you.

[PSALMSOFSONGS]

This is actually a great tutorial, Temy. But, can you do another tutorial on how to measure yourself in order to draft the bodice? I'd like a visual, please. Thanks. 😊

Hi Terry Marie

G to I for the Front is 4cm

while O to P for the Back is 5cm
as you mentioned but your
measurement reading from the
Take was only 2.5cm.

Kindly confirm with thanks.

You have a wonderful day ahead.

Bye for now.

Sorry I found this confusing as it went so fast and I couldn’t hear what measurement you meant in places. I think it would help if you showed the measurements before you started. As although I pattern draft regularly even I wasn’t sure of the shoulder waist measurement on your draft. It didn’t look how I measure it. But I’m not sure. For clarity could you add the measurement visual. I haven’t drafted a dartless bodice so am interested in this video. Thanks

If I could have the scripte of your explanation I would be glad .
Thanks

That's nice and all, but shirts and bodices don't stop at the waist. Would love to see that blocked.

Thanks for the video. What happens if front waist length is great than back

[stormdancer]

FINALLY, one that makes sense. Can you show how each part of the body is measured?

[infofur]

u started off real good and the way you present it, is very clear, BUT you would want to tell us more instructions on what you're actually doing and why. I am a professional sewer, but this even confuses me. I never learned to draw professional patterns, so i'd like to learn. U need to tell why you choose 4cm for the shoulder slope and what you are creating those lines for in future usings. Thanks for this vid ;)

[ritadsouza]

why is the front shoulder slope more than the back shoulder slope???

[hjkennaugh]

I am totally confused as you don’t say why you do anything, sorry.

[nanaama]

can you just tell me how to calculate or how to get ur exact shoulder slope

[jesselpires]

plz do a video on how to take body measurements accurately

[atefaalmaskari]

can you be more accurate in the shoulder drop measurement for all sizes, please its confusing me

[level]

Hi. Thanks for the video. My highest point shoulder to waist for the front is 3 inches more than the back. How do I deal with that. Your assistance would be much appreciated

What if the waist or tummy is bigger than chest
