In this lesson, I demonstrated how to transfer the draped bodice pieces to paper patterns.
I showed the process of truing pattern pieces, adjusting fit, smoothing lines, and adding seam allowances. I also covered how to mark notches, grainlines, and other key pattern information.
Lesson Steps:
- Transfer draped muslin pieces to dotted paper, maintaining grainlines
- True princess seams by matching notches and smoothing curves
- Adjust fit issues like excess fabric or dart placement
- Clean up and smooth all pattern lines
- Add seam allowances (1 cm) to all pieces
- Mark notches, grainlines, bust/waistlines on patterns
- Label each pattern piece with name, size, cutting instructions
- Double check all pieces match and fit together properly
