In this session, I demonstrated how to true the oversized shirt drape by marking the shoulders, adjusting the armholes and neckline, and creating a slight curve at the waistline. I also showed how to determine the hemline shape and measured the key areas like armholes, neckline, and shoulders.
Lesson Steps:
- Marked the new shoulder line and underarm points
- Reshaped the armholes and neckline using curve rulers
- Trimmed seam allowances along armholes and neckline
- Straightened the side seams, optionally curving slightly at the waist
- Determined the desired hemline shape, curving or keeping straight
- Measured the armholes, neckline circumference, and shoulder lengths
- Pinned the side seams together to prepare for trying on the drape
