How to Measure For Bodice Block Pattern Making (Free Sample)

[CGLuxury]

Excellent tutorial video. Thank you.

I wanted to ask. I once read somewhere that the 'center back length' was taken from the nape of the neck to the waist at the back. Here the back bodice length is being taken which is obviously different from that. While making the pattern for the bodice is it better to use one or the other? or both?

@Kharmionnali

Both ways of measuring are valid. It really depends on the way you draft your pattern for that area.

Happy Sewing,

You can check Queen street stores close to Spedina, or eBay and Kijiji. Usually you can find better deals online.

What does it mean by block pattern?

[eSewingWorkshop]

@venmidori

Block pattern is a pattern which is close fitting. It is your true measurements, without any ease or styling ease added to it. Once you have a block pattern such as a bodice, pants or skirt block, then you can style it as you like. It is the foundation on which you start your garment on.

This was a very informative video, but I have two questions. What is the significance of the white paper's 2.5cm width? Does the length of the paper matter, or is it simply a flat guide?

@kettoshii

It is simply a guide.
