Pattern Drafting Bodice

Postby poupeedesucre » Sat Jun 25, 2011 10:57 pm

Hi all, I found a great tutorial (not mine), for drafting a bodice sloper. Evange's sloper tutorial and many of her other tutorials can be adapted for dollies since she has you create your own patterns. I hope its okay to post this here and I hope it is helpful.

I modified the sloper to make this empire waist dress, and added some width at the center of the sloper to add pintucks

But that's adorable! :D
