Bodice and Skirt slopers were created from a standard Misses Size 8 dress form which consists of the measurements of a 36" Bust, 27 1/2" Waist, 35 1/2" Abdomen, and 37 1/2" Hip. From the master pattern set, original Skirt, Top, and Dress designs were made. This master pattern set has also been utilized throughout the subsequent course of Design Challenges. |
Half-scale pattern work mitigates wasted materials and production time when evaluating the fit of a garment. The pattern work pictured to the left was provided by the course instructor with the addition of key markings by Megan Marie indicating the Center Front (CF), Center Back (CB), Seam Allowance (SA), folding point of the dart (indicated with an "x"), and slash lines. |
