Review This Product

Tue, 12 Jul 2022 | Review by: Nthabiseng N.

This is great a resource for adapting patterns that already fit well. The drafting instructions for the standard blocks (bodice and pants) didn't work for me. I ended up using patterns that already fit me well. Despite this, I would buy this book again. Update: since this review I've attempted to draft blocks again. This time I used the standard measurements given in the book, as opposed to my personal measurements, and I assumed a dressmakers b-cup. The block fits perfectly apart from a few expected adjustments. I think where I went wrong the first time was drafting based on my actual bust measurement, as opposed to assuming a dressmakers b-cup then doing a full bust adjustment. The bodice blocks in this book are the best fitting I've encountered so far. I've tried various fitting shells and patterns - all needed a million adjustments.
