Hi lovely people
Im wanting to make the nina lee park Lane dress.
Just about to cut the paper pattern and do my usual grading. Im smaller Bust and waist and wider at the hips. So normally grade small to large.
The park Lane bodice pieces finish waist/just under Bust and then its the skirt pieces.
I want to grade from a 12 Bust to 14 waist/hips.
Looking at my bodice pieces, the front is a simple blend and im confident to do that change. However the back bodice piece from arm hole area to waist line goes inwards. And im not sure how to grade that. As im drawing a line outwards, which i know is my aim. But not sure if that would alter the shape.
I will put a picture in so you can see.
Second thing, im tall and have to lengthen every thing i make. Do i lengthen then grade, or grade then lengthen?
I am going to make a toile to be sure but would really appreciate some advice on this.
Thank you in advance. X
