Hi sewists :) I am trying to draft a bodice block/sloper for the first time using Suzy Furrer's book Ultimate Guide to Designing Clothing patterns and stuck on a couple of bits would be really grateful for advice.
I'm not sure how to 'true' the front and back pieces has anyone got a good explanation for how you do this? It simply says 'true the front and back patterns at the neck, shoulder, base of the armhole and along the sides'. Not sure how to do this at the neck for example.
Having scanned through the chapter there is no mention of fabric so I'm also confused when is the best stage to start using fabric to actually try this out (after I've drafted the moulage pattern? After turning it into a sloper with ease?). Presumably once I sew it I will then need to go back to my pattern and figure out how to make adjustments 🙈
Thanks in advance for any advice!
