Basic bodice block is one of the major pattern set in your pattern library, so it is important
to have it generated with utmost accuracy and precision. Draping skills will help you to
make the bodice block utterly accurate and verified on a dress form which is basically a
prototype of a human body. You will not need a lot of calculations to draft the pattern, but
instead you will learn how to manipulate the piece of fabric on a dress form to achieve the
pattern.

Watching our video instructions you will learn how to measure and prepare the fabric
pieces using the guidelines of the dress forms, learn about the concept of ease, how to
locate and create the darts while working with fabric pieces. At the end of the draping
process you learn how to mark the fabric and transfer the drape onto paper to produce
perfect paper patterns - basic bodice block.
