- You will receive step by step instructions give you the knowledge to make standard sized blocks and the knowledge to create for different sizes.
- Our own fitted bodice block template, (included in the course) is the only tool designed with the NZ shape in mind. This template caters for differing body shapes which are useful if you are a home dressmaker, fashion or costume designer. The bodice block gives you the basis for fitting all sorts of shapes and sizes.
- Most sizing standards in the industry are based on bust measurement which is unreliable, as it is the chest measurement that characterises the build of the torso.
- The patterns made with our template have a more accurate fit as the chest bust difference is taken into consideration and thus the variations in the bust measurements are accommodated.
