As part of my pattern drafting for beginners series, I have created a tutorial on how you can draft your own bodice block/bodice sloper. I've tried to keep this tutorial simple, using as little body measurements as possible to create this sloper. The bodice incorporates the necessary wearing ease needed for the bodice to fit.
THIS BLOCK ISN'T AS PRECISE AS OTHER METHODS AND SHOULD ONLY BE USED FOR ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS WHO WANT TO LEARN THE BASICS TO PATTERN DRAFTING.
************* PLEASE READ *************
A bodice block is used as a starting point for designing garments. Once you have a sloper that fits well, you'll be able to use it to make anything you want. This sloper can be used alongside my other tutorials, where you'll be able to learn a lot about pattern making.
This video does go quite quickly, so I suggest that you pause between each measurement so that you don't miss a thing. If you do have any questions, do let me know!

As mentioned in my pattern drafting for beginners tools and tips video ([ Ссылка ]), you should never measure yourself! A sloper made with the wrong measurements will not come out properly, nor will it fit you! If you don't have anyone to measure you, measure yourself as best as you can and then make adjustments after you have put your bodice together.
You can find all the materials you need to start drafting your own patterns at Minerva Crafts' website [ Ссылка ]. The majority of my supplies are from Minerva.
