BASIC BODICE BLOCK | PATTERN DRAFTING LESSON | DENNIC CHUNMAN LO METHOD | LA MODÉLISTE
Pattern Making Basics:
Basic Bodice Block by Dennic Chunman Lo. A Step by Step Tutorial.
Hi guys! This new tutorial about Basic Bodice from Dennic Chunman Lo the Author of Pattern Cutting.
I’ve made some revisions to it especially the neckline formulas.
By the way guys, I used my dress form's measurements, I tried to apply the book's instructions
on different measurements to see how accurate it is, and YES! I am impressed!
At first, I admit I thought the book wasn't easy to follow that's why I gave myself a day to read the Basic Bodice instructions and it turned out to be easy.
The book isn't the same with Helen Joseph Armstong.
With Helen she has a lot of patternmaking drafts on her book, with Dennic all of his drafts are about the BASIC PRINCIPLES which is actually good and not so overwhelming.
If you're a beginner I suggest you buy this BOOK as well! It is great for beginners as it is very thorough and detailed,

Ordered the book. I’m going to give it a try! I like this drafting because you do both at the same time!

excuse me but I just noticed your comment…I wanted to ask that very same question. See I love this video because I think it’s very well done and easy to follow but I was wondering do I follow it to completion using my wife’s measurements (51 3/4 bust circumference) then do a FBA? I’m really trying to get this right for her so that I can begin making clothes with a more flattering look to her natural beauty and form vs her trying to squeeze into off the rack stuff.

Guys the Armhole depth is 1/2 width of Front or Back bodice + 1 cm
thank you for this video brit!! if you're still looking at comments, i'm a little confused on the side seam dart step. i also have the book and i was wondering what does the removal of the front and back darts mean? i'm worried that the waist area will be too tight on my block
Mam , Is that 2 inch front shoulder dart width is standard ???
I'm trying to draft this. Once and for all can you help explain this formula? For example 18 5/8in I'm always confused with the / is it divide or point . Or what please explain in tape form. Sorry I really need to know this because it been in almost all your tutorial.

Miss Brit Why did you not use the armhole depth and armhole circumferece measurement in drafting?! For the arrmhole depth you actually use the half of width frame. Pls enlighten me heheh Im just confuse why 😅 heheh Im just a beginner starting to learn pattern making. Thank you for the video! Its very helpful.
@LAMODÉLISTE

With the armhole depth, It’s what the book instructed. The armhole circumference is for adjusting or altering the pattern once you’ve already made the toile or Muslim. So if you observed that the armhole is quite big, you can always refer to the Armhole Circumference measurement. I hope this helps you! ❤️

Hello! Thank you for these informative videos! I have a question with the frame measurements. The width is computed using half the bust measurement plus half the ease measurement twice?
@titao61
Жыл бұрын
I'm not sure I understand the instructions in the book correctly.. did the author use half the bust measurement (without ease added) plus half the ease measurement? In your video, half the bust with ease measurement plus an added half of the ease was used for width of the frame. I'm having trouble with the waist dart width because the excess take up is very small if I followed the book. Help please. And thank you again.

It does make the Bodice bigger because of added tolerance, i suggest if you don’t have the book the formulas here are accurate. List all of the measurements required with added tolerance or you can just add the tolerance when you’re drafting the bodice.

When should we add seam allowance? Should we add it while cutting on fabric?
@LAMODÉLISTE
2 жыл бұрын
add the seam or sewing allowances before you cu them on your actual fabrics. btw tolerance shouldn't be confused with seam and sewing allowance. a tolerance is for the movement, like an ease when the actual garment is worn. sewing or seam allowance are the ones you stitch on your sewing machine.

For starters, I think the dennic chunman lo book is perfect. You’ll be overwhelmed with a lot of pattern making lessons with Helen Joseph Armstrong. Once you mastered a book move on to another one to avoid scattering of ideas. Master and master. Practice and more practice. Some of the best pattern makers trained for many years. Take your time.

Edit ok, so I ignored the tolerance lol and now I've got too little space with the 3 darts at the bottom and it won't add up to my waist circumference anymore. But I'm still confused because if my brain is right, it would need a whopping 5" rather than the 1/2 of 1,25" tolerance (2" waist dart, +1,5" back waist dart + 1,5" side seam dart). I am now cutting the two peaces in half for more space.

Hi there the shoulder darts is on the bias part, match the notches of the dart opening (from the shoulder seam) draw a line on the one side of the dart and pin horizontally not vertically, pin everything in place until the dart end. And sew that the best advice I can give. Do it patiently. Sewing a bias part can be such a b*tch. Don’t pull your fabric too much it will distort your dart. Control is the key
