I was making a baseball jack with the lower capheight, but didnt like the draglines. So i changed to a high cap, but is there another way to get rid of those drag lines and keep the space for moving your arm freely? Should I change the armhole to a more straight line then?

I wish I had seen this video a year ago. What way would you suggest that I, an elderly woman with body anomalies, can go about getting the best fit in clothing I choose to make? My upper body is not the problem but starting about the bottom of my ribcage my left side is obviously larger than the right.. This is partly residual from surgery roughly 29 years ago. Also I have lymphedema which is much worse on my left than the right. I am 5'8" with a pear shape. My most embarrasing feature in a large pertrusion the size of a basketball below my high hip and beginning of my left thigh. I only offer this detailing because it is just not being fat. I hesitate to wear anything that is not loose, and not flattering. Thanks in advance.

I have a dress that sits funny on my shoulders, now I know why and can shorten the front bodice at the shoulders to get the proper drape. oddly enough it's one of my favorite store-bought sweater dresses but somebody was lazy in the design process and mirrored the front with the back which is very attractive but it hangs funny. Thanks!

This seems to be exactly opposite to my experience. I have a 1940s dress pattern with a very tall sleeve height and I can move my arms easily without the bodice moving. Is this due to the armhole then?
@grdmethod2 ай бұрын
Yes, that's fantastic that you have a tall sleeve height and can move your arms easily without moving the bodice. This means that you have a great balance between the armhole position, sleeve, and ease amounts. It also means that the armhole is not too low since the bodice doesn't move. It's always a puzzle finding that great combination to gain the comfort and a nice appearance.

You actually gave me an easier method. So you can put small bubble-sized tape on your shoulders, then wrap from the back and attach the string to the tape, remove the string once it connects to the tape, then measure the tape from the string.

Gina, I have the diagonal drag lines on the back of my slopper when I set in a sleeve. I did pinch out 1/2 at the shoulder. Should I make this adjustment on my slopper? Thank you this video was helpful, my name is Gina too!
@GinaRenee2 ай бұрын
Hi Gina! It's always nice meeting other Gina's! :) Yes, if you have a diagonal dragline, then it's a sign the the shoulder slope is not correct for your shape. I recommend updating your sloper. If the across back area is a bit small after you do that adjustment, then I recommend the correction on pages 102-105 in The Fitting Book.
@flikkeringlightz74722 ай бұрын
Hello. Thank you for the tutorial! I'm making a basic sloper for my sister and she needs this. Always commercial patterns and shirts are just too tight for her back. But can the difference be 20cm or 8"? Because the 10cm change to the pattern is quite scary looking... I'm wondering if I have just raised the back dart too much...
@flikkeringlightz74722 ай бұрын
I lowered the dart by 5cm or 2" and the difference became 15cm or 6". Thats still scary... I hope it will turn out fine 😅
@GinaRenee2 ай бұрын
@@flikkeringlightz7472 This is a really big amount. I recommend adding a yoke and possibly also a CB seam where you can add more shaping in it. In the chapter starting on page 181 in The Fitting Book, you'll see some options for adding a back yoke and this shaping will allow the shoulder blades to move more.

Since that free guide is more about making a silhouette change on a pattern, that is not included in The Fitting Book. The Fitting Book is for fitting corrections and switching silhouettes does not fall under that content.
