Draft of Fitted Bodice Back

 

HOW TO DRAFT THE FITTED WAIST FOUNDATION IN PATTERN

The following diagrams show how to take the necessary measurements on the figure and how to draft the pattern.

The dotted lines in the drafting diagrams represent the construction lines; the solid heavy lines are the outlines of the pattern.

1. CENTER BACK LENGTH

A to B – From neck to waist. Draw this line for center back line.

2. ACROSS BACK

A to C – Equals 1/4" of line A-B.

C to D – Equals half of width across back. Square a line across C to D; then extend line . . .
