This video is part of a four-part series I originally created for my Patreon members after receiving a question about how to drape a front and back knit bodice without using darts. Dartless Knit Bodice I’ll be uploading each part separately, so be sure to watch for every step in the series. Although this lesson was originally recorded several years ago, the technique is just as relevant today. Understanding how to manipulate fabric and create shape without traditional darts is an important advanced skill in both fashion draping and patternmaking. These are the kinds of real design dilemmas and techniques I explore in greater depth through my YouTube Membership, including lessons that you won’t find in my regular free videos. ✂️ Join the Susan Elias Couture YouTube Membership and learn more: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCN0B3kKraFuR0BX2KVp1x_A/join #Draping #FashionDraping #SusanEliasCouture #BodiceDraping
