Is Your Armhole Too Big? Use This Simple Trick to Fix It | Part 5

The Secret to a Perfect Fit: Removing Excess Fullness in Your Pattern Have you ever finished your bodice pattern, only to notice extra fabric, small folds, or unwanted fullness around the bust and waist? In this tutorial, we’ll take the basic bodice block we drafted and checked in the previous lesson and make the essential pattern corrections needed for a cleaner, more accurate fit. You’ll learn how to identify and remove excess fullness from different areas of the bodice, including the CF, armhole, and side seam, and how to make the necessary adjustments to the back pattern as well. We’ll also cover an important adjustment for those with a very deep lower-back curve, and I’ll show you how to make the final shoulder corrections so the front and back patterns fit together properly. By the end of this tutorial, your basic bodice block will be fully corrected and ready to use as the foundation for creating different garment designs. ✂️ In This Tutorial: • How to identify excess fullness in a bodice pattern • CF (Center Front) fullness adjustment • Armhole fullness adjustment • Side seam fullness adjustment • Back pattern corrections • Lower-back curve adjustment • Closing the fullness on the pattern • Correcting the shoulder line • Final fitting checks ⏱️ TIMELINE 00:00 Introduction 00:00 Checking the basic bodice block 00:00 CF fullness adjustment 00:00 Armhole fullness adjustment 00:00 Side seam fullness adjustment 00:00 Closing the fullness on the front pattern 00:00 Ba
