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, Pattern Cutting by Dennic Chunman Lo https://www.amazon.com/Pattern-Portfolio-Skills-Fashion-Textiles/dp/1856697509 Helen Joseph Armstrong Basic Bodice Tutorial: https://youtu.be/paHqo1YRPQA Bodices are important foundations for creating dresses, jackets, and other garments according to your design.
