How to Grade a Bodysuit Pattern Step by Step: Keep the Fit and Design Perfect

In this video, I’ll walk you through how to grade a bodysuit pattern step by step. Grading is the process of making all the different sizes from your base size. For example, if you start with a Medium, you’ll need to create Small, Extra Small, Large, Extra Large, and more. It’s a key skill for pattern makers because it helps you keep the same design and fit across all sizes. A bodysuit is a one-piece garment that goes from the shoulder down to the crotch. If your design has a seam at the waist, you can apply two separate grading rules: bodice grading for the top and pant grading for the bottom. But in this tutorial, we’ll be working with a one-piece bodysuit without a waist seam, so you’ll need to consider how to increase both the armhole depth and the crotch depth at the same time. Once you get comfortable grading a bodysuit, you can use the same approach for grading swimsuits and overalls. ************************************************ 🎊 Masterclass – Pant Base Frame 🎊 https://www.patternstudio101.com/balance Learn how to draft a pant base frame and fix pant balance issues. 🟢 PAD System Cloud 🟢 https://www.padsystem.com/content/pricing Get 5% off professional digital pattern-making software with the code PS101A.
