Part 3: How to TRUE & CORRECT Your Drape | Front + Back Bodice Patternmaking

This is Part 3 of my four-part advanced draping series. Dartless Knit Bodice Now that the front and back knit bodice have been draped, it’s time for one of the most important steps: taking the drape off the form, laying it flat, and truing and correcting the pattern. In this lesson, I show you how to review both the front and back bodice, correct your lines, smooth your curves, check your grainlines, and true the drape so it can move from fabric into an accurate pattern. This is where draping and patternmaking come together. A drape may look good on the form, but learning how to properly correct and true it on the flat is what turns that drape into a usable pattern. This series was originally created for my Patreon members, but the techniques are still just as relevant today. Watch for Part 4 to complete the series.
