The Right Way to Draft an Fitted Top | Drafting a Fitted Off-Shoulder Blouse with Lacing

In this lesson, we draft an off-shoulder blouse with a corset-inspired silhouette, featuring center-front lacing and elastic smocking at the back. While the drafting process is important, this lesson also focuses on how to approach off-shoulder designs—whether starting from the underarm or using a bodice block for better structure and control. This is part of a broader series where you’ll learn how to build garments step by step while understanding the decisions behind fit and construction. ************************************************ 🎊 Masterclass – Pant Base Frame 🎊 https://www.patternstudio101.com/balance Learn how to draft a pant base frame and fix pant balance issues. 📚 The Pattern Studio Technical Library 📚 https://www.patternstudio101.com/youtube Build your own pattern-making reference library with weekly technical instructions. 🟢 PAD System 🟢 https://www.padsystem.com/content/pricing Get 5% off professional pattern-making software with code PS101A.
