Hi everyone! Just a few notes I forgot to mention in the intro:
This method is an amalgamation of several tutorials I have followed (particularly this one: https://inthefolds.com/blog/2016/2/22...) plus my own learnings and experiences I've made, from fashion school to my more DIY approach in recent years.

This is not a professional or scientific method - it is what works for me.

Technically speaking anyone following this precisely should achieve a working result. Human proportions can be complex though and the result therefore might differ from what you see in my version.

I also need to add that I did, in fact, changed one or to things compared to the first version of this method I shared last year (contrary to what I say in the intro). You can find old version here:    • Step by Step Bodice Block Tutorial  |...  

With that, I hope you give this method a try and share your learnings with the comment section! Happy drafting xx
