Just a little teaser on what to expect in my next YouTube Video on:
Atelier John F. Clement
After my short Introduction video and the Videos about how to take the measurements and calculate the rest, to create your own personal patterns, my second demonstration will be about how to create a dress pattern that fits perfectly.
In the video, I will go through the Construction step-by-step. If you want to follow along and create the pattern yourself, you can download the Size Chart for free in the description under the Video and evt. purchase the instruction, if you don't want to look at the Video over and over again.
Here, I have placed the copied pattern on cheap cotton fabric, ready to be cut.
Notice, I have moved the upper front incision to the side, by drawing a perpendicular line to the side-seam, cutting it up and closing the upper part of the front incision. You can also do that by moving the pattern, when you copy it.
Same principal with the shoulder dart on the back. Cutting up the line from the shoulder and closing the dart in the armhole.

Here is an examples of the finished fitting model! As you can see, there are only a few minor adjustments left to make it fit perfectly.
For inspiration, take a look at Designer dresses and Wedding dresses in the Menu above, to see what's possible.
Check out the Video and let me know if you have any questions or need some help.
