Thank you for the clear demonstration. Have you ever watched Lifting Pins and needles? Karina has a tutorial on vertical measurements that is similar..
Hi Carol, your Haskell Shirt is beautiful, the fabric is just perfect for it 👏👏. Thank you for sharing this great information. I am really interested in seeing the Kineton dress👍👍. Take care 💕
Well, figuring that all out and having your ideas confirmed has to be exciting! (for people who sew, anyway 😄 - it's exciting to me!). Congratulations on a beautiful first pass at the blouse - I'm looking forward to seeing that dress - I think it will be lovely on you!
I have been searching endlessly for months now looking for this information. Thank you do much for sharing. The next thing i would like to know is how exactly did you move the dart? I have been struggling with darts since i started doing bodices. Again thank you for sharing.
Hi Carol, thank you for a most informative video 😊. This has helped add to my fitting knowledge enormously. Your blouse is beautiful and I think the dress looks most promising. Happy sewing. 🌸
Thanks Julia! It made sense to me too and I've been using the method with my tops now. I realize I've had my bust darts too high on a lot my makes and this has made a difference in my sewing.
It's been a bit since you asked if any of us knew of a pattern for a nice button down with Asymmetrical hem dipping on the sides instead of the front and back. Butterick just dropped one that looks similar for a knit fabric. It's B6997.
I’ve spent the last month trying to learn how to draft a custom bodice sloper in an online course that will remain nameless (not Sloper School-I haven’t had time to continue with that after making up the initial dress sloper)-and it’s been so frustrating! I’m on my third bodice mockup and the fit in the back still isn’t right. You’ve inspired me to take a break and sew up a Haskell shirt. I didn’t have the best luck with the Melody Dolman, but I think the Haskell will work better for me. Great video!
Never tried doing a self drafted bodice but I've used a Vogue sheath dress pattern bodice as my sloper for years. Any close fitting bodice pattern with waist and bust darts will work and 90% of the work is already done, you can adjust it.
I just found your channel. Please share where you learned this bodice fitting technique. I would love to dive in. I have been trying to get a good fit for a while and it hasn't worked for me yet.
Awesome! Thank you! Let know if you make up the pattern and how it looks! Our weekly zoom sewing circle has a lot of Cashmerette Club members and we make up a lot of the patterns. It's great to see how others sew up the pattern; the fabric they choose, etc. Would love to see how yours turns out!

Thank you for sharing this information! I am definitely going to take my measurements like you demonstrated. Thank you, thank you!!!!
These videos are so helpful! I love your Haskell Shirt and the fabric you picked for the Kineton Dress is very nice.

great job! I'm always analyzing/trying to find the best fit so this makes a lot of sense to me! thanks

You made that look easy! Which pattern drafting book were you referencing? I am excited to see how your dress turns out, too.

Love this. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the tips! I have a large bust too! Great info

Polly, do you have a video that shows you doing a sway back adjustment. I would love to see that.
Yay!!! I am cutting out my rhapsody blouse pattern😅😅😅
Voila!!! Wonderful for you! So exciting!
Very enlightening! This will help me tremendously.

Really enjoyed this! Now to check out the pattern. Logging into my Cashmerette acct soon! Love the pattern!
