Everyone loves the princess line styling because it is so flattering to your body shape. In this video, I show you how to design a shoulder princess line where the side panel wraps to the back and how to eliminate the side seam. It's an easy process and of course the fit is always suited just to you when you use the Sure-Fit Designs™ bodice pattern to draw your body blueprint.
You'll see how to draw the princess line coming out of the shoulder line and how to rotate the bust dart to open up in the shoulder line. Then watch the process of joining the front underarm panel to the back underarm panel to eliminate the side seam.

Found you again! yes! . I looked for over an hour to find you again, since you are the best pattern drafting teacher I know ( I've taken a five year break and had lost your bookmark since I've a new computer).
@Barb Kenney - thanks so much for such positive feedback - it's great to hear you learn from the lessons I provide. Welcome back to sewing and the sfd RUclips Channel
My favorite out of side seam excellent for my sewing shape thanks so much
Nona Normie - thanks for your feedback...you are most welcome.
Lovely tutorial. Thanks so much.
WONdeful tute! Thank you. I've never understood this before :)
Thank you
Wao. Very interesting. Clear instructions and simple vocabulary. I will recommend. Iwill do it.
Excellent
Great tutorial, very well explained. ( I had to chuckle at the 'Glenda, the good stitch'. Very fitting)
Thank you for your lesson. However, when eliminating the side seam in terms of following the grain line, we need to add space between the 2 pieces which may make the waist size bigger. Also, how about the back dart? How to eliminate it while keeping the same size of the waist?
thank you again. I want to design a princess steamed both on front and back w/o a side seam so I can make a 4 slit mid length dress for both summer and winter wearing by putting in a removable long sleeve under buttoned to the dress sleeve hole. I had a dress I was going to use as a pattern but nature took it from me by way of river water. long story . but I now have a good idea of how to do my desired dress.
excellent ur great in explaination its wonderful
En français ce serais merveilleux de comprendre toutes les informations si bien expliqué par une vraie professeur

Hi Glenda i like your explanation its very clear.I need ur help please.I am having a problem with dress shoulders always dropping and bra straps showing.Can you advise..Thank you so much.
Thanks you
this video helps me so much!
Thank you so much, your lessons are so helpful. How can I get some of the tools you are using to make patterns?
I'm glad you are benefiting from the lessons I provide. Depending on what country you are in will determine which of our distributors you would purchase from. Please let me know by emailing directly to info@surefitdesigns.com and I will direct you.
Apologies if this is covered in another lesson, but shouldn't the seam line at the apex on the side panel be softened (rounded) a bit?
Looking forward to receiving the shirt, dress, and pant kits I ordered yesterday. Your method is the answer to my fitting woes. And your are a teacher beyond compare.
The side panel can techniacally be any shape as the center front piece is the leading seam (It's the piece that should be up facing you as you sew). So it will maintain a nice shape to the seam.
Thank you!
You are awsome!!!!!
Thanks.
Very interesting! Thank you! 🤔👍
You are most welcome!
Glenda, I loved this presentation. I have a question. In balancing the grainlines on the side panel, you added waist circumference. What would you recommend to remove that excess?
+Taylor Knighte Personally, I do risk changing grainlines in altering patterns / combining pattern pieces, and find it's usually not such a big deal if the directions of the two grainlines I'm combining aren't too different. You just have to be more careful sewing if it puts a seam a little bit more on the bias than it previously was, and take care that the change doesn't put bias somewhere you don't want much stretch and distortion. So here in this case, you'd probably want to preserve the grainline of the front piece or make the new grainline closer to that one, because otherwise it's going to play some havoc on your bust and armscye / shoulder; it would be less of a problem to adjust the back piece to that front grainline, at least if the back piece doesn't go all the way to the shoulder as well, which it doesn't here.
Well, that's my theoretical answer: I haven't done this particular adjustment yet, but I'm drawing these conclusions from experience with other adjustments, and from the fact that 18th century bodices did have front pieces wrapping all the way to the back, putting some bias to the side-back part, and clearly it worked for them on a closely fitted bodice. :-)
beth12svist I definitely see your point. I was thinking, increasing the dart intake in the front bodice, if you picture the intake increasing, you can see the side seam become much straighter to the center back. Then when "mapping out" the design lines, it wouldn't be much of a drastic alteration of the grain.
I'm not sure I understand it in the terms you put it - English isn't my first language, you see, so while I can use it really well, from time to time I still run into a wall... But if my understanding is what I think it is, my thinking went that way, too, and then I realised taking in the darts was, basically, just arriving at the base shape created by joining the pattern pieces at the start, in a complicated backtracking way, if you see what I mean.Taylor Knighte
@Cheryl S: You don't necessarily need a mannequin. What you definitely do need is good eyes, a good large mirror, good light, and a lot of patience - it's going to take years to get there, but it's definitely worth it.
Without a mannequin, you're probably going to need a fitting partner who will occasionally mark and pin things for you in the back.
Hey! Do you have a tutorial on how to make the pattern for the garment on the mannequin? The one with the little dart????
Doesn't the back alteration change the armseye? How do you maintain arm & sleeve fit?
Good job. ..
Please how do I get your drawing/ instruments.I am in Nigeria.
you are so so so talented. I want to learn how to sew as you do. Do I need a mannequin?
The shoulder now has a dart, if I sew the two together; the neck opening is wider. What is the solution?
because of surger done for breast cancer , my breast are not always the same size. Pads get quite expensive. I feel that a pincess line is not quite right for me. Do you have a rexomendation for my situation?
Mary Burt - Actually, I think a princess line might be a good choice if you have first of all drawn a right and left side pattern - one side with a smaller dart.. But another nice alternative would be to transfer the darts to the shoulder line then sew as a release pleat (not a finished dart). And perhaps another alternative might be a cowl neck blouse as there would be enough draping in the front to camoflage one side to the other.
I really like your lesson also i want to get your lesson book. How can I order. I am in Myanmar country. Please advise me my lovely teacher.

Do you have pattern video done?
@Elizabeth Mengistu - I'm sorry but I don't understand your question.
One question. What did you do with the back dart? It was not addressed in the video. Thanks GLenda.
it is also in the back waist as loosen ，but not drawing
but what would be the process if it is a whole body hugging gown without sideseam...the upper bodice things I got it but what if we add a skirt for a whole gown how to eliminate sideseam??? if I follow same method fitting won't be good enough.? waiting for ur reply
You need to design/draw the skirt without a side seam and extend the princess seam down through the hip fitting darts. All shaping would need to be accomplished on the princess seam as you would not be able to shape the waist hip curve if you've eliminated the side seam. I do not have any videos showing this process.
plz hindi

Good , I do not speak English , I ask not have a page translated in Spanish like you, !!!
