This was the most informative session I have watched. I have desired to create a bodice pattern for some time now. I have watched so many tutorials only to be confused more than I was before. I just want to THANK YOU for clarity. I FINALY understand! THANK YOU AND THANK YOU!
The calculations provided take into consideration the stretch of knit fabric, allowing for expansion and contraction. By modifying the measurements accordingly, a proper fit is achieved that accommodates the fabric's stretch. This is the reasoning behind the calculations.
Love this tutorial. How do you draft a dartless skirt pattern for knits for someone who has a bigger behind requiring the back pattern to be drafted differently from the front?
Hi Gigi thank you so much for this ....If lets say you want to change the neckline ,how do you do that? Any subtractiions or additions?....i would like mine to have a queen anne neckline or square
Hi, So I have a pattern but it’s for non stretch fabric. I want to use the pattern for stretch fabric but obviously the dress ends up being too big. Can you please help? Thank you
Yes, because here in the UK, we mainly use centimeters for measurements. Recognizing international differences in units, I also provide the equivalent in inches for clarity and easy comparison.
I believe it is because with stretch fabric, if you dont take it in a little (so by dividing by 1.1 you substract an equal amount to all your measurements) the garment will be too loose
I don't understand why measure the shoulders like that, 1/2 of the shoulder is 1/2 from the top of the shoulder to the base of the neck right? Please ,explain this for me😢
She's using from the shoulder tip where the arm meets the shoulder to the high neck point where the shoulder meets the neck, so half of that measurement.

Great, easy video. THANKS !!!!!!!!!
Thank you! I’m so glad you found it helpful! 🎉
Thank you so shearing for how to draw stretch bodice pattern. I tried. It was really good fit. Everyone who sewing must try your pattern. 👍👍♥️😍
Thanks for this - I will try this. Though would be nice to know why you are dividing, multiplying and taking away.

Thank you!! It makes sense!
You are welcome! 🙏
Thank you!
You are welcome 🙏🏽

Hi Gigi, Iam a self taught sewist, I have a question. Why do you divide by 1.1 by 4 and why do you minus 1cm from the shoulder to waist measurement?
Thank u soo muchh

Hi,

Can you please help?
Thank you
Hi ma thank you for this awesome video, God bless you . But ma I’ve a question how many percent stretch fabric can this pattern work for?
Did you cut the front piece on the fold also, or just the back piece?
Is this pattern draft good enough for most knit fabrics ?
I recommend it for most light to medium-weight knit stretch fabrics.
Do you use centimeter for all measurements
Yes, because here in the UK, we mainly use centimeters for measurements. Recognizing international differences in units, I also provide the equivalent in inches for clarity and easy comparison.
Do you add an amount to the pattern for seam allowance?
You can add a seam allowance to your final pattern.
@@GigiZanti Thank you!
You are welcome, hun!
How to create a pattern on raglan sleeves using elastic fabric without darts.
Pls why did you divide by 1.1
