Clothes don’t fit? Home-sewing patterns don’t fit? Not happy with what’s in the stores?
Home-sewing patterns can be graded to a custom fit!
AND when graded, the patterns preserve the original styling, unlike what happens when each pattern is fitted individually. In this post Laurel and Cheryl show how.
This is how:
Note: Grading is plotting, the procedure that involves the x-y positions taught in middle school math classes.
1. The bodice needs to be carefully fitted, as the fitted bodice will be used to correct the bodice slopers.
2. The sleeve sloper is added to the bodice and checked for fit.
3. There is no need to make a skirt muslin. The skirt can be added with just measurements.
4. If the bust fit was altered in the fitted sloper, the bust fit must be altered the same amount in the original sloper before the grading coordinates are determined.
5. The grading coordinates are then determined by comparing the corrected slopers with the original bodice slopers.
