Draft the Bodice Block - Part 1 - The Back Bodice

CORRECTIONS! At 0:57 add another 2" (5cm) to the width to avoid Back and Front overlapping. At 2:28 I should say 'larger or smaller respectively' - The Nape line will be lower in larger sizes and higher for smaller sizes.

There are few things more creative than apparel design! Drafting Blocks and Pattern Cutting. We start with the Back Bodice - I show you how. I'm using both Imperial and Metric measurements.
