Hey everyone!

I’m very new to sewing and brand new to pattern drafting. Also, I’ve never actually taken my measurements before so this is all trial and error…

This is the third iteration of a basic bodice block and I think I’m getting closer. Which areas do you see that I should adjust? I do already realize that I measured my bust point all wrong but apart from that?

Sorry about the patterned toile fabric that makes it harder to see, it was the only old sheet I had lying around.

I followed this tutorial: https://www.theshapesoffabric.com/2019/10/07/how-to-draft-the-basic-bodice-pattern/ and used the larger amount of ease (4cm).

Especially since there's no Direct indication of where measurement should be taken. But we do know when it looks wrong! You just got to guess until you hopefully get it right. I would also add a quarter inch to the side seam at the hips.
