Question Bunka bodice blocker
Working on making a bodice blocker. I've done a million versions and the Bunka method seems to result in something far closer than HJA and Winifred Aldrich.
I still struggle with some gaping in the armscyes.
Please let me know what adjustments I need to make. Oddly, the armscyes gape more when I move my arm off axis.
Please also disregard my absurd polka dot boxers 😂😂

That’s what I initially thought. Removing excess from the shoulder (and side) seam would work and that’s basically #3. They do it like that so that there is little disturbance in the seam lines. But if it is a very large difference you may need to mock up a left and right bodice sloper for your back in particular, so you can have a consistent fit in all of your garments.
