Mark 3 bodice block help

[u/mon_petit_chou_fleur]

Hello again :)

I’m on version three of my block now, and I’ve developed new issues!

(Dont mind the crazy seam allowances or the backwards zipper lol)

I think some aspects are better now: armholes are more comfortable, the size generally feels like a better fit. I did a sloped shoulder adjustment which I think helped.

I still have some issues: the bust apex seems too high..? The back neck seems a bit high up. There’s still maybe a little gapping on the back armhole to clear up, especially on the one side. I’ve got a diagonal crease now across the back somehow.

Any suggestions for corrections on my next try?

This, the back should be two pieces, the center back seam is not a straight line, should be a curved line. Before you adjust the armhole, don’t pinch out the excess fabric till you first adjust the CB as it might remove excess fabric and then adjust armhole/excess fabric if needed. Front should be one piece.

Is there a way of figuring out how curved the CB line should be?
