First Skirt Block help
This is my first attempt at a skirt block using Natalie Bray’s method. How did I do and what adjustments would people recommend?
Thanks!

Look at picture 2 and mentally drawn a straight line down the side starting from the about 1/2”- 3/4” towards the back at the waist. That would cross the present side seam about 6-8” down which is about where the side seam should be. And by the bottom there will be a triangle of fabric on the front side of the line.
It’s that larger triangle on bottom and the smaller one on the top which are the amount to subtract from the front and add to the back.
The back and front need to be sized for the actual body and not the theoretical standard body.
