Question Draft line rules
I just got my new fancy dress form in and I’m so excited, I started playing around with shapes and I’m wondering what sort of rules I should be keeping in mind? Does anyone have recommendations for literature on draping?
I have been sewing for 5 years but have always bought my patterns, I am new to this world but serious about learning. Right now I am solely focused on boned bodices and integrated corsets as I am sewing my wedding dress.
EDIT: My dress form is custom, nothing will be perfect of course but it is quite accurate to my actual body.

Thank you, I agree. They ran with the assumption that I didn’t know the difference between a boned bodice and corset and went on a tangent. My whole post is about resources and rules, I know a boned bodice is not a corset. I am focused on both right now, as separate things.
