The basic bodice block size 12 (cm)
Sequence
1) Square out horizontally and vertically from O
2) 1 down from O = back neck depth, 1.5 cm all sizes ( 1.5)
3) 2 down from 1 = nape to waist (40.4)
4) 3 down from 1 = armhole depth plus 4.0 cm all sizes,
suqare out ( 22.0)
5) 4 is halfway between points 3 and 1 for across back line ( 11.0)
6) 5 out from 3 = hafl bust plus 5.0 cm tolerance (48.5)
Square up to 6 and down to 7 to complete rectangle dropping point 7,1.3cm
Below waist line for a size 12. Increase this by 1.0 cm per size
7) 8 out from O = neck base girth divided by 6 plus 1.4 cm all sizes - shape back neck ( 7.5)
8) 9 out from 3 = half the across back plus 1.8 cm tolerance (18.0)
9) 10 up from 9 = armhole girth plus 2.5 cm divided by 6 (7.5)
10) 11 up from 10 = armhole girth plus 2.5 cm tolerance divided by 4. ( 11.2)
11) 12 from 9 = armhole width. ( 11.0)
12) 13 up from 12 = 10 up from 9. ( 7.5)
13) 14 up from 13 = 11 up from 10. (11.5 )
14) Construct rectangle for the armhole
15) 15 is haflway between 5 and 3 for the side seam.
16) Square down to point 16 dropping 1.0 cm below waist line for
a size 12 increasing by 0.3 cm per size.
17) 17 down from 14 = 0.5 all sizes. ( 0.5)
18) 18 down from 6 = new base girth divided by 6 plus 1.6 cm
tolerance - all sizes. (7.7)
19) 19 out from 6 = neck base girth divided by 6 plus 0.5 cm tolerance. (6.7)
20) Connect 18 to 19 for front neck.
21) 20 out from 5 is midway points 12 and 5. ( 9.8)
22) Square down to point 21, dropping 1.8 cm below waist line
for size 12. Increase this by .07 cm per size
23) 22 is midway points 3 and 9 plus 1.0 cm. ( 10.0)
24) Square down to point 23 dropping .05 cm below waist line.
25) 24 from 19 = nape to bust point minus the half back neck width. ( 26.5)
26) 25 from 24 = 1.5 cm.
27) 26 from 24 = 1.5 cm all sizes.
28) Connect 25 to 19.
29) 27 from19 = bust dart widht, plus or minus 0.1 cm per size.
Connect to point 25. (5.5)
30) Swing an arc from 9 through 11. On this arc is the back shoulder
measurement plus 1.5 cm ease all sizes. (13.0)
Connect to point 8.
31) Swing an arc from 12 through 17. On the arc is the shoulder measurement (12.0)
plus .6 cm ease, all sizes
32) Draw in armhole as indicated on diagram.
33) Swing an arc from 26 through 21.
34) Swing an arc from 15 through 16.
35) Swing an arc from 22 through 23. To calculate the amount of suppression at the
front waist and side seam follow the simple formula :
(a) measure 7 from 2 = 48.5
(b) calculate half the waist girht and add 3.5 cm tolerance = 36.0 cm
(c) subtract (b) from (a). This excess ( i.e.12 cm) is suppressed in the 3 suppression
areas in the following manner: ( 12.0)
front dart = 5 cm all sizes 5.0 cm
side seam = 4 cm all sizes 4.0 cm
back dart = 3 cm all sizes 3.5 cm
36) 28 and 29 out from 21 both equal 2.5 cm. Connect to 26 ( 2.5)
37) 30 and 31 out from 16 both equal 2.0 cm. Connect to 15 (2.0)
38) 32 and 33 out from 23 both equal 1.75 cm. Connect to 22 ( 1.75)
