Hi Sarina, This is great! I have been looking for a sloper like this for ages!!

I have one question, which is: I notice in your finished garments you do not press your seams. I was wondering if there is a reason for that – perhaps that the synthetic fibers would melt with the iron?

Thanks again for helping us out 🙂

I wish I could see a picture of the top on someone. Also, would love to know how to put a cape covering on a blouse or separate. I have a group of larger gals that are in a bridesmaid group and they need something flattering for the top since the color is not going to be black.

Thank you very much, it will be so helpful to me because I’m new in sewing and learn it myself on Internet no one is teaching me

In reply to Kris.

Hi Kris
I am sorry I have no simple solution to your question. What you can do is may be paste the whole thing in a word document on google drive or something and then print – though I would prefer that you come and visit the website 🙂 Bestwishes

Re: Bodice drafting instructions. Such a GREAT resource! I only wish there was a printable version for those of us with Internet service issues or “oldies” who find screens hard on the eyes. Is there one and I just haven’t found it? When I try to “send to printer” from the website, the ads will place randomly and cover the information. Tried selecting and then “copy & paste” into a note taking iPad app (from which I can print) but only the text shows up. I’m going to use a bunch of screen shots but that makes for a much bigger file and when I print, will waste ink (being photos). I’d really prefer to spend my time sewing than fighting with technology.

In the very first draft, should’nt A-E be 7.5 ” as per your table or as per body measurement PLUS the shoulder slope of 1″ or 1.5″? Can you please clarify?

In reply to Hamisu. "3/4 Inch" would mean three quarters of an inch. Or 0.75 inch. or 75% of an inch.

Thank You Very Much For This.
My Question Is: What Does Mean By 3/4 Inch. It’s 3 Inch Half Of What, This Is Whats Confusing Me.

Thank you! I have a wonderful dress for dancing but the bodice was fitted to an alien species. Now I can replace it!
