This tutorial is for those looking to create a nice fitting strapless bodice. It utilises a bodice block, which should have already been constructed to your measurements, with very little or 0 bust ease.

You will also need your bust radius, which should be measured from your bust point to the bottom of your bust.

I only cover how to draft the pattern pieces and have assumed that you know basic sewing terminology and understand how to construct the garments.

You can find all the materials you need to start drafting your own patterns at Minerva Crafts' website bit.ly/2xSmA5X. The majority of my supplies are from Minerva.
