First Class: we will partner up and take 24 measurements from the waist up. Must be comfortable in a bra or tight-fitting Cami or tank for the most precise measurements. It can be very helpful to draw lines directly on skin with a washable marker. If there's time, we'll get a start on drafting the bodice.
Second Class: Continue drafting, adding seam allowance. homework: cut and sew rough draft in muslin.
Third Class: Analyze and perfect fitting of bodices, making adjustments and transferring those adjustments to the paper. resew where necessary at home.
Fourth Class: Transfer paper rough draft to oak tag to create a bodice front and back sloper. Talk about adding sleeve and perhaps even taking those measurements if we have time.
