I have received lots of requests for a basic bodice pattern tutorial. It took me a while to finish this, because I didn’t want to copy any existing methods directly from a book. That shouldn’t be an issue, so I think you might be attempting to end the shoulder line at a certain point. But the shoulder line can finish anywhere along the horizontal guideline, so just make a longer guideline if it’s too short, and incline your ruler further to the right. 🙂

This is a bodice with sides unequal in shape or proportion or design. An example is a one shoulder style. Many many thanks for this inspiring piece. My sloper seem quite fine. One little observation. When i folded by front sholder dart my front piece measurement is smaller than my actual measurement.

Such a wonderful tutorial but I don’t see how I can make the bodice for a barbie, if you could help because I’m a bit confused.

Bodice continues in use to refer to the upper portion (not including the sleeves) of a one- or two-piece dress. The bodice of a dress was called the corsage in the 19th century.

The dart starts 2 cm below the bust point and ends at hipline. Thank you so much I’ve always wanted to learn how to take measurements, cut and sew any thing other than skirts.
