You've started with skirts.
Here's the complete picture.
Every commercial bodice pattern you've ever bought has the same problem as a commercial skirt pattern: it was made for a standard body, not yours. The bodice that fits at the bust pulls at the waist. The trouser that fits the hip is too short in the rise. You've been making adjustments, but adjustments work from the outside in. Blocks work from the inside out, from your measurements, from the start.
What's included: all three pattern drafting courses
Three complete courses, added to your account today. Each is standalone, work through them in any order. Once you have all three blocks, any garment you want to design has a starting point that already fits.
- Skirt block from your measurements
- A-line, flared, and gathered variations
- Waistband drafting (multiple styles)
- High-waisted tapered skirt project
- Elena Skirt: 16-lesson design project
- Master torso block (Aldrich method)
- Bodice block development
- Any silhouette from one block
- Princess seam bodices (shoulder + armhole)
- Muslin fitting and pattern correction
- Trouser block from your measurements
- Hip and rise fitted together, from the block
- Reading and correcting a muslin
- Pattern development for fit and style
- Fit corrections by geometry, not guesswork
What all three blocks let you do
When you take on that first bodice project, you'll find the fitting conversation is different. Not "how do I adjust this pattern?" but "where is my measurement different from what this shape assumes?" That question has a specific, correctable answer. Same with the trouser. Same underlying understanding.
"I wish I'd just gotten all three at once."
One of our students bought the Skirts course, worked through it, and came back six months later for Bodices. She worked through that, and came back again for Trousers. By the time she had all three, she had paid $891 total and waited over a year to have the complete system. She didn't regret learning: she wished she'd had all three from the beginning.
The bundle is $397 today, on this page only. If you buy even one of the other courses later, you'll pay more than that for two.
