When you have joined the side seams, the top of your vents are pretty much even as is your vent marks. When I have stitched my side seam, there is a difference of 4.7cm with the tops of the vents and, of course the vent markings. I have gone back and maticulously checked everything. I have found that the vent marking on the back pattern measures 26.8cm from the btm of the pattern. The measurement given for the side panel vent is - 31.5cm from the btm of the pattern(plus the 2.5cm added to both measurements). A difference of 4.7cm! Hip line, chest line, and btm tack markings on the back and side panel are matching perfectly.
Thanks again for the wonderful content! Just a quick question: why does one need to curvue slightly inwards the lower halh of the front edge on the traditional model and not on the pagoda one ?
No specific reason. You can curve in the lower half on the pagoda model as well. At this baste fitting stage, this is just a very small detail that does not have significant impact. I try to make both as different as possible just to show the possibilities. Reza
Question regarding “edge to fold transfers”: Why wouldn’t you clip into the convex/concave curve to “open it up” per se and then iron the seam allowance open like you would in traditional sewing? Is this a specific technique to tailoring when approaching convex/concave curves? It seams both ways would work but because I’m new to tailoring I don’t want to make a mistake.
Good question. Clipping in to the seam allowance will just release the tension in a concave (not convex) edge. And it will only go up to where the clipping stops. But this technique brings the concave edge shape onto the surface of the fabric, beyond the sewing line and turns the flat surface into a "concave" surface. AKA Negative surface curve. Does this answer your question? Reza
Thanks Reza.

Hello Ross,
Please ignore the difference in the vent markings and follow the ones on the back. That one always has priority.
