    Thank you for another great video I am going to try this I bought a new dress form and have been following all your videos on muslin draping and they have worked really well but I didn’t have a pattern for stretch so this will be great for my stretch knit fabrics. As always you explain things really well and I really appreciate what you are doing 😀

    • @susaneliascouture

      All armholes are lowered from the arm plate. In knit garments its a little higher than woven garments.

    Do you have to have a dress form that is your exact size in order to make a knit block?

    • @susaneliascouture
      @susaneliascouture  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No not necessarily, if you are able to grade the pattern up or down to your size afterwards. That is an option. Otherwise, there are drafting methods that could be done as well with your body measurements. I hope that makes sense:).

      Watch the video How To Make Your Own Swimsuit and I explain a little further on the drafting method.

    Great tutorial but I always wonder about making a block/sloper on a dress form.
    Unless your body measurements are exactly the same which they almost won't ever be, what is the point? Won't you need to make one in the actual measurements of the person who will wear it?

    Great video, Susan! When you drape front and back bodices in knit, are the front and back waists the same length? In the video, they look like they're the same length. But, these seams don't join, so they don't have to be the same length. Please advise. TY!

    Is pulling the fabric going to distort the fit

    • @susaneliascouture
      @susaneliascouture  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      It all has to be balanced. Each piece needs to be equal to the piece it’s sewn to. This means you must gently stretch out only a small amount (negative stretch) equal to the other side. I hope that makes sense and helps

    This is a great video, thank you! I am trying to make an athletic crop top for a busty but slender person (34DD). I can smooth out everything from the center over and from the apex line up, but below the apex line is a mess of gathers. Am I resigned to adding darts or gathers for this young woman? Thanks!

    • @susaneliascouture
      @susaneliascouture  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Sometimes you have to place darts if the bust is much bigger than the waist. If you are not able to stretch it out with the smoothing process.

  • @svingysvingy

    I’m curious- and please forgive me if these questions have already been asked and answered here - but for what purpose have you chosen to use a 2-way horizontal stretch fabric instead of using a 4-way stretch fabric for making the sloper?
    If the fabric which I’m using to make the finished garment out of is a 4-way stretch knit, should I make a separate sloper using a similar 4-way stretch knit for that?
    And…..
    How would I compensate for any differences in amount of stretch between the sloper and the knits chosen to make actual garments?
    Thanks for such a fantastic video!!!

    • @susaneliascouture
      @susaneliascouture  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for your question. Usually the basic knit Sloper is draped in a two way stretch. If you plan to be using a 4 way stretch mostly with your block you may want to then do the Sloper that way. There shouldn’t be too much of a difference. The same method I use will allow fir the 4 way stretch. So watch the technique again carefully and see. How I did it. The beauty of the video is you can watch it over abs over. Much success to you
