Drafting Instructions for Women's Back Bodice Sloper

Draft pattern for women's back bodice sloper by following these manual drafting instructions, or use the form below to generate drafting instructions specifically for your measurements.

(NOTE: the instructions generated are specifically for the measurements that you enter, but then you have to actually draft (draw) the pattern by hand, following those instructions! If you'd like a more automated solution, check out Dress Shop App.)

All measurements are to be taken with the customer wearing foundation garments.
NOTE: there are NO allowances for seams; seam allowances are to be added later.
NOTE 2: wearing ease is not included, because a sloper, by definition, is a pattern for a garment that fits like a "second skin", with no room allowed for breathing, movement, etc. Wearing ease is to be added later.
