In order to be able to accurately adapt a pattern designed for a stretch garment, it is important to :<\/p>\n
- \n
- know the size chart<\/li>\n
- position the parts in relation to the reference frame: axes, ...<\/li>\n
- know the reduction rate(s) used when designing the garment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/h1>\n
Size chart<\/h1>\n
The more information you provide in the size chart attached to the pattern, the easier it will be to adapt the pattern to your measurements and body shape.<\/p>\n
For each size, you need to know :<\/p>\n
- \n
- waist circumference* (in centimetres)<\/li>\n
- Hip circumference<\/li>\n
- Chest size **<\/li>\n
- cup size - chest size** (in mm)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Other data are also very useful:<\/p>\n
- \n
- waist - hip<\/li>\n
- Chest - Waist**<\/li>\n
- chest distance** (mm)<\/li>\n
- ….<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
* for lower bust parts<\/p>\n
** for upper bust pieces<\/p>\n
The list is not exhaustive. Depending on your morphology, certain data may be of interest: fork length, back width, anteversion\/retroversion .... But we'll look at the specifics in a future article.<\/p>\n
The first step is to identify any discrepancies between the measurements you take and the measurements on the size chart attached to the pattern. So before modifying a pattern, be sure to:<\/p>\n
1-take your measurements accurately<\/p>\n
2-choose the size from the size chart attached to the pattern that is closest to yours<\/p>\n
3-identify significant differences<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The frame of reference<\/h1>\n
This can sometimes be complicated. The reference points are not always indicated on commercial patterns.<\/p>\n
The axes to be positioned :<\/p>\n
