Clothing Pattern Modification Tips

#1Correction for a long torso body type

​

When women with long torsos try to wear jackets, blouses, or dresses that fit their bodies

You may experience an awkward fit because the waistline of the clothing is higher than the body's waistline.

I would like to propose a method to solve the problem by adjusting the upper ratio of the pattern.

​Find the areas to grow in the existing pattern as shown in <Figure 1> 

Draw the incision line perpendicular to the front and back center lines.

In this correction method, one at the midline of the vibration depth

One in the middle of the armhole line and waistline

I drew two lines.

​

If the amount to be enlarged is small, do not touch the armhole line.

Align the front and back center lines with the vertical line as in <Figure 2>

Open the incision line by an appropriate amount.

The appropriate amount of the incision along the armhole line is about one-third of the amount to be grown.

When modifying the pattern as shown in <Figure 3>, the centerline and grain direction are important, so

Proceed while checking that the center of the pattern is exactly vertical.

In the case where the armhole line is incised and enlarged as in <Figure 3>

The sleeves need to be enlarged to match the increased armhole length.

When enlarging the sleeves, depending on the sleeve shape

You can modify it by enlarging the sleeve width or raising the sleeve cap.

​

In cases where the armhole line does not drop from the shoulder to the armpit point, as shown in <Figure 5>

After applying the seam lines of the pattern pieces

Set the front and back center lines vertically and extend the length to make adjustments.

The length of the upper and lower body varies from person to person.

The most important thing is the individual or brand's

It is to accurately know the human body measurements of the target age group.

When making clothes that reveal the waistline

Fits the size of the individual or brand target age group

Adjust the back length.
