Well today we may not have the block pattern from scratch video, but we do have this very detailed explanation of why you may secretly already have a bodice block pattern hiding in your pattern stash!
And yes, this could have been a very short video of me saying "modify a similar dress pattern from your stash, k bye" but instead I wanted to be super detailed for the beginners in the crowd. As usual, feel free to ask me additional questions you may have and I'll do my best to answer them if I can!
