A sloper, or a basic pattern block, is a really useful tool for creating your own designs, but making a bodice and sleeve sloper from scratch can be quite complicated. In this video, I’ll introduce you to BlueHours Atelier which has bodice sloper patterns for sizes 30 B to 48 D, and then I’ll show you a bit about how to tweak a pattern to improve the fit.
