No need for extensive calculations and engineering - this approach is very straightforward. 

Start with a fitting pattern (a basic bodice, sleeve, and skirt, or a pant) that you can buy at your local fabric store or on Amazon.com.

Sew a version in muslin and adjust for your perfect fit, then copy the corrected pattern to make your own personal pattern block (a customized pattern with no style details).


Then use your custom block to craft sewing patterns with style lines, flare, collars, pockets, and any other details you like. Depend on your block to deliver perfect fit every time, freeing you from endless adjustments and alterations. 

Invest the time and effort now to create a perfectly fitted block, you’ll save yourself time and frustration later!

Your patterns will result in an impeccable, unique wardrobe!
