Look at this beautiful 1944 pattern – on sale here at midvalecottage’s etsy shop.
It’s a 32″ bust – way too small for me – and having a bash at drafting this from my sloper looks like more fun than pattern grading. The shape of the pattern pieces provide a clue or two. One for the to-do list once my personal block is tickety-boo.
Make it 'til you fake it
