BASIC PATTERN DRAFTING TECHNIQUES - MEASUREMENTS

PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE

Students should be able to;

  1. Identify the parts of the body to be measured
  2. Taking relevant basic measurements

CONTENT

Before you measure anything

Decide: Bra or no bra? Your bust level and circumference measurement will change with and without a bra on, so if you plan on wearing a bra with your finished garment, make sure you wear one during the measuring process. Otherwise, make sure you are wearing form-fitting clothing (like a tank-top and leggings) and your typical day-to-day undergarments.
