If I measured everything correctly, and if I translated those measurements correctly with all the geometry accurate, and if I added in the seam allowance correctly, and if I adjusted Dress-form Dorcas correctly, then I should have a body block! That's a lot of ifs.

| Yeah, I don't know why the picture is upside-down either. It is correct elsewhere, just Blogger can't figure it out. This is the front block all measured and drawn. |
 |
| Back block done too! |
 |
| A pretty, clean copy of the block. |
 |
| Seam allowances added, all cut out and ready to test out! |
I am really excited to get an accurate body block made--looking forward to making my own patterns and knowing how to adjust commercially made ones to fit better. We'll see how the draping process goes. I'm a little nervous about it since Dorcas isn't quite perfect. I hope we'll match well enough to work. If all goes according to plans, I'll make a sundress to practice all these new skills out on!
