What is Your Workflow for Digitizing Draped Blocks?

@Pneumarian

I believe @Douglas did this last year some time, so he, if no one else, has some practical experience with your precise question. I think your process will be similar to your current method, but with the proper equations you’ll be able to shift sizes dynamically

Yes… here’s my example:

Shift Dress Pattern

This is a pattern based on a basic shift dress with gathering at the bust one of my employees draped on a dress form. We’re not sure of the exact size of the form as it was old and got recovered, but the measurements are 37-28-38 and we’re calling a size 12. What I hope you find interesting is the method I came up with - a way to code the formulas so that instead of drafting a pattern based on a system, it grades an existing pattern. How I accomplish this is to apply formulas at standard grade…
