Pattern Construction of Top

 

 Wanted to get rid of the dart at the waist line, to create a unfitted style, so I deleted the dart point and combine/merged the line.

I wanted the fullness of the top mainly in the side seam, to create this boxy style, so I used the tapered fullness seam adding 3.22cm.

 

Folded and closed the dart

 

Adjusted the back piece in a similar way, deleting the dart point.

 



 

Combine/merge the line.

 

Using the tapered fullness tool to add 3.22cm fullness to the back piece.

 

To get rid of the dart out the back shoulder, the armhole needs to be adjusted.

 



Move smooth vertical line tool to add a few mm to the tip of shoulder at arm hole. Using the rotate dart tool, 0.33cm of the dart was rotated into the arm hole. The point of the dart was then deleting and then the lines were combined and merged. Then at the shoulder line, the line was deleted where the dart was previously, to straighten it. 

 

Adding length to the top by using the move offset, adding 10cm.  

 

Then add same to the back.

 

The sides of the top were measured, and then using the digitised line to create the panels. Instead of incorporating the dart into the panels, I used the dart shape as part of the line panels; this meant the chest would be fitted and show clean panels without a dart being stitch in. 

Using the trace tool to trace off the pattern pieces.

Added a 1cm seam allowance and then renamed the pieces accordingly.
