d Seam Allowance as Desired to all the above drafts Alteration For Shoulder Drop
Points ( 1 - 6) of Back Draft Assume that the Bust Round = 42" and Shoulder to
Shoulder width = 17" We need to find if the person has proportionate shoulder wi
dth & bust round The formula to do so 1/2 Bust + 1" = Shoulder to Shoulder Width
In this e.g., 42/3 = 14 + 1 = 15" But the Shoulder to Shoulder width here is 17
" So it is Broad Shoulder & Narrow bust line In this case we have to make use of
the Shoulder Width we got using Bust Measure ment formula i.e., 42/3 + 1 = 15"
1 - 6 in the Back Blouse Draft will be Half Shoulder i.e., 15/2 = 7.5" Note: Sho
ulder - Shoulder / 1 + 1/2 was the Draft But 1/2" is already added in this case
as 1" was alread y added int he formula As the Neck Drop is upto Personal tastes
, that will also affect Shoulder slope. See the Saree Blouse Draft Tweaks post f
or further details on this Note that 3/4" Shoulder slope is standard and needs t
o be modified to fit the cu stom body shape and also on neck depth and shoulder
strap width
1/2 Bust + 1" = Shoulder to Shoulder Width
