The Costumer's Manifesto is written by Tara Maginnis, and proudly hosted by William Baker.

THE MANIFESTO IS MUTATING!  IT IS TURNING INTO A WIKI THAT CAN BECOME THE HIVE MIND OF ALL COSTUMERS, FINALLY LIVING UP TO IT'S SLOGAN: "COSTUMERS OF THE WORLD, UNITE!" YOU CAN HELP IN THIS PROCESS BY MOVING PAGES TO THE NEW SITE AT THECOSTUMERSMANIFESTO.COM, HELPING TO EDIT THE PAGES THAT ARE THERE ALREADY, AND ADDING YOUR OWN ORIGINAL INPUT.

Costume Design & Construction

Fitting a Basic Block Pattern Project

 What you need a basic block pattern, most large patterns companies make these. Fabric Buy the pattern by your measurements not the size you wear in ready made clothes.

Follow the instructions and construct the basic bodice. Have some one help you fit the bodice. You want it to fit like a second skin.  It will fit tighter than a normal bodice because a block pattern has eliminated most of the wearing ease.
