Basic Bodice Block by Dennic Chunman Lo. A Step by Step Tutorial.
Hi guys! This new tutorial about Basic Bodice from Dennic Chunman Lo the Author of Pattern Cutting. 
I’ve made some revisions to it especially the neckline formulas.
By the way guys, I used my dress form's measurements, I tried to apply the book's instructions
on different measurements to see how accurate it is, and YES! I am impressed!
At first, I admit I thought the book wasn't easy to follow that's why I gave myself a day to read the Basic Bodice instructions and it turned out to be easy.
The book isn't the same with Helen Joseph Armstong.
With Helen she has a lot of patternmaking drafts on her book, with Dennic all of his drafts are about the BASIC PRINCIPLES which is actually good and not so overwhelming.
If you're a beginner I suggest you buy this BOOK as well! It is great for beginners as it is very thorough and detailed,
