The success or failure of drafting a pattern hinges upon taking accurate measurements, says King. In order to learn to take measurements correctly, students are properly instructed and checked for accuracy by the instructor. Watching King draft a pattern is watching a master at work. Meticulous in his measurements, he connects the key points effortlessly. Shoulder darts are inserted.
King adheres firmly to the formula.
After the draft is completed, the student cuts and sews a muslin. The results are miraculous. Muslin fits like a glove with no further changes. After the moulage is complete, the steps to a blouse, dress, and jacket sloper are only a few quick procedures away. At the end of the class , the student goes home with custom slopers which can be used to make patterns.
