Sloper to a Sleeveless Shirt

先日完成した、自分の寸法から起こした基本の型紙のフィット感を試すのに、ノースリーブシャツを作ってみました。
試作品なので、オットのお古のシャツを利用。
初めてにしてはよくできたと思うんだよね。
白いボタンがついてたんだけど、とても「男性用Yシャツ」感一杯だったので別のシャツについてた青いボタンに変えました。

Using the sloper that I made the other day from my own measurements, I made a sleeveless shirt.
Since this is sort of a mock-up, I used an old shirt that the Man of the House barely wore and had put in our yard-sale/Goodwill pile.

Since I wasn't sure how much ease the sloper had (well, I knew exactly how many inches of ease it had but you know what I mean), I kept the front button placket as is so that I don't have to worry about adding a closure or not having a closure and not being able to slip on.

I moved the shoulder dart to the side dart. I kept the waist darts front and back, and kept the center back seam for back contouring. Neck and armholes are bound with self fabric bias tape.

Since the white buttons that were originally on the shirt screamed out "men's shirt re-fashion" too much, I changed the buttons to a set of blue buttons that were on another shirt (also from MOTH in the yard sale pile).

I still have some issues with the back: I kind of knew when I finished my moulage. But I really like the fit through my shoulders and armhole. After all, this is my first ever self-drafted pattern, so I am immensely proud.

I followed Suzy Furrer's Craftsy course, "The Bodice Sloper" for this moulage to sloper process. I have to say, I really enjoyed the course and this course is worth every penny. I only purchase Craftsy course when it's on $19.99 sale and this course was no exception, but even for the full price, I think it's still a bargain to get this level of teaching without going to an actual fashion design school.

Suzy's instructions are precise and her diction and mannerism are very professional. She knows the stuff, no joke. This is the kind of instruction I expect from a professional instructor.

I like this class so much that I also purchased a skirt sloper class and pants sloper class. I will probably purchase the rest of her classes when they come on sale again. I even got her text book, which is a great reference book to have.

So, now that I have made my bodice sloper, I have to go back to my New Look 6184 project that I have abandoned midway. Hopefully, my sloper will tell me how I can fix the fitting issues I was having.
