 Hello Nehzat, 
Please I am watching the videos on Bodice drafting. Please explain why we are dividing the difference between the waist and hip measurements in other to calculating the dart intake.
Thank you in anticipation to your response.

Re: Boat shaped Neckline

Dear SaimaSaliha,

To make a boat shaped neckline, start working on the front bodice pattern.

Measure in, the amount you like along the shoulder line from the neckline to widen the neckline. Then measure down along the center front line to lower the neckline if you like to lower the neckline as well. Draw an inward curved line starting from the mark on the shoulder line, when you approach the center front mark make sure to draw the line straight with a 90 degree angle to the center front line.

Now fold along the front shoulder line and place it on the back shoulder line, while matching the armhole sides. Transfer the shoulder mark from the front bodice to the back bodice, then draw the new neckline on the back bodice pattern.

When drawing the inward curve for the neckline on the back bodice pattern, you can merge the neckline with the old one along the center back, or lower the center back of the neckline as well. Make sure the new neckline on the center back is at a 90 degree angle as it approaches the center back line.

Hope this helps you out.

Happy sewing, 

Nehzat
