      Yes, it would move the bodice up or down by the amount you've added or taken away when you make the adjustment, which would effect where darts and waist are positioned.

    What fabric do you suggest for a stretch garment mock up? I usually use muslin but since it has no stretch I'm worried it won't reflect the final fit.

    • @SeamworkVideo
      @SeamworkVideo 13 днів тому

      The best practice is to make a mock up in the same fabric you plan to use for the final garment, since that will give you the exact same stretch and drape. If that isn't feasible, then definitely find a stretch fabric that is close in weight and stretch percentage to your final fabric.
