BODICE (male) Basic Block Pattern PDF

A basic bodice block is a fitted foundation pattern for the upper body, drafted to reflect the natural proportions and contours of the chest, waist, shoulders, and back. It is also referred to as a bodice sloper.

As the male/no bust base is not a standard base in traditional pattern making, this basic block is especially developed by founder Jordy Arthur to be able to create a bigger variety of styles for the male/no bust body.

The block is intentionally free from design details, allowing it to be used as a foundation for developing a wide range of garments. The block includes the essential shaping required to create a close, controlled fit around the chest, waist and shoulders, while allowing the necessary ease for movement.

Basic block patterns are an essential starting point for fashion students, designers, brands, and anyone wanting to make their own patterns. Print, adjust and create your own designs from a perfectly structured foundation.
