Okay, we're ready for a basic bodice back. We have our lovely piece of Muslim with our one inch green line, one inch away from the edge of the Muslim. And we're going to pin this one each grain line onto the center back of the forum. So start with a few inches up on top, and pin your Muslim onto the forum. Now, again, watch what happens here. pinning is important.

Watch this if I put my pin in this direction, right? Watch what happens if I pull even slightly under Muslim the whole thing falls apart. So what you want to do is you want to pin your Muslim on to center back in this direction. So It anchors the Muslim onto the form so that even if I pull and you should not pull By the way, but even if I do pull on it lightly see it's not going to go anywhere. It's solid in there. Okay, I've pinned my center back onto the form.

I'm gonna start with my neckline. And just like we did in the front go up by about an inch or so, clips and up we go. And then we're going to clip downward towards the neckline. So I bet the muslin will lay flat onto the floor. Okay, put a few pins onto the neckline on the neck line. Right there.

On the shoulder, the dark here in the back line, aligning with your princess seeing the princess line. See that. So this is standard measurement, which is about an inch to inch and a quarter is the width of the Dart. So what I'm going to do, I'm going to smooth my Muslim, find where the princess line is. Put a little pain right here and put a little cross mark, like so. And then I'm going to measure an inch, an inch and a quarter.

In this case I'll do an inch This is size for form, it's really small. So do a one inch.so from my cross mark. I'm going to measure one inch right there and that will become my dark. I'm going to take this cross mark for the over to the other one, like that. And eventually this will become my dark, which you'll see in a minute. I'm going to close.

And again, all this pulling all this tension needs to be released and the way to do that is with slash will always slash towards the waistline like so. And you'll see that as you get familiar and comfortable with draping, you've know that at some point, any extra fabric that might get in the way can easily be trimmed, including the side seam, well, not the side seam but part of the side so we don't need all this fabric and keep slashing if necessary. Maybe a few more slashes towards the waistline and okay We'll put a pin where the where the waistline and the sightsee meet, we'll put a pin, we'll put a few pins onto the site seem. Okay, again, if you see that this fabric gets in a way, just go ahead and trim the fat. There we go. Okay, we're going to mark our waistline and against the bottom of the tape, we're going to mark with a side seam is and the armhole and our shoulder and neck line.

Now, I left the front on purpose pin onto the form folded over because at some point, I want to bring the two pieces the front and the back together at the side seam and at the shoulder to see if it fits correctly if the sight seems match, so there's two ways you can do that, you can either take the two pieces of muslin together and pin the two pieces together the front and the back, put pins on the side thing or another way of doing it. And again, if there's too much fabric here I'm going to trim some of this extra fabric that we don't need. Another way of matching is you take your one side and you fold it over to the other side and you pin fabric to fabric not to the form but a fabric to fabric fabric to fabric not to the form okay so there is space between the Muslim and the form and you can see then you can get a better idea.

This is a fairly Simple bodice there's not much to to look for. But still, you want to make sure that the side seams are the same length. And everything falls into into place. Now one last thing about this Dart here we haven't. We haven't done anything with this Dart, basically the Dart. here's the here's the Dart.

The Dart is usually seven inches in length. So from the waistline, you measure seven inches and that is the end of the dot the vanishing point of the Dart. Okay, next I'm going to show you how to drape a basic skirt
