What People Are Saying About Dress Shop 6

This update is just wonderful. I am truly amazed.  My grand daughter wanted an old fashioned night gown with the curved yoke and once again it suddenly appeared. Are you guys bugging my house (grin)? Thank you.

Q&A

Q:  When I draft a pattern the back bust line is always about 3 inches too low.  The front bust line is in the proper placement.  How do I adjust the back bust position without effecting the front?
 
A. Bust level in the front AND in the back is determined the same way -- by coming down from your shoulder point by the amount you have entered for Bust Depth. That is the same amount for front and back. So, if back bust level is out of place, then that suggests your back shoulder points is out of place. That is, the slope of the back shoulder line is too great.
 
If that is the case, you should increase Shoulder Slope Back until it is in place.
