Step 1
Start from a dartless block with at least 10cm wearing ease at bust circ*, then:
- make waist length the same on back and front (reduce front length, increase back one so they both have the average waist length measurement)
- on both pieces, raise shoulder points by 1,5 to 2cm (red arrows)
- connect new shoulder points to original high shoulder points, then lengthen new shoulder lines by 4 to 7cm (red lines)
- drop new shoulder ends by 1,5cm and connect to new shoulder points (blue lines) to create dropped, slightly rounded shoulders.
