Drafting Basic Shirt Block

Ughhhhhhh let me count the ways that I dread drafting a basic block. I have drafted a block for myself once before and it came out pretty good but, the back piece was about 2 inches shorter than the front. So instead of fixing the block I screamed at my mother (who took the measurements I couldn't) and tossed it in the trash... Oh how much do I regret that move right now? But anyway I broke out my Patter Making for Fashion Design book by Helen Joesph-Armstrong this morning.

I made a Word document to keep track of all my measurement like the chart in the book. So this way don't have to write in my book. Yes its mines but I just hate writing in my books.

So when all is said and done I should have a block that looks something like this...

I found a much simpler way of drafting a basic block that will only take 30 steps (30 mins) from BurdaStyle.com http://www.burdastyle.com/techniques/constructing-the-basic-bodice-block But as it says on the burdastyle website women with D breast or above will benefit from more measurements because it will provide a more accurate fit. 

   I have the day off so I hope to have these measurements done by tonight. As I said before I need my mom to help me. More so when it comes the back measurements.
