From Cashmerette Patterns:
Create a well-fitting sloper with the Wyman Dress Sloper sewing pattern, your starting point for a whole wardrobe of possibilities! When you have a base sloper pattern that fits you beautifully, you can transform it into an infinite number of garments, knowing that each one will fit you perfectly! Plus, you can use it to help you adjust other sewing patterns to fit you (skipping extra muslins and time) instead of starting from scratch every time you try a new pattern.
But most draft-it-yourself sloper guides aren’t designed for curvy bodies, and they can be complicated and time-intensive to create—so that’s where the Wyman comes in! With the Wyman, we’ve done the main drafting for you (including our famous C-H cup sizing) so that you can focus on tweaking the fitting sloper to achieve your preferred fit. The Wyman is a PDF pattern for a darted dress that features a fitted bodice, straight skirt, long sleeves, and sloper-specific details like 1″ seam allowances to help you on your fitting journey. And then you’ll learn how to hack it into loads of different styles in this month’s masterclass!
