**Please note that your size here may not match your size when shopping - these are industry measurements, not retail :)
Why approximate?
These blocks are provided in grouped size ranges, but sizing is always approximate. Every body is unique, even within one size. Think of this block as a starting point, not a guarantee of perfect fit. Always make a mock-up (muslin/toile) of your block first, so you can test the fit and adjust to your own proportions and preferences. Once adjusted, you’ll have a custom block tailored to you.
Why You’ll Like It
Flexible: Comes with five sizes so you can fine-tune the fit or test across sizes. Tip: Select the size closest, or slightly larger than your measurements - taking in is always easier than letting out!
Versatile: A solid base for blouses, dresses, skirts, and full collections.
Printable on US Letter and A4 page sizes
Perfect For
Fashion students: Build your design projects on a proper block.
Independent designers: Develop new silhouettes without redrafting from scratch.
DIY sewists: Experiment with professional foundations at home.
