Child Bodice Block
Body Measurements

Chest = 22 inches
Waist = 21.5 inches
Cross back = 9 inches
Waist length = 9 inches
Finished Dress Length = 20 inches

Constructions Lines of bodice block
1 Draw a line segment AB of 12” (1/9 of chest + 1).
2 Draw another line segment BC of 9” (waist length).
3 Join AD and DC. Mark the midpoint of AD as E.

4 Mark the Midpoint of AE as F.
5 Mark the midpoint of AF as G.
6 Mark a point H on AB so that AH = 2.2” and point O on AD so that AO = ½”. Join OH by drawing a curve.
7 Mark a point I on GG’ so that GI is 4.5” (½ of cross back).
8 Join HI and extend it to J so that IJ = 1/2”.

9 Drop a perpendicular from I on EE’.
10 Mark the midpoint of EE’ as K. Join JK by drawing a curve.
11 Drop a perpendicular from K on DC at L.

12 Mark points M and M’ on either side of L (½ “) Join KM and KM’.
13 Mark a point H’ on AB so that H’B = 2.2” and N on BC so that BN = 2.5”.
14 Join HN by drawing a curve.
15 Join H’I and mark a point J’ on H’I so that H’J’ = HI.
16 Drop a perpendicular from J’ on EE’ meeting FF’ at P.RP = ½”.

17 Draw a curve joining points J’,R and K. (Fig 1)
