Hello.  I drafted the back bodice pattern and would like to cut it out.  I am not sure which lines to follow.  I will want to put a zipper in the back and not sure what to do with the center back dart.   Would I cut from F to -E-H-U-X-S-B-D- and back to F.

Hi Phusch, If you want to sew

Hi Phusch,

If you want to sew the zipper at the center back, the line is from M to F, but you need to add a seam allowance of about 2.5 cm. Around the neckline you can add about 1.3 cm, for the shoulder about 2 cm, for the armhole about 2 cm and for the side seam about 2.5 cm.

If you have a seam at the waist line you should add about 2.5 cm here as well.

You can watch this chapter in the Dress with Pleated Skirt Video Lesson:  http://esewingworkshop.com/video-lesson/9-adding-seam-allowances-patterns to get a good idea on how to add seam allowances.

Hope this helps,

Nehzat
