 Hi,
I'm very confused about the measurement to mark the lengthwise grain line. 
I don't know why is 12cm from side line on front and 14cm from side line on back. 
If it's a fixed measurement, It doesn't suit for my bodice mesurement because I'm a bit tiny.
Help!
Thanks

Re: Drawing the Lengthwise Grain Line

Dear Array,

To draw the lengthwise grain line on your pattern pieces, you need to draw them parallel to the center front line and center back line about the middle of your pattern pieces. The 12 or 14 cm is just what happened to be about the middle of those particular pattern pieces Nehzat was working on, yours could be less or more.

 
Please let me know if this helps.

Happy Sewing,

Nehzat
