Arc-drafted 18th century stays patterning class

Описание: This is a full real-time demonstration of how to pattern 18th century stays using the "arc method". Built on the sketch and basic instructions in the back of Patterns of Fashion 5. It's a bit chaotic so please feel free to ask questions here in the comments (after watching the whole thing ^_^)!

Please see my measuring video first if you need to measure:

You can use paper and pencil for this draft (you'll need a ruler and a way to measure along curves as well) OR follow along with me in Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator! Inkscape is a free, open-source vector drawing program.
