Drafting for Volume


The next step is really focusing in on the cups and getting the volume correct in the cups. We look for changes that are needed. Some of those changes might include, moving the apex (toward the center if they are pointing left and right or "east/west"), adding/removing volume, adding/removing gaps in the neckline. Sometimes we take a seam ripper and bust open the seams to measure how much volume is needed. Sometimes we use thread and lace up an area of the cup like a corset to hold a clipped area from spreading too much... We try to have a couple options to baste in the frame to have multiple cups to try.
