Women's 12% Extended Sizing Swimwear Block

This is the Women's 12% negative eas extended sizing swimwear block. It's the ultimate tool for creating your own adult women's swimwear patterns! This block has been thoroughly tested and modelled to provide the best possible size and shape envelope for extended sizes (aka curvy sizes).
 
It has been designed specifically for swimwear with an emphasis on stability and shaping to fit a wide envelope of different body types. It's not available as a centre back fold for this very reason ... the wide fit envelope is a direct result of the centre back seam.
 
This block contains several options:
 
Undarted: suitable for up to a B Cup
Darted for A, B, C, D, E, F and G cups (but slightly compressing above and below the bust)
Pelvic Tilt from 15 degrees anterior to 10 degrees posterior
Top options include several depths of vee necklines, tank necklines and armoles, and their corresponding backs all which can be mixed and matched to help you design your own neck and armholes, all in each cup size.
Bottom options include leg line options, thong options, a cb seam cheeky option and bikini band height options (again these are just helpful guides, bit it really is up to you to design your own style).

When you need to further change the overall vertical length you do so at the waist if it's a small amount (less than 4cm),  by checking the difference between the block's nape to waist and waist to hips against those measurements on the body. Any more than 4cm and you would be advised to distribute that extra length across several places on the vertical.

There is indirect vertical negative ease included ... while that's difficult to explain it basically means I've further reduced  measurements at angles (to better balance tension) which result in a vertical shortening.
