Women's 12% One Piece Block (Swimwear)
If you want to make custom or ready to wear swimwear (non-reversible) then this is the block/sloper you need.
This block is designed according to my multi-shape concept: it will suit as many different figure shapes within that size range by being adjustable
It has built in full bust adjustments so you can choose your cup size accurately (by the difference between bust and under bust measurement). You can select a different top half to the bottom half, to mix and match sizing.
It has 6 built in pelvic tilt adjustments, four different leg line guides and two thong line guides to choose from.
You can use this block/sloper to make any swimwear pattern design ... there are tutorials for various different styles and their components in this website too. It's based on 12% negative ease so will be body contouring and stable when wet. It suits most average weights of spandex with moderate rebound tension (around 150-210gsm).
This block/sloper set is NOT suitable for reversible swimwear which requires much less negative ease due to its stiffness and lower shape conformity.
These blocks do not have matching arm or leggings blocks. If you wish to make swimwear tops, for example, with arms then it's better to use the softer 8% blocks.
This base block/sloper set contains 13 individual sizes in 2cm increments, to suit ...
- Under Bust: 66-90cm
- Waist: 60-84cm
- Hips: 85-109cm
Note: because the full bust adjustments (B to F) are selectable layers within the block you need to choose your block by UNDER BUST measurement, and not by bust measurement. The full bust adjustments represent a difference between bust and underbust of 10.5cm up to 25.5cm.
