What's in the kit

Each CLIQD Pattern Kit contains a professionally-fitted block and a step-by-step guide.

This kit comes with:

Block - 1 x A0 page
Guide - 60-page A5 book

Or you can purchase the block and guide separately.

Use kit for

This block is for woven (non-stretch) fabrics and can be used to create:

Fitted (or partially fitted) dresses, tops and skirts, or
As a base to drape on.

PLEASE NOTE: Bust dart can't be rotated

This block combines the two darts on a traditional Torso block into one, non-pointy bust dart. Because the dart is so sculpted the dart can't be rotated.

If you want to rotate darts, or use them to create volume (e.g. gathering/ruching & pleats), please purchase the Torso (2 dart fitted dress) kit.

Size guide

This block is fitted to the body’s contours (skin tight).

FIND YOUR SIZE (see image 5)

Select mannequin (a.k.a dummy) or fit model (i.e. person) you will fit your design on.
Measure bust (A), waist (B) and hip (C). Hip is 20 cm below waist.
Find size in the Body Measurement Chart (image 5 on the left) with the measurements closest to your bust, waist and hip measurements. If you are in between sizes, go up a size.

EASE

The block doesn't include ease. It's measurements are exactly the same as the body's measurements.

If you want ease, go up a size – this will give you 5 cm of ease.

MEASURING TIPS

Make sure the measuring tape is parallel to the floor.
If measuring a fit model, take the measurements against the skin (i.e. not over clothes). The measuring tape should sit firmly, but not too tight.
Measure the bust at the fullest part of the chest and the waist at the narrowest part of the waist.
