Here is the start of the actual drafts. You will need to reference the Miniature Draft Chart for the ease necessary for the draft. Right now I am waiting for the Miniature Draft Chart to post and will update the links to it after it does!
Measurements Needed | ||
Copy the following to your paper before you start and fill in with the correct measurements for the doll you are working with. The ones in italics can be found on the Miniature Draft Chart | ||
Full Length – Front | Back | Waist Arc |
Shoulder Slope | Side Seam Length | |
Across Shoulder | Side Seam Allowance | |
Center Length – Front | Back | Mid-armhole Mark |
Ease |

1) Full Length- a straight line the length of your full length measurement | 2) Across Shoulder- from the top of the full length line across the amount of your across shoulder measurement | 3) Guideline- square down approximately 1/2 of the full length amount | 4) Center Length- measure from the bottom of the full length line up and square in approximately 1/2 of across shoulder measurement |

5) Shoulder Slope-from bottom corner to guideline | 6) Shoulder- from tip of shoulder slope to across shoulder | 7) shoulder to center length guideline and bisected (for bisect amount see Miniature Draft Chart) | 8 ) Neck Curve Part B- from partway along previously squared line touching tip of bisect to almost center front. Leave 1/4″ square with center front line. |

9) Waist- Formula: waist arc + ease (see Miniature Draft Chart) | 10) Side Seam -square up from waist side seam length | 11) Mid-armhole Mark-measure from shoulder tip to top of side seam line and divide in 1/2. Mark out (see Miniature Draft Chart) | 12) Armhole Curve-connect shoulder tip, end of mid-armhole mark and top of side seam in a curve, maneuvering your French curve until it fits. |
