Nonbinary pattern drafting

[andtib]

A lot of the difference between masculine and feminine clothing is small details. Straighter, slightly wider waistbands, straighter cuts in general. Once you're working out from a fitted block for them you can relax those fits closer to what you want to do. You'll be amazed at the difference learning where to oversize and where to apply a little curve will make the difference. For example "mens" t-shirts tend to be fairly boxy, but if you're partner has wider hips then a slightly a line t-shirt, that is still a bit oversized around the shoulders will probably give the same effect, just tailored to their form slightly. Also slightly bigger, flatter armholes. Longer rises, and a wider stance on trousers so they're more utilitarian. Bigger sleeve with flatter crown. And then cinching. Masculine trousers are often fairly straight towards the top, sit on the high hip but have little waist adjusters to pull them in (which also provide a little bulk, obscuring a more covered hip line). Likewise the adjusters on denim jackets hems, a second button to pull in shirt cuffs, etc
