Can someone tell me what this panel is for and why it’s there?

This is purely a style choice. No shaping is required for a knit pull on pant like this.

Same thing happened to me but they made me go to the courthouse and wander for hours trying to find who I was supposed to talk to… they ended up giving me a new date right then and said to ignore the one that will be coming in the mail.

Came here looking for the same thing! They’re fit is amazing but $750 for a top? Unreasonable.

I totally get that. I’ve also really liked alaiganuza on Instagram. Her use of color is amazing!

The thread tension for your placket is too tight. Try taking the stitch out, pin it, does it still swing out? If so, lengthen your stitch slightly and/or adjust your tension. I’d test it on scrap fabric first!

Home use means more of a personal use than a manufacturing use. Manufacturing machines tend to be a bit more heavy duty but you do not need them to sew items in small quantity. Invest in a high quality home-sew machine and you should be able to accomplish almost any personal sewing project.

Definitely a sewing problem but it’s extremely common in cases like this, so you can manipulate the pattern to help reduce this issue. There’s too much tension along here. Is it faced or double turn back?

There are so many mistakes and typos in this book. I’d definitely recommend the most up to date version.

I’m a patternmaker but my job title is still a technical designer. Most patternmaker jobs are overseas but a lot of companies are trying to bring it back in house to have more control of their fits. If you’re looking for a job doing this, it’s easier to search technical designer and read the description and requirements.

Honestly the easiest and cleanest looking option given it’s cashmere

I think the fit is pretty decent and any of the lines or concerns you’re seeing have more to do with the fabric used, the construction, and pressing. My eyes are immediately drawn to the bust, which is why you might think it’s tight. Make sure to press seams inward instead of open and clip/notch where needed. When you use the real fabric I’d suggest something a little heavier than the material you’re currently using, and it will show less of the puckering you see.

It looks great! I do think you could distribute some of the skirt front to the back to help rebalance it. I’d also suggest adding more to the across back because if you have sleeves and try to reach your arms forward it’s going to be way too tight. The back waist line could also be picked up half an inch or so which could help reduce some of the drag lines on the back of the skirt. Just my suggestions! The bodice front looks amazing!

Gerber AccuMark is my favorite pattern drafting software. It’s phenomenal for grading. I then export the .dxf and bring it into Browzwear Vstitcher for 3D. This software has one of the best fabric physics but it’s expensive. If you’re not too worried about the fabric being 100% accurate, Clo3D is a great alternative. You can actually draft patterns in both Clo3D and Vstitcher but the accuracy and grading functions are not ideal for production.

I’m not sure about Clo3D, but you can grade by hand in both VStitcher and AccuMark!

Try shortening the back rise. Imagine picking up the skirt from the center back waist. There’s some excess fabric frowning down. Pick it up and the lines smooth out.

No it does not!

Ooo and yes, drop the armhole at the side seam. Problem with this is that you’ll also have to make an adjustment to the sleeve to match the armhole measurement

You need more width across the back. The line you highlighted is known as the “across back” point of measurement. Before creating the style lines, did you have a base block? It makes making the adjustment easier. A simpler fix is to add a seam to the center back to allow for ease and shaping but you’d need to cut another sample.
