This document provides instructions for drafting a basic bodice block pattern based on body measurements. It lists the necessary measurements and provides a step-by-step process for drafting the pattern by squaring and extending lines from reference points. Key reference points are determined by half the bust circumference, back neck depth, waist length, armhole depth calculated as 1/4 bust circumference, and half back width.
