I'm enjoying it so far, I think this course (and I have the book too) is a more approachable method for a beginner learning how to draft. There are other teachers here on CreativeBug that are good too. This is the class I've decided to start with.
However, just a tip: I'm in the process of drafting the back sloper, and when I went to match it to the front sloper, I realized that the armhole depth needs to be measured from the shoulder slope depth, not the neck/shoulder point.
I may have the terminology off, but you did warn us while drafting the front sloper, in both the class and in the book. But you don't remind us again when we are doing the back sloper, lol.
So you can just guess what I did, and my slopers didn't match. But I eventually caught the error...and am correcting the armhole depth now.
My only other feedback is that, though you were definitely very inclusive with the models that you used in the photos, it would have been good to see some examples of what the slopers could or should look like if you are a woman with lots of curves.
I'm average sized, but very full busted. So my sloper looks quite a bit different than your example. And darts were a necessity, though I will later learn how to manipulate them out for certain styles.

A good explanation of a complex procedure, I think I can do this though!

What an empowering class! I’m so thrilled with my end result sloper. It took several minor adjustments to reach “good enough,” and now I’m ready to tackle the Hanten Coat :)
