A garment sloper is a foundational pattern based on standard body measurements, representing the closest fit to the human form without design features. Its key principles include:
Standardized Fit – Built using precise body dimensions to ensure proper proportion and balance.
2. Minimal Ease – Includes only necessary wearing ease for movement, without styling details.
3. Structural Basis – Serves as a template for developing various styles through dart manipulation, seam adjustments, and added fullness.
4. Modular Design – Typically includes bodice, skirt, sleeve, and pants blocks for versatile adaptation.
5. Consistency – Enables efficient pattern drafting while maintaining fit integrity across designs.
