Rendering Error for #63 Bodice Sloper Y

Rowan Winterstorm

I fully admit this is most likely a "user / operator" caused error but any help would be greatful!

I tried this in 2022 received similar rendering errors and felt I just was not educated enough and had input something wrong. I have a good friend who is a retired seamstress and asked her to help me get accurate measurements with the website open.

This is what error I received today along with the bodice sloper, collar, and sleeve choices.

There was a rendering error. REF #652d41470498c

#63 Bodice Sloper Y
#35 Mandarin Curved Collar
#41 Basic Sleeve

The page says my measurement set meets all requirements.

Please help! I am 47yo, been sewing from store patterns for decades, but do not consider myself proficient in understanding pattern making. Ideally, eventually am looking to create Liturgical robes and vestments but wanted to start with a simple long sleeve shirt first.

I absolutely will be contributing to Patreon regardless as I support the mission of patternmaker and fashioner, even as I know I am SO NOT A PATTERN DESIGNER lolol

Thanks

Hi Rowan,
Please give me a bit to look into this. Thanks for the great explanation. We can't assume it is user error. Sometimes it's not you. 😉

Could you provide me with the Measurement Set reference number that you used for this draft? (My Account > Measurement Sets tab > Ref)

Hello and THANK YOU!

The measurement set Ref# is 14474

Rowan,
Question for you. When you say "The page says my measurement set meets all requirements." what do you mean? Did you run the Test on your measurements? You would want to run the Test Detailed Measurement with Bodice Front.

When you first start the test it says "The measurement set you selected has all the required measurements for this test.". Did you see this and think that it passed the test? This just means that all the measurement values are in the set that are needed for the test. Then you hit Continue to actually start the test. I need to change that wording. It is confusing.

There is no way your set 14474 passed this test. I think if you run it you'll find where there are some issues. It looks like your shoulder slope might be a little long or it could be your full length front is a bit short. As you walk through the test it should explain these things to you.

One thing that this test doesn't look at is the height, which you have set to 6. I think you meant 6' which should be entered as 72". This caused some problems, too.

Run the test and see if the explanations make sense. If they don't, let me know and I'll try to help.

Again Thank you! See user error, I did see that the detailed test said "has all required measurements" and did think that meant I was good to go, but that is truly due to my error not necessarily the way you worded it!

This is just a joke Yes I mean 6' what is this hearasy called an "inch"? Must be some evil, vile contraption like horseless carriages! Lololololololol

Again many thanks!

Speaking of heresy, how about an American that puts aside both inches and feet and uses metric? I have been ridiculed for that. (Not kidding, kinda sad actually.)

Rowan Winterstorm

Lori very sad and totally uncalled for. Well, you have my support regardless how what measurement system you use!

Rowan,
I made some upgrades to the Tester and I think it is a little more user friendly. You should be able to see the shoulder point intersection error better. Also, I ran the Detailed Bodice Back on your measurements while testing. It looks like your Mid-Arm Width measurement is incorrect. Mid-Arm width is typically less than both the Chest Width and Shoulder Width. Yours is much greater. You can run the back tester to see what I'm talking about.

You are a perfect test case for me, as the system needs to be beginner friendly. There are images and descriptions next to each measurement input field. Were these descriptions hard to understand? Could I improve the images? I'm simply not a good judge, as I know what I'm doing. I need feedback from people who don't have my experience. You're perfect!
