THIS LISTING IS FOR A DIGITAL DOWNLOAD, not a physical pattern. (Pattern must be printed from your home printer on standard letter size paper, and assembled). For a full size printed copy of this same item, click here: AlvaForm (Sizes 2-14) Basic Dress Pattern Blocks / Slopers (PRINTED PATTERN)

Known for their accurate fit created using real life body data, AlvaForm dress forms are a widely popular choice among fashion design institutional programs and professionals. While typically an expensive investment, the AlvaForm fit can now be achieved through these custom-made blocks/slopers.

These Basic Dress blocks/slopers were draped and trued on a genuine AlvaForm Standard Global dress form, size 8, Model 2005. The base size 8 was then digitized, and graded up and down to create the full 2-14 size run of the AlvaForm Standard Global Women series. All sizes are included in this file download, shown as a graded nest and color-coded for each size. (Sizes are also number labeled, if printing in black-and-white is desired). This PDF file also features separate layers to allow for printing of individual sizes.

A note on fit: Please observe the photos of the AlvaForm dress form proportions and review the measurement chart for perspective on the fit of this brand of dress form. AlvaForm is best suited for slightly "curvier" figures with fuller busts, and these blocks have been drafted with moderate ease for a comfort fit. If a slimmer fit and more couture shape is desired, be sure to check out my Wolf Form pattern blocks listing here: Wolf Form (Sizes 4-18) Basic Dress Pattern Blocks / Slopers (PDF DOWNLOAD)

These are pattern blocks / slopers meant to be used as templates by experienced pattern makers. They are NOT completed sewing patterns, and therefore DO NOT HAVE SEAM ALLOWANCES. Blocks include moderate wearing ease, and are made for woven fabrics with 0% stretch. See included measurement charts for exact measurements of finished garment with ease, and corresponding body/dress form size measurements.

Please note that dress form size numbers do not typically correspond with standard ready-to-wear sizing when purchasing clothing. You will want to refer to the included measurement chart to ensure proper size selection.
