Development of a Bustier Pattern with the So’En System Basic Pattern

Abstract

The standard provisions for the use of the comparison of the size of the half circumference of the body plus five on the largest body line in making the basic body pattern of the So'En system for making bustier patterns, requires a test size (UU), shape improvement, the size and location of the coupling according to the shape of the body and the model, as well as the structural line according to the body shape of the model and the design of the model. The development of the bustier pattern using the basic pattern of the So-En system aims to obtain a bustier that has a pit body and is comfortable to wear. The research method used is the Research and Development (R&D) method with the ultimate goal of research being to produce patterns bustier which is pit body and comfortable to wear. The development of the bustier pattern using the basic pattern of the So-En system was carried out to finally produce a bustier pattern construction that is body pit and comfortable to wear. To measure the results, namely to assess the feasibility of the bustier pattern made, a validation test is carried out by expert judgment who is an expert in making dress patterns through filling out a set of validation sheet instruments. The findings show that to produce a bustier with the basic pattern of the So'En system which is body pit and comfortable to wear, (a) Preliminary study is needed, (b) Analysis of research results, (c) Development of Bustier pattern making, (d) Validation from fashion pattern making experts, (e) Revision, and (f) Finalization. The validation results from the fashion pattern making expert showed that the revised results of making the bustier pattern with the basic pattern of the So-En system were included in the "Very Eligible" category to be used as a reference in the learning process of making bustier patterns.
