In my previous blogposts I forgot to mention one more advantage of using Seamly2D Patternmaking Software – a friendly multilingual Seamly2D forum community. Should you have any question or idea (concerning patternmaking difficulties, compatibility problems, etc.) you may write it immediately to the forum and receive almost immediate advice, solution or support.
For example, this week I have been striving to find the topic for my following blogpost. And suddenly I’ve discovered a discussion about the best way to draw a dolman sleeve in Seamly2D. Actually, there are several methods to do that, and it will take me many hours to tell about all of them.
But now I would like to show how easy it could be to implement one of dolman construction method in Seamly2D.
So, I have pattern pieces for back and front bodice.
And a pattern piece for a usual set-in sleeve.
Then I just draw my dolman part on the bodice (I have an arched dolman).
And use “Move Object Tool” to move this dolman part to the sleeve.
And finally I use a “Rotate Object Tool” to glue my dolman part to the cap of the sleeve.
I repeat the same with the front pattern piece and draw four additional curves to finally shape my dolman sleeve.
Here is my dolman blouse in Details Mode.
And here is the final result.
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial! Download Seamly2D now from https://seamly.io.
What a beautiful dress. I love the way the stripes hang different directions which makes it visually interesting

I misspoke. I thought I saw a dress, when in fact the beautiful garment is a blouse. This would look well with striped pants or black or white. Add a skirt and it will make a travelling wardrobe

This is a pure cotton blouse, but not for a travelling wardrobe. I would say, this is a part of a kid’s playground wardrobe )))

Hi @benjisaccaggi!
You need Windows 8, Mac OSX 10.10, or Ubuntu 14.04. Versions for Arch linux and Suse linux are also available. What’s your operating system, and what are your system specs?

One problem I found here is the sleeve you refer to as raglan is in fact a dolman.
