Sloper Pieces

A sloper is a basic pattern template that represents the shape and size of your body. It is used as the starting point for making garments with consistent fit. Learn more about slopers in Chapter 2 of Buffi’s Dress Design: 30 Sew Fun Styles.

How to Print and Assemble a Sloper PDF Instructions 1. Download your selected sloper(s). 2. Open the PDF(s) with the latest version of Adobe Reader. 3. Print on 8½ x 11” paper at 100%. Do not scale or fit any of the pages. You must print the document at actual size (see the test square to ensure your printer is accurate). Each sloper will print on multiple pages that you will tile and tape together. 4. Examine the sloper pages. The first page of each PDF shows a mini overview of the whole sloper (with the page divisions shown in gray lines). Uppercase letters identify each page. 5. Cut off or fold on the margins all the printed pages along the gray lines. 6. Lay out the pages on a large, flat surface or on the floor using the overview page as a guide, and line up the diamond symbols along the page edges. 7. Tape the pages together tightly along the edges once you have confirmed they are in the correct order. 8. Trim off all the excess paper along the outer black border of the fully assembled sloper. Refer to chapter 2 for instructions on customizing and using your sloper.
