So I don't do much sewing with knits. I have some lovely floral scuba which I would like to use to make a skater dress with a gold exposed zip. Can I just use my standard bodice block or do I need a specific knit block? A toile seems pointless when the fabric will be such a deciding factor in the fit.
If I can adapt my standard woven bodice block is there any guidance on how much negative ease (if any) I should have? I was planning to work out the percentage stretch of the fabric and then trace off a pattern with about half this amount of negative ease. Does that sound sensible?
