In this video, Izzy explains how to adjust a bodice block for individuals with uneven shoulders or significant differences between the left and right sides of their body. She emphasises that while minor discrepancies are common and shouldn't be overcorrected, significant differences require separate alterations for each side.

Izzy guides viewers through the process of duplicating their bodice block, creating separate left and right pattern pieces for both the front and back. She stresses the importance of accurately labelling each piece to avoid confusion, noting that the "right" side on the screen corresponds to the "left" side when worn, and vice versa.

Once the blocks are duplicated, viewers can apply specific fit adjustments to each side independently. Izzy refers to previous videos that cover various shoulder adjustments, such as raising or lowering the shoulder line, changing armhole depth, or altering bust dart placement.

The video highlights that this technique allows for tailored adjustments to address issues like square or sloping shoulders, prominent shoulders on one side, or differences in armhole size. Izzy encourages viewers to identify the specific side requiring adjustment and apply the necessary alterations.

In essence, Izzy demonstrates how to prepare a bodice block for asymmetrical adjustments, providing the foundation for a more accurate and comfortable fit.
