Hello Kim. Thank you for this content. It was really helpful. However, I'd like to kindly ask if you could make a content that gives a bit more information as to how to determine the other body measurements such as the shoulder, backwidth, etc. when the bust, waist and hip measurements have been figured out to make patterns. Thank you 😊.

Hey there are calculations and formulas to work out shoulders, armhole and so forth, that’s what I have done
@ann-ellewilliams64202 жыл бұрын
This was so helpful. I have a question though. If let’s say the ‘competitors’ you choose, some have ranges to their sizes. Eg. Small 34-35 (bust), 26-27 (waist) and 35-37 (hips). When finding the average and including a competitor like this one, which number from the range should I choose to calculate the ‘average’?

Hi Kim. Thanks for the video it has given me a good insight but my question now is how do I know where to put the measurements ie bust, waist and hip. I mean where should the half length be? Where should the bust be and also the hip? Some ladies’ bust point can be 9” from the shoulder or 10”. How do I mark them. Also the shoulder measurement for different sizes how do i determine it? I will be glad to get a reply

@cleverpaws90352 жыл бұрын
To make matters more confusing, European sizes come in short-regular-tall as well. 20, 40, and 80 are the same size in term of bust and hip measurement, but their spacing on the pattern is different, with 20 being for short women, 40 for regular / average height, and 80 for tall women.

Also, if one chooses to have a size chart in ranges (small: bust 35-36 in) rather than one numerical figure (small: bust 36 in) , when sewing, what measurement should one choose as the size for let’s say the bust (35-36 in) in a small when sewing the garment?

Use the higher end of the range, i e , 36in.
