Subject: Re: [h-cost] Re: Martha to Mia - I needed that!
I'm a size 14 in commercial patterns, my main measurements are pretty
close
(hips waist, bust) but most of my bust measurement is from my ribcage. It
makes for a very tricky fit even for professional seamstresses. Been
there,
realised I know my own body best had a very steep learning curve in
pattern
drafting;)
It IS a PITA, isn't it? I'm glad to hear of someone else with the same
issues.
I have a big ribcage, broad shoulders, chunky arms, short legs, and a flat
butt. Getting things to fit is a nightmare!
