Sylvia,
I think your question entirely appropriate for this list. I have a
whole archive of historic patterns that I'd like to grade (none of
them is even close to my own size!), but have never attempted. If you
hear of a grader/service, I might be interested, too.
Many thanks for posting!

I know this question isn't related specifically to historic
costuming, but I think some of you have made businesses from your
passion for such and may have needed to grade their patterns up and
down for sale. In the past, I have done my own grading, but I've
never really learned totally how to do it and I have some ideas for
new designs that, if they sell, I may need to size them up or down
and these may be too complex for me to try on my own. Does anyone
know of any professional graders? I live in Colorado, but I imagine
I could ship my patterns out of state if I can't find someone here.
