   this is how you draft your pattern.
   this is how you take your measurements.
   presumming i'm going to make an M sized dress.
   i will use the fixed size M measurements for an example
   Neck: 32. taking 32/ 6 + 0.5 = 5.8 [for neck across] and 32/6+2= 7.3 [ for neck down]
   
   Shoulder: 34 34/2 = 17
   
   Bust: 86
   Front 86/4 +2.5 = 24
   Back 86/4= 21.5
   
   Waist: 64
   Front 64/4+1+3 =20
   Back 64/4-1+3 = 18
   
   Front Waist length: 41.5
   Back Waist Length : 39
   
   Front width: 28 28/2=14
   
   Back Width 32 32/2= 16
   
   Pitch of Breast: 17 17/2= 8.5
   
   Breast Point: 24
   
   Armpit: 40 40/2= 20
   
   Hip: 92
   
   Front: 92/4+1= 24
   Back: 92/4+2= 25
   
   for a TIGHTER skirt
   
   Front: 92/4+1 = 24
   back: 92/4= 23 OR back 92/4-1= 22 [even tighter skirt]
   
   Length of skirt: 55 (this is always up to you on how long you wan your skirt to be)
   
   Armpit: 40
   40+3= 43
   (43-8) / 2 = 17.5

That is just what I was looking for. Awesome. And the funniest part is that I recognize the cloth because I used it for a skirt once!
