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

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!
