How to Use This Calculator
- Enter your actual body measurements: bust, waist, and hip circumferences in inches.
- Enter the pattern's standard measurements for the same size.
- Review adjustments needed for bust, waist, and hip -- both total adjustment and per-side amount.
- Apply adjustments to the pattern tissue before cutting fabric to ensure accurate fit.
- Re-measure after fitting a muslin (test garment) -- body measurements alone don't capture posture adjustments.
