I have measured myself and am a size 14 on top and 18 below . I'm going to trace my pattern. What size do I do or do I need to merge the two together? Or go on a crash diet.
Thanks, @NatalieSews . When I took my pattern to class, it transpired that the hip measurement was not significant, so my teacher advised me to cut a size 14. I'll definitely need a curved ruler when I make a dress or I could join the gym.
@Pearl Have you joined a class? Theres a class in my area that teaches dressmaking and quilting and I really want to go. Good luck and remember to show us pictures once you have completed it!
