  I’m not sure what the problem is, high tic… does it matter if your back measurement is very much larger than the standard one suggested? Use your back measurement, not the default one, and adjust the rest as a result (i.e. reduce the amount given to the front of the bodice to get the same overall bust measurement). The standard values are for some sort of average human, there is no presumption that real people necessarily come anywhere close to these values!

    I have a copy of a book from the eight hundreds that by using the wrist measurement you can get every other body measurement within a couple of inches. Thought it wouldn’t apply to people of today our bodies have change ratios so much.
