Now we repeat the pivoting measurement we did in Step 11 for the back shoulder. Using the SHOULDER measurement, fix the ruler zero at the point W and pivot the ruler until it crosses the construction line drawn in the previous step at the distance of the SHOULDER measurement, and mark this intersection (point X).

    First, thank you for the tutorial. However, I’m having a problem and can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong, so I’m hoping you can help. When I get to the step to locate X, it is to the right of the line up from T. I have a very large bust and I’m wondering if this is the problem. The measurements I am using are (in inches): bust 51, waist 41, neck 16, shoulder 6.5, nape to waist 17, waist to hip 8, chest 21, back width 16, amrscye 19, bust dart 4-5/8. Hopefully you can just point me to the calculation I’m messing up. I’ve rechecked my calculation for T and get the same thing each time. I can’t figure out where I’m going wrong. Thanks!
