Dear Veronica,
The reason why we need to adjust the upper hip measurement on our block pattern, is that we do not measure and mark it on the upper hipline before drawing the side seam.
We need to measure and mark it after connecting the marks on the waistline and lower hipline.
There is noting wrong with adding 10 mm, as long as you follow the instructions and draft the pattern according to your specific measurements.
Thanks,
Nehzat
