Pattern drafting

Hi Nehzat:
I have a question on drafting the bodice front pattern. I am a double D cup size. Taking one cm from the back and adding one to the front sounds like it won't be right. Could you explain that to me?
Thanks, Cheryl

Pants
Hi Nehzat:
Would that also apply to pants. I have a tummy and thick thighs but not a protruding buttocks. My back is a bit flatter than average, but not totally flat. I usually have a little extra fabric under my rear when I buy pants and I think it's because of that.

Dear Cheryl,
When calculating for the bust line of the back bodice pattern, you can divide the bust circumference by 4. Then deduct up to 2 cm from it and mark on the bust line. When drawing the front bodice block pattern, you divide the bust circumference by 4 and add this amount to it.
This way the side seam on the bodice will not be placed too much towards the front.
The same thing can be done for the waistline and lower hip-line, if the front of the body is fuller than the back,
Happy sewing,
Nehzat
