Your Foundation Pattern of patterns which may seem to ''run large" in your case, for they may seem too small for another type of build. Do not compare a Teen pattern of one company with a Junior pattern of another. ASSIGNMENT
If a girl has 34" bust and 32" high chest what is probably the best size for her to buy? Suppose she has broad shoulders what would be best? If a girl has 39" bust and 34" high chest, which size pattern would you recommend? If a girl measures 33" high chest what size pattern would be best? If she is athletic and broad across the shoulders which would be advisable? If a girl measures 34" bust and 39" hip what would be recommended? An older woman's high chest measure is 32". She is flat busted and short but not too small in the waist. Which pattern will probably require less alteration? If you measured 34" bust, 30" waist, 41" hip would you use a size 16 dress pattern? What would you do to the skirt pattern?
