Thank youuu, I have almost o sewing experience so this is extremely helpful. The only thing that was confusing was the measurements. I wasn't always sure I was measuring from the right places so that could mess up the pattern. Maybe if there was pictures?
This is great. If I may make a suggestion: to make things easier to follow, you could colour code the text with the measurements. For example, in the explanation of how to measure you could give "waist line" a blue colour that matches with a blue colour measurement on the side. It just makes things easier to follow. I hope I made sense...

THANK YOU!!!!! I have been trying to find a pattern for a bodice I need for a costume and since I am a beginner I could not figure out the measurements!!!!!!!!!! (or how to draw it )
Thank you so much for this! I just drafted my pieces. Now to cut out fabric and put them all together. (A Trader Joe's bag works perfectly to fit all the pieces)
Hi. I am ready to put my measurements in. I just am confused about exactly how to measure a couple of them!
#1: Snug with armpits all the way around
#2: Around where the band of a bra would be...under the breasts
#3: Natural waist line (got that one!)
#4: On side, inside armpit to natural waist
#5: On side, inside armpit to side where fullest bust is (nipple being at this level important?)
#6: On side, natural waist to side where fullest bust is (nipple?)
(Am I right with how I am understanding the measuring?) Thanks!
Chuckee, I had fun with it, and I thought it was a wonderful use of my day off. It's my pleasure to share it with everyone. Finding ways to make patterns shouldn't be a chore, and that's what it was for me.
Zombiegurl, I'm not near "clever enough to use maths to my advantage." That's why I let Excel do it for me! Hours I spent changing the formulas to get stuff right.

I won't be able to try this out for a while, but I'll let you know how it goes when I do
