I made a red velvet cupcake that's adapted from old American Southern recipes: a cocoa cake with a warm, molasses-like sweetness. So good.
Measurements:
High bust: 83 cm/33"
Full bust: 86 cm/34"
Front bust length: 33cm/13"
Waist: 70cm/27.5"
Hips: 85cm/33.5"
Height: 160cm/5'3"
Final pattern size choices based on measurements:
30B front bodice
30 back bodice, next time I will use 35
27.5" waist for skirt
Used 27.5 and 30 points to "connect the dots" and draw midriff lines
Other pattern changes for RV dress in blue wavy stripe 4-way stretch (viscose/spandex?) knit:
1) added 1/2" length to back bodice
2) removed 1/2" from front bodice and graded up at the sides so that it matched the back.
3) Trued the midriffs a bit
4) shortened the skirt by 1"
5) straightened off the hip curves
