Std measure charts compiled from the earlier version of DS V2.5:
GIANT CAVEAT:
There has been an increasing hue and cry for Standard measurements. I have complied the missing "sample" measurements in DS V4 from V2.5 and placed it on this page.
USE at your own RISK.. they are samples.. thats all!!
You will note that the total heigth for each of these samples ranges approx. 5'5inches.. if you are taller or shorter.. they wont work.
If you are slimmer or heavier in your SHAPE they wont work
If your arms are longer or shorter they wont work.
NOTHING SUCCEEDS for a CUSTOM Patern Drafting Program like CUSTOM MEASUREMENTS!!
The missing measurements you will still have to guesstimate ARE:
around head
Around Neck
ribbing ( 2 inches less than head.. must be measured based on degree of stretch of actual fabric)
Under bust generally 2-3 inches less than full bust
HI Bust ( generally 1-3 inches less than full bust
One again.. I storongly reccommend AGAINST using these charts.. at least MUSLIN first and correct BEFORE CUTTING GOOD FABRIC!!!!
