Computer Aided Pattern Design
by Don McCunn
Size Charts
These Size Charts show the 32 measurements described in How to Make Sewing Patterns and the online classes to create Bespoke patterns. They are for the 13 models included in Fashion & Costume Design in Quarter Scale. This book shows how bodies can vary within a limited size range. The book describes how these models' specific body shapes can be changed into quarter-scale Mini-Me dress forms. These Mini-Mes can be used as "fitting models" to verify whether a given design will work on different bodies, a few, or only one.
Contents
- Upper Torso Circumference
- Upper Torso Length
- Arm
- Leg Circumference
- Leg Length
In order to help make RTW decisions, the measurement charts include comparisons to show where the body changes occur. For example while the Bust measurements #6 vary by 4" the distance between Bust Apexs varies only by 1" (Bust to Bust #7). This is an indication that the width of the body does not vary as much as the circumference.
For people familar with spreadsheets, these measurements are included as a .CSV file. When used in a spreadsheet, any number of comparisons can be made.
