Re: Find Your Best Silhouette

I agree that the article was very interesting, but not quite ready for prime time.I an good at math and clothing design choices and changes. Being very short waisted, used to be high busted, high hip bones and very long lege and arms, patterns never fit. Neither did bought clothes fit to my liking so I started sewing at 8 years old. Have solved some of my changes by experimenting, but I would like something more concrete so I am more confident of the outcome and like what I spend time and money creating.Looking at the one example with an offcenter neckline and dropped waist, I under stand the dropped waist, but the model had an off center hip area and the final design made that off center more off.To me it made it more apparent, rather than camoflaging it.I have not tried drawing it up , but I would think off center to the other side would be better. The sleeve lenghts were the same even though the arms were longer Hands hanging furthur down. I don't under stand that concept. Please give us some more useful guides to deciding ht lenghts and widths. Where does on measure the shoulders for this concept?
