Body Type X Calculator #2
The formulas used below are derived from the body type X Standard Body Measurement Chart provided in the drafting book Metric Pattern Cutting for Women's Wear Sixth Edition (2015) by Winifred Aldrich. This calculator provides a smaller set of measurements for drafting, completely driven by a single bust measurement.
The original source data was optimized for a bust range of 80 cm to 122 cm (31.5" to 48"). While this calculator will generate values outside of this range, please note that extreme sizes may require additional mock-up adjustments, as body proportions naturally shift outside standard grading brackets.
The measurement names have been updated to correspond directly with the PatternMaker Pro Measurement Guide to make them easier to locate and verify.
- Imperial (Inches)
