Body Type X Calculator #3
The table below is derived from the body type X Body Measurement Chart provided in the drafting book Pattern Drafting and Grading (1961) by M. Rohr. Since this book was written in 1961, so you'll find these measurements differ from more modern tables.
The original source data was optimized for a bust range of 32" to 48" (81 cm to 122 cm). 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.
note
The measurement names have been updated to correspond directly with the PatternMaker Pro Measurement Guide to make them easier to locate and verify.
