If you are using the half-scale dress form, reduce the full-sized measurements on the drawings by half when you develop the patterns. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom the author: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e'For me, it's not all about pretty silhouettes. What starts me drawing a pattern is the sight of something that I find interesting or beautiful, and want to bring to life as a garment. There's an irresistible pleasure in sketching out the lines over and over, and seeking out their shape as I assemble them. Sometimes, I'll put something together that I love, only to have second thoughts a little while later and find myself back at my drawing. I guess it's the little things that happen, the things I hear and see on a daily basis, that make me work this way. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eI'll go with what I have for now.
