Need help calculating enlargement of doll clothes pattern
Invisigal Intermediate Member since 11/7/09 Posts: 563	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 11/18/12 12:01 PM I realize this should be simple, but my middle-aged non-mathematical mind can't figure it out. I need a free panty pattern for a 22" doll. I found one for a 19.75" doll. By what percentage should I enlarge it? I don't have a doll to experiment with.

I think you would be safe calling it 10% which is easier to figure. However, this is a difference in height and I don't know if it would be 10% for waist and thigh measurements which are circumferences. Dolls might not be proportional for each measurement. (Most people are not, sadly!) I am not sure if I have helped.
