I like to compare my measurements to the set of measurements printed on the front pattern piece. This gives the closest representation of the finished garment and avoids most suprises. Fabric weight /designers ease preference also affects the fit. I just finished doing pattern alterations, cut, basted and the top is way too big. Great save on your project, looks like the top fits well. 1/26/12 0:04 AM
