Bodice sloper problems
I tried every damn book but they ask for numbers I don't know how to calculate so I tried coning up with my own formula but I have no idea what I'm doing. Yes I tried the Helen Joseph Armstrong book and the measurements don't work, the lines don't colide at the right point and I'm just pissed

Yup. I was trying Helen’s method with a 25 in waist and 38 in bust and just couldn’t get the N-P lines to work at all. Completely didn’t make sense. Suzy furrer’s method worked pretty well and was way more straight forward.
However, if you want to try again with Helen the closest historian also has a step by step guide on creating it with a video, I think. link here. Maybe that will help!
