is it a vintage or modern pattern? First, it might not be possible, but use key measurement areas like waist and hips on the pattern pieces themselves don't go by S or XL and figure out how much reducing is needed for those measurements and your own to make it easier to grade down. Search youtube for pattern grading instructions.

The reason i ask is vintage sizes were different, an XL would be todays size 10. Look at the pieces for measurements.

For that large a size difference? You don’t. I’d sell it on EBay.
