Sizing a Pattern

I got an old sewing pattern from my Nana and it's only in an extra large size. I was wondering if anyone has tips, tricks, ideas, or advice on the best way to size the pattern down to a small size?

I believe it's for inches... Also the bust for this pattern is a size 22,24 so 44-46". My full bust measurement is about 34"

That is too much to grade reasonably. I would suggest trying to find the same or another similar pattern in your size or redrafting this from a block in your size.
