Fold the fabric into 2 using the hip measurement divided by 4.
On our folded fabric, start from the center front to place the measurements for the neck, bust and hip.
For the back block simply fold your fabric into 2 as well. Next place your front block on the back to get the exact measurement plus 2 inches for the zip.
Also the back neck is higher than the front neck area.
When you cut the front and back block out it should look like this.
Sew the sides together. Add the sleeves and finish the neck line. I added facing to my neck line.
Lastly I added the zip and finished the hem line.
