Here is a general template we will be using to create this pattern.All measurements are in inches.
Measurements:
Shoulder[sh]-[sh]:16"
Bust:38"[bust minus1.5]=38"-1.5=36.5
waist:30"
Shoulder to bust:[sh] to bust:11" [Refer to my earlier post to see how to measure]
Sh-bracut: 13.25"
Sh-blouse length:16". [You have to add 1" to allow for seem allowance so the measurement to be taking will be 17"]
Sleeve length:6"
Base of sleeve:12"
Front neck depth[FN]: 6"
Back Neck depth[BN]:6.5"
shoulder band:4"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Calculation:
shoulder/2=16/2=8 plus a constant[0.5]=8+.05=8.5
Ragal line length:
sh/2=16/2=8"
Ragal line width:
bust measurement plus 8[constant] divided by 4=36.5 +8=44.5/4=11.1
Sh to bust=11" have to add 0.5constant=11 +0.5 =11.5
Sh to bra cut=13.25 have to add 0.5 constant=13.25+ .5=13.75
Sh to blouse length=16 have to add 1"=16+1=17
Waist[front]=waist/4 plus 0.5 constant plus 3" for dart=30/4 +0.+3=
7.5+0.5+3=11
Waist [Back]=waist /4 plus 0.5 constant=7.5+.5=8
length of dart=sh to bust minus 0.5 divided by 2=11-.5=10.5/2=5.25[this tells u the midpoint from which u have to situate the 3 darts.
sleeve calculation:
sleeve length:6+0.5[constant]+1.5[constant]=8
base of sleeve:12/2+0.5constant=6.5

Many thanks for this most informative site. I have been looking for sarrie blouse drafts for years. I will be very grateful if you can kindly send me a table of sizes from size 28 to 50 to reflect all basic measurements required for draft for the various sizes. Many thanks.
