There is no overall easy change to grade a garment. You need to change one part
a lot, and the other end just a hair in many cases.
My favorite grading book is "Grading Techniques for Modern Design" by Price and Zamkoff. It shows lots of variations, and I can
usually find something close to the garment I am grading. It's not perfect, but it is usually very close.
Happy sewing,

Dear List
I have finally traced off all the pattern pieces to one of my regency
gowns. I can copy it, but am looking for an easy way to draft it into
other sizes as it is very small. Is there a simple method to do this?
And is there a set of measurements I should be using as a standard?
When I look in my books and online I can only find how to draft from
my measurements, and not how to draft to produce different size
patterns from an extant garment.
Many thanks,
Aylwen
Bye for now,
