I have made items from this book, but I was using their ruler in both directions. I need to re-read the initial chapters about that. Your chemise turned out lovely and your helper is a great yard stick holder downer 😛👶

Thank you! Yeah, the instructions are a bit confusing at first, but once you get it, the process is pretty simple.

I too used the scale ruler for my bust size for the width measurements too, because the instructions actually tell us to! On page 7, the 2nd paragraph down, beginning ‘This gives all the numbers….’ The 3rd sentence says: Place the scale on the short arm of the square - be sure to use the bust measure as for the baseline. My pattern came out way too long and I was so disappointed. Kyla, can you tell us exactly where you see the instruction to use a normal tape measure for the width measurements please. I’ve looked and looked but can’t find it. It certainly makes more sense!

It's never made super clear, but here are a few passages that lead me to believe you are supposed to use the bust scale ruler for the horizontal measures and a regular ruler for the vertical: Page 1: "This combination of proportional and inch measurements makes the Diamond Cutting System a 'hybrid' system." Page 5: "The Diamond Cutting System consists of a square... A set of scales, a tape measure..." (Tape measure and square are shown to have regular inches. The square allows either side of it to have one of the scales attached to it) Page 339 (and many others) "use the scale corresponding with the bust measure to draft this pattern... Regulate the length by the tape measure" Again, it's never made super clear, but these references lead me to believe you're supposed to use the scale for horizontal and the tape measure for the vertical. However, after making this chemise and the blouse on 339, I think you should use two different scales where necessary, the bust (or waist) measure for the horizontal, and some other scale for the vertical as needed.

What scale for the vertical? It takes a bit of clever math, but here's the simplest explanation I can manage: With some simple measuring, I found that the 30 scale is exactly the same as inches. To find the ratio of any of the other scales, simply divide (S)cale by 30: 34 scale's ratio: 34 ÷ 30 = 1.33 26 scale's ratio: 26 ÷ 30 = 0.87 Then, measure on yourself the vertical height you want your finished garment to be. Let's say you're making the blouse on 339. The center back is about 14 3/8" long, and my center back measurement is 16" long. So, to find what scale I need to use, I need to find the similar ratio: (desired measurement)/(One-to-one measurement) = scale ratio 16 ÷ 14.375 = 1.113 Ratio × 30 = needed scale 1.113 × 30 = 33.39 (rounded up is 34) So, I would use the 34 scale for the vertical measurements and my waist + 10 for my bust measurement (I'm small busted, so my actual bust measurement of 35 doesn't fit my shoulders) Hope this helps!
