Butterick 3421: the graded pattern

Backs and fronts. (For some reason the pattern was numbered with the right fronts and left backs face up, and I didn't think to change this when I copied it.) At some point I do intend to make a better version of these photos with the alterations highlighted.

I've taken out length above the waist, and width: the most at the waist, a little less at the hip, and less at the underarm/bust. For the most part, I tried to preserve the original ease amounts while scaling down to my size. The exception was at the bust, where the pattern seemed to have an inordinately small ease allowance.

Afterward I copied these again to drop the neckline, cut in the armholes, and add 8" length at the hem.
