Printed out the pattern. 3" is 3" on the side of one of the squares. Papers didn't seem to match up exactly so added some spacers.
Waist = 30"
Underarm = 43" (not sure if that is bust or above bust)
Hip = 46" (9" below waist)
waist to bottom (29") + 8" flounce = 37" which is just right for petite. Need it slightly shorter than the length of a dress so it doesn't show under the dress.
Taped and measured.
See how it should say "...Two Lines" but is missing the "in"? That's why the space was added. Tape measure is at an angle here. When flat it lined up exactly with the side of the box.
Increase the flounce probably 4-5" more for around 5'7" and more for a taller person. Tall person might want to lengthen the slip a couple inches and the flounce a few inches - just make sure flounce starts several inches below the knee to get the look of the drawing. If you have a full length skirt, measure from natural waist to hem to find out how long the finished waist to hem + flounce should be.
