This is why commercial patterns drive me nuts.
Proportionally I have tiny shoulders and a small overbust, and large bust. Carry more weight in my midsection than I would like. A combination that makes fitting difficult.
There is no correct measurement to size from. If I use my bust or waist, the shoulder will have fit issues, and I can't guess the right size to fit my shoulder with no measurement for overbust provided or marked.
A good chunk of this is the ridiculous 3 inches of ease that Simplicity builds in.
Really need to shift to using a sloper and doing my own designs. Fighting commercial patterns for fit isn't worth the headache.
