Let me place the measurement I will be working with.

It's for a pretty big lady. wink

Shoulder 17
Sleeve 14
Bust 46
Waist 39
Hip 52
Length 43

Time to divide our measurement into blocks. (Front block and back block)
I will divide the bust waist and hip into two.

bust 46÷2 =23
Waist 39÷2=19.5
Hip 53÷2=26

Because it's a free dress I need to add extra inches to make it free.
I will be using the biggest part to place my fabric on fold
Which is 26 +4 to make it free,that's- 30. I also must add seam allowance 1 inch.

So I have 31 inch placed on fold
Now let's talk about the length of the dress
The length of the dress is 43.but I will have to factor the different colours into the length. The dress we are using as a guide has two different colours but I want to make this one 3 colours .All I need to do is Identify the inches I want to make each colour. I also factor in seam allowance and deduct it from the 43 inch of the length. What ever is left will be part of the dominant colour of the dress.

I want to make my main dress 30 while the added fabric will be 13.
Now coz I am dividing 13 into 3, I will have it as 4+4+5 =13.
On each piece I must add 1 inch seam allowance to join it together.
This is the theoretical explanation

Now let do the placement on fabric so we can cut.
