Novice question I am sure

I have only ever tried drafting patterns from my own clothes. As such, I’m not used to how it is supposed to be done. I was looking at the “Sven” pattern and wondered how I deal with the very long part atthe top of the body? Is it possible I have made a mistake in measuring?

Yes, this looks like a measurement issue. Use one of the curated sets to check how the pattern should look.

It looks like it’s mirrored the curve vertically

It looks like the neck hole is much lower than the bottom of the armhole.

Check waist-to-armpit and hps-to-waist measurements mainly. I’d guess waist-to-armpit is way too large.

Good call, I’ll look. Thank you
