For the catsuit draft we have been given the same measurements to work from to help simplify the process. Because of the amount lycra stretches, 10% is taken off from the original measurements as the finished garment will expand to fit the body.
Drafting the catsuit is very different to the hip and bodice blocks that we have drafted in the 1st year, the catsuit involved a lot of calculations and had rather strange/confusing steps to follow that will take a lot of time and repetition for me to fully get used to. Something else unusual about this pattern is that the crotch shaping is built only into the centre back whereas when patterning trousers earlier this year, the shaping was built into both the centre front and centre back seams.
