Guess what. I'm going to have my measurements taken by a professional! The sewing instructor at Vogue Fabrics knows my plight and is willing to help me figure things out. We're trying to schedule something for next weekend. I can't wait. I'll be showing up with this:
In the meantime, this means KS3740 is on hold. Not forgotten or abandoned, just on hold. So what am I'm I doing as I anxiously await my date with the tape? Looking at skirt patterns. My wardrobe needs everything, but I figured skirts would be the easiest and quickest way for me to go.
Here's the short list:
Kwik Sew 3877 and 3819
Simplicity 2257, 2411 and 2655
And the winner is? I'm not sure yet. I'm leaning toward the two Kwik Sew patterns. I'm waiting for 3877 to arrive in the mail *hopefully today*. I think the other one would look best in a double knit, so I'm not sure how much wear I would get out of it before the weather turns in Chicago.

I will be extremely interested to hear how you go with getting your measurements taken.
Also how you use the two-tape measuring system. I haven't seen that before.
@Sue the tape is two measuring tapes together so you can take accurate inseam and crotch curve measurements at the same time. One tape has 0 in the middle so you can better compare widths in different directions like from CF to each side seam.
