Here's the measurement chart. I blame my shape on middle aged waist and my enthusiasm for ice cream whenever anyone says "unprecedented" in a weather or disaster context. #sewing
So, the question now is if I pre-adjust the middle of the pattern (around the waist), or use the "large" pattern? From prior experience with the shirt, doing so will make the shoulders not fit well. I think what I'll do is draw a line at the waist area from the "M" to the "L" and follow that line instead of the "M". This should only be the front pieces and back pieces.

@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org …it’s a pretty boxy looking pattern. You might not need to adjust. Try it with tissue
@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org OR - give yourself generous seam allowance and adjust as the unprecedented times dictate. Be the seam allowance you want to see in the world.

@hutterer@mastodon.social The difference between M and L is essentially one seam allowance.

Don’t let the pattern bully you into a seam allowance. Seam allowance can be ANYTHING you want it to be. Making a tank top from stadium towels and need every millimeter of fabric? Smaller seam allowance. Making a dress and want to give room to expand through preganancy? Lots is fine too. You are the boss of the seam allowance.
