Bibi: Designer Notes

When I was designing Tina, I originally considered basing the pattern on Brian. However, Tina is supposed to work for people with breasts and Brian is mostly designed for menswear and doesn't support much body and bust fitting.

For this design, I reused code from Brian mostly for the sleevecap and armhole construction and added a basic front bust adjustment.

Because Bibi is supposed to be usable for very different lengths, I also changed the sideline calculation to fit to the waist and seat measurements and I added a sleeveless option and this is basically the result.
