hi! if anyone could help me with this i would be very very grateful:
i am making underwear to sew at a small boutique in kansas city missouri called birdies. the only problem is, my friend and i attempted to make 3 patterns (s,m,l) but unforunately, since a lot of the sizing was guess work, we ended up with a lot of flaws.
the problem is, i find the right hip measurement that corresponds with the size, but i can't find other important measurements like crotch depth. i can't sell any of this underwear if it ends up all being wacky sizes, and i can't even go by my own measurements because i fall in between a size (i can go up or down).

so, if any of you seamstresses, or anyone else, can direct me to a page that has the complete measurements for women's/junior's panties (or if anyone who fits a size xs, s, m, l, xl feels like contributing their measurements...) then i would be very grateful, because these are supposed to be finished by tomorrow! eek.

edit!!:
does anyone know if you can buy a new, more sensitive foot pedal for your sewing machine? mine goes from way way slow to WAY way fast. i can't afford a new sewing machine, and i doubt its fixable- i think its just kind of crappy. either way, its really messing me up, and i can't make straight lines because its always moving too fast. it is almost impossible to get it going at a constant steady pace.
