I did it directly with my wife taking the measurements.

I have your book, great information.

I am an S shape, where my stomach sticks out and my backside does the same.

I am trying to pleat to the line and ended up with 27 pleats and 1/16 of an inch difference between the hip and waist, does this sound OK.

I have not started sewing yet, just basted the aprons, even the A line looks a little straight from waist to hip.
