Hi, what do you mean, “then you can use the same method to increase the waist size?”

I am having much difficulty with choosing the correct pattern size for skirts and to get dresses to fit in the waist due to my waist measurement is larger than my hip measurement on the final pattern measurements. Example: my measurements = Waist – 35 hips – 40. I have to use a size 18 to fit my waist of a 35 but the hip measurement ends up being a 43. I must alter all garments for that extra fabric from hip to down. If I get a size 16 to fit my hips as you mention above, it will be way too tight in the waist. Can you assist me with this situation?
