hi there, if I were you I would draw your seam allowances on the pattern. So draw a line to represent the seam under the sleeve and and then one for the side seam. Where these two lines intersect is going to be your pivot point. Another idea, is if you have a regular bodice pattern, you can lay it on top and it should give you a general idea on where to pivot. Hope this helps!
