I've got an interesting problem looking for a solution.  My aunt wants
to start a business producing custom clothes for horse riding... they have
to be matched to each individual rider.  Does anyone know of computer
software that can take a set of measurements and resize a pattern?

This problem is not as trivial as it sounds, since some knowledge of
anatomy and common sense is needed to arrive at a good resizing.  The
problem is particularly interesting when the patches have curved edges.
It is extremely tedious to do by hand, however.

So, any ideas?  Any pointers to software (commercial or PD) that can do
this???
