If you have an odd body shape that doesn't properly fit entirely within a set of pattern measurements, I would say get a pattern BIGGER than you need. Things can always be trimmed down.
There's ways to size up a pattern (and when I had a ton less stress, I actually did that with one I made for a friend) but they require some calculations and understanding of where things will drape on the body, plus *possibly* some small widgets you may not have on hand.
