Not sure if this is the right fit?
Consider Fit for Real People by Pati Palmer.
“Practical, photo-led and low-math, Pati Palmer’s Fit for Real People walks you through a no-measuring, no-mockup approach to adjusting commercial tissue patterns. it reads as tactile and instructional: lots of step photographs of real bodies, clear rules for choosing sizes, and updated pattern-industry notes in this edition. Main value is speed and accessibility—shortcuts that get you cutting sooner. Main limitation is grainy repetition and a limitation in technical precision; sewists who want drafting details or calibrated measurements will find it too loose.”
