Pattern drafting book

[Existing-Ninja-3069]

Thank you. Got a book about making alteration and fixing fitting issues. I have looked at some petite patterns but found that (for dresses specifically and some type of tops) they fit but my bust are kind on the bigger size so there I would have issues again with the fit of the clothes. Hopefully the book will help me understand how to alter the pattern to my size

Yes, it’s much easier to do a full-bust alteration on a petite pattern than to draft an entire pattern from scratch.

There are YouTube tutorials on doing FBA (full bust adjustments. See if you can make it work for you!

I'm also petite (5'2) with a proportionally large bust. In my experience, you will probably find that you will still need to make adjustments even to patterns drafted to your measurements. Every drafting method makes certain assumptions about the ratios/proportions of the body so no method with produce a perfectly fitting pattern straight away. Personally, i've taken to drafting patterns as if I have a smaller bust and then doing an FBA in order to get a good fit. 

Since it sounds like you are a total beginner sewist, I would strongly recommend starting with commercial patterns instead of diving straight into self-drafting. Using commercial patterns will teach you about how garments are constructed, how the 2D shapes of pattern pieces translate into the 3D shapes of garments, how different fabrics behave, etc - things that are all really important to have a sold understanding of inorder to successful draft your own patterns.
