Fit point for starting size

Hello:

This is my perennial question. It actually paralyzes me and so I never make anything for me.


For a dress with a fitted top and an a line or wider (ie non fitted bottom) I use my high bust measurement to determine size and do the FBA and other adjustments, so neck and shoulders fit properly and work my way down the body. I am petite and "narrow" compared to regular sized women, but still rather curvy and "voluptuous." ;)


For a sheath like this, what is the fit point that I should use to determine which size? Is it hips or still high bust measurement? Because it isn't super fitted through the waist, I am guessing that the waist isn't it. This will definitely be a muslin for me, and one I get the perfect fit, this will be a go to.


Suggestions. (Oh and I am so asking for fit for real people for Christmas. AGAIN!)
