    This is called grading. Except that it doesn’t actually work quite like that; you can’t just dump new numbers into an existing sloper (or block, depending on which term you were taught) and expect to be able to make it fit correctly without extensive edjustment. Grading works pretty okay when you’re talking about smaller sizes (for women, that would be commercial sizes 00-4 or so, roughly size 6-12 for true sizing), but does not work well when you’re just plugging in numbers past that very limited range.
