Also remember that you DESERVE to look your best, it will do wonders for your self esteem!! 

Remember measurements are only numbers.  I have taken my measurements in both inches & centimeters.  I keep a copy with me in my purse along with a tape measure for quick reference when buying pattern or clothing.  I keep a copy at my computer so when I'm shopping on line I have them handy & a copy with my sewing.  I have created a quick reference chart just follow the PDF  link  Measurement Chart  to print of a sample chart. Your can also email me from my contacts page & I can email you in a word file.  I will try to create a better chart soon hope this helps. 

When you are selecting your pattern keep in mind that you will need ease in what what ever garment you are making.  I suggest 2-3inches round bust & 4-6 inches around hips.  I use this as a rule of thumb for garments that have little or no give, I might even add more in the hip area. For tops I also try to have them finger tip length rule, this takes them below the largest part of the hip.  Not all my tops have that but then I compensate in other areas.   e.g..  if I wear a shorter top I will not wear it with a pant or skirt that will out line my tummy, but a more full pant or skirt or biase cut skirt that hangs straight from my waist.  I have wrap pants that I love they look like a long skirt.  

If unsure cut a bit bigger you can always adjust down, if smaller harder to go the other way.
