Measurement Guide:

Guide to the Best Fit

Use Your Body Measurements, not your ready-to wear size to select pattern size

Patterns are multi sized to help get you the best fit

Take accurate body measurements.

Finished garment measurements are printed on each pattern's "Information Sheet" - compare these against the body measurement chart.  The difference is ease - both wearing ease and comfort ease

For Skirts and Pants/Trousers: 

If you are between two sizes - size smaller for a closer fit, size up for a looser fit - take into account your frame - size smaller for a smaller frame/small bones, size up for big bones/larger frame

My chart has changed over time but most of the current patterns work to this chart.

Please check each pattern for the sizes - each listing has a copy of the size chart used - not all patterns are available in all sizes

Please note: Patterns are based on these sizes but each pattern is designed to fit differently.

Please refer to the Actual Fit (finished) measurement chart for more information.
