YOUR GUIDE TO CHOOSING THE RIGHT PATTERN SIZE

Take Your Body Measurements

Your personal body measurements are the key to making a good pattern size choice.

Compare Your Measurements to the Size Chart

With your body measurements in hand, compare them to the body measurement chart below. Your high bust, full bust, waist girth, hip girth and cup size are the most important measurements for choosing your size.

If you haven't already done so, download The Perfect Fit Guide for the six step fitting process I teach to achieve the fit you want.

About In-House Patterns Sizing

In-House Patterns Fitting Essentials sewing patterns have been developed for two distinctly different sizing categories.

The first category encompasses sizes 2 to 14 which have been developed for an hourglass figure with a height of 5’8” (173 cm) and a B bust cup size. This sizing category is based on my size 8 industry standard body form "Maureen".

The second category consists of sizes 12 to 24 which have been developed for an hourglass figure with the height of 5’6” (168 cm) and a C bust cup size. This sizing category is based on my size 18 industry standard body form "Molly".

Patterns developed prior to August 2020 are currently only available in sizes 2 to 16.
