How to choose your size
- Determine your cup size—subtract the circumference of your over bust from the circumference of the fullest part of your bust. If the rounded difference is 1″ (2.5 cm), use A cup; 2″ (5 cm), use B cup; 3″ (7.5 cm), use C cup; 4″ (10 cm), use D cup; 5″ (12.5 cm), use DD cup.
- After determining the cup size, compare your bust circumference (fullest part) to the “Body Measurements” table. Using the corresponding row for your cup, choose the size that best fits your bust. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your garment more fitted; otherwise, choose the bigger size.
- Compare your waist circumference (narrowest part) to the “Body Measurements” table. Choose the size that best fits your waist. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your garment more fitted; otherwise, choose the bigger size.
- Compare your hip circumference (widest part) to the “Body Measurements” table. Choose the size that fits your hip best. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your garment more fitted; otherwise, choose the bigger size.
- It’s OK to use different sizes for the bust, waist and hip. The instructions for blending sizes are included in the pattern.
- If you are taller or shorter than 5’6” (168 cm), you should consider lengthening or shortening the garment. The instructions for lengthening or shortening are included in the pattern.

I have recently taken up sewing after a 30 year lag. I made this dress for my daughter. I wasn’t sure of the fit so I bought a set of curtains at a thrift store and made the dress from the washed curtains. It fit her perfectly, and she loved the fabric so she is now wearing a $3.00 dress made from used curtains. I was very pleased with the detailed and easy to follow instructions. I loved being able to print just the size I needed. I had a little problem with printing at first so I called the help line. My inquiry was responded to almost immediately and I received the help I needed right away. I have purchased 5 patterns from this company and have made 2 of them so far. Both excellent results. I’m hooked, and honestly I don’t think I will buy a regular pattern again. I hope this company designs more wardrobe basics as well as fashion items. Please keep them coming.

This is a beautifully designed dress, with all the seams and darts matching perfectly. It is a bonus that it comes in various cup sizes. In addition to the two sleeves and two different zipper installations included, this dress can be lengthened or shortened and still look great! I think we’ll see many variations of this dress in the near future. AND, the instructions are awesome!
