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.
Karen –
Love it.
Jodie –
As always, very well-written and clear. Love the multiple cup sizes!!
Stephanie –
Love that the shoulders and bodice have enough structure to hold their shape while still looking relaxed.
Leanne . –
Love it so much and it’s so great you have made it possible for A0 print
melodie.kunegel –
Very elegant pattern. I had trouble fitting the back zipper so I ended up sewing the back seam with just an opening at the waist and it’s perfect
Ronda –
Great pattern. Well drafted, and very clear instructions.
April –
I love the versatility of top to dress patterns. Also, can’t beat the cup sizes 🙂
Anne –
I liked this pattern but didn’t like the material I chose, so will make again at a later date.
