Sizing

All of our patterns come in standard sewing sizes. For Girls sizes, this is usually one or two sizes smaller than the size you would regularly buy in the store. All of us have different sizes and shapes, and our patterns are not custom-fit patterns sized to fit each and every individual. If you are taller or shorter, or have broader or narrower shoulders in general, you will have to take that into consideration when you are cutting out the garment and adjust accordingly. Under each of our ladies patterns are different measurement charts which are more specific for each of the garments. If you have questions about which size you should order, feel free to call or e-mail us. We would be happy to help.

Here are our basic girls and ladies size charts:
