HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR PATTERN SIZE?

A measurement chart to guide you:

With the purchase of each pattern, a measurement chart is provided to you.
3 main measurements to determine the size to choose:
-Chest size
-Waist size
-The pelvic floor

To make your choice easier, the tables corresponding to your measurements are always the same from one
model to another and based on a height of 1.65m and a B cup

How to take your measurements?

Body measurements should be taken using a soft tape measure.
Stand in front of a mirror to ensure the tape measure is parallel to the floor when you
position it around your body.
Take your measurements in underwear

For chest size: measure at the fullest point of your chest
For waist measurement: measure at the smallest part of your waist
For hip circumference: measure at the widest point of the buttocks

How to choose your size?

After noting your measurements, refer to the table.
If you are between two sizes, for example 40 and 42, generally choose the larger size.
Depending on the model, this rule may be different. For example, a model like the Cassandre dress,
on which the bottom is very loose, if your chest and waist measurements are 40 but the hips are 42, then
you can start from 40 so that the fitted part of the model fits your body well.
The ease of the skirt part will be more than enough for your pelvis in size 42.
Depending on the model, it is necessary to determine which part of the body is the most fitted and therefore the one for which
you will favor the size correspondence with the measurement table.

For fitted models or if the measurement gaps between the chest, waist
and the pelvis are more important, you can decide to modify the standard pattern by connecting the
lines of several different sizes

In any case, it is better to sew a canvas

Sewing a toile means cutting your dress, blouse, pants or jumpsuit, etc. out of an inexpensive, basic fabric, in order to test your pattern.
To assemble this canvas, there is no need for finishing touches, no overlocking, no small details...
The canvas is just there to be tried on and to be able to make some adjustments to the pattern that will be used to cut your final fabric, without risk.
