    Do You Really Know Your Sewing Pattern Size?

    PERFECT FITGUIDE DO YOU REALLY KNOW YOUR SEWING PATTERN SIZE? Find out how to use your own measurements to determine? your pattern size. SimplicityFITGUIDE_Brochure_2015.indd 1 1/26/15 12:51 PM SIMPLICITY FIT GUIDE A guide for the perfect fit! Do you REALLY know your pattern size? Learn how to use your body measurements to determine your pattern size. Look at Size with New Eyes Begin by discarding any assumptions you may have about what size you wear. Then think about the last time you went clothes shopping. Did every garment in “your” size fit you? Of course not! Standard body measurements vary from one garment manufacturer to another. And the measurements used by your favorite ready-to-wear brands may not correspond to other ready-to wear brands or to the standard body measurements that are used to develop the patterns. The good news is that patterns are based on standard body measurements. Once you have compared your body measurements to the standard body measurements you can choose your pattern size (or sizes) and be all set to sew. 2 www.simplicity.com SimplicityFITGUIDE_Brochure_2015.indd 2 1/26/15 12:51 PM Measure & Compare The way to determine pattern size is to take accurate body measurements, then compare them with the standards. The illustrations and charts on the following pages will take you, step by step, through this process. In some cases, your pattern size may be one or two sizes larger than your ready-to-wear size. But PLEASE don’t let preconceived notions stand in the way of good fit.
