There is not a lot of extra ease loaded into the styles so please choose the size that is closest to your own body measurements. The patterns can be altered to fit your size and shape. We would recommend that you make a test fitting sample before cutting into your main fabric - similar weight fabric to your intended final garment is a must for test fitting. Your test sample can be constructed from the main pattern pieces so you can fine tune for any fit variances. 1. 2. 3. Sizing your garment will be based on 3 main measurements. 1. Bust Circumference: Horizontal measurement at fullest part of the bust making sure the tape measure is horizontal around the body. 2. Waist Circumference: Horizontal measurement at natural waist (your belly button is not your waist). 3. Hip Circumference: Horizontal measurement at fullest part of your hip line. Try different positions - abdomen, buttocks and high thighs and use the biggest measure. The chart on page 5 offers many additional measurements to fine tune your fit. For details on how and where to measure your body please see the help chart at http://designerstitch.com/sizing/ © www.designerstitch.com. # 1020// ASHLEY info // page 5 info Measures based on fit models of 168 cms (5’6”) with a cup size of B.

While I have provided patterns graded in cup sizes - B, C, D, and DD - some fitting and tapering will be needed to fine tune the fit of your garment. TO ENSURE YOU ACHIEVE YOUR BEST FIT A TEST GARMENT IN SIMILAR WEIGHT FABRIC IS A MUST !!! Ensure you are wearing a well fitted bra !!!! To check your cup size, take your bust (A) and high bust (B) measurements and record them. B A Next, determine your cup size by subtracting your high bust measure from your bust measure. If your bust is 2.5cms - 5 cms (1” to 2” ) larger than your high bust you are a B Cup. If your bust is 5 cms - 7.5 cms (2” to 3” ) larger than your high bust you are a C Cup. If your bust is 7.5 cms - 10 cms (3” to 4” ) larger than your high bust you are a D Cup. If your bust is 10 cms - 12.5 cms (4” to 5” ) larger than your high bust you are a DD Cup. Pattern Size Selection - your high bust measurement will determine what pattern size to use and the above calculation will determine what cup size front pattern pieces to use. Use the size chart on page 5 to select your pattern size (based on high bust measurement) along with your cup size. © www.designerstitch.com. # 1020// ASHLEY info // page 7 info BABY DOLL BACK 1 2 3 SKIM FIT FINISHED PATTERN MEASUREMENTS (approx) PATTERN 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 SIZE 87 cms 92 cms 97 cms 102 cms 107 cms 112 cms 117 cms 122 cms 127 cms 132 cms 137 cms 142 cm 147 cms BUST - B 34 ¼" 36 ¼" 38 ¼" 40 ¼ 42 ¼" 44 ¼" 46 ¼" 48 ¼" 50 ¼" 52 ¼" 54 ¼" 56 ¼" 58 ¼" CUP 89.5 cm 94.5 cm 99.5 cm 104.5 cm 109.5 cm 114.5 cm 119.5 cm 124.5 cm 129.5 cm 134.5 cm 139.5 cm 144.5 cm 149.5 cm BUST - C 35 ¼" 37 ¼” 39 ¼” 41 ¼” 43 ¼” 45 ¼” 47 ¼” 49 ¼” 51 ¼” 53 ¼” 55 ¼” 57 ¼" 59 ¼" CUP 92 cms 97 cms 102 cm 107 cms 112 cms 117 cms 122 cms 127 cms 132 cms 137 cms 142 cms 147 cm 152 cms BUST - D 36 ¼" 38 ¼" 40 ¼" 42 ¼" 44 ¼" 46 ¼" 48 ¼" 50 ¼ " 52 ¼" 54 ¼" 56 ¼" 58 ¼" 60 ¼" CUP 94.5 cms 99.5 cms 104.5cm 109.5 cm 114.5 cm 119.5 cm 124.5 cm 129.5 cm 134.5 cm 139.5 cm 144.5 cm 149.5 cm 154.5 cm BUST - DD 37 ¼" 39 ¼" 41 ¼" 43 ¼" 45 ¼" 47 ¼" 49 ¼" 51 ¼" 53 ¼" 55 ¼" 57 ¼" 59 ¼" 61 ¼ CUP 84 cms 89 cms 94 cm 99cms 104cms 109 cms 114 cms 119 cms 124 cms 129 cms 134 cms 139 cm 144 cm WAIST 33 " 35 " 37 " 39 " 41 " 43 " 45 " 47 " 49 " 51 " 53 " 55 " 57 " 93 cms 98 cms 103 cm 108 cms 113 cms 118 cms 123 cms 128 cms 133 cms 138 cms 143 cms 148cms 153 cms HIP 36 ⅝" 38 ⅝" 40 ⅝" 42 ⅝" 44 ⅝" 46 ⅝" 48 ⅝" 50 ⅝" 52 ⅝" 54 ⅝" 56 ⅝" 58 ⅝" 60 ⅝ " CIRCUM- FERENCE 48 cms 48 cms 48 cms 48 cms 48 cms 48 cms 48 cms 48 cms 48 cms 48 cms 48 cms 48 cms 48 cms LENGTH -1 19" 19" 19" 19" 19" 19" 19" 19" 19" 19" 19" 19" 19" 53 cms 53 cms 53 cms 53 cms 53 cms 53 cms 53 cms 53 cms 53 cms 53 cms 53 cms 53 cms 53 cms LENGTH - 2 21" 21" 21" 21" 21" 21" 21" 21" 21" 21" 21" 21" 21" 58 cms 58 cms 58 cms 58 cms 58 cms 58 cms 58 cms 58 cms 58 cms 58 cms 58 cms 58 cms 58 cms LENGTH - 3 23" 23" 23" 23" 23" 23" 23" 23" 23" 23" 23" 23" 23" © www.designerstitch.com.
