Use your current body measurements rather than your usual ready-to-wear size. A few careful measurements will help you choose the best starting point for your pattern.

Women's Body Measurement Chart
Measure over close-fitting undergarments, keep the tape level around your body, and do not pull it too tightly. The exact size range may vary by pattern, so check the product page before purchasing.

Three essential measurements
How to Take Your Measurements
Bust
Measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the measuring tape level across your back.
Waist
Measure around your natural waistline, usually the narrowest part of your torso.
Hip
Measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat with your feet together.

Choosing Your Size & Between Sizes
Between sizes
If your measurements fall across different sizes, review the intended fit and finished garment measurements on the product page.
Fitted garments
Choose the size based on the measurement most critical to the garment—bust for fitted tops, or hips for trousers and skirts—and blend smoothly between sizes when needed.
Relaxed or oversized styles
Choose your size based on your primary body measurement and the amount of ease you prefer in the finished silhouette.
