@cybele727, I was thinking about you and the notcher last night. Notchers are a lot like hole punches: I think that if you tried to use them on fabric you would be sorely disappointed.

Tamara, you’re hired! Spot on. xo

I believe body measurements are listed under another tab on the website. They both are measuring approximately 32″ bust. Size 0 is based on 35″ hips if you can’t find the measurements online.

I’ve just traced and cut out the pattern for the birthday party dress, size 3. This is my first time using this pattern.
