    Choosing your Size

    • Determine your cup size. You can use the cup size you typically wear.
    • After determining the cup size, compare your bust circumference (fullest part) to the “Body Measurements” table. Using the corresponding row for your cup, choose the size that best fits your bust. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your garment more fitted, as long as your measurement is less than the finished garment measurement; otherwise, choose the bigger size.
    • Compare your waist circumference (narrowest part) to the “Body Measurements” table. Choose the size that best fits your waist. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your garment more fitted, as long as your measurement is less than the finished garment measurement; otherwise, choose the bigger size.
    • Compare your hip circumference (widest part) to the “Body Measurements” table. Choose the size that best fits your hips. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your garment more fitted, as long as your measurement is less than the finished garment measurement; otherwise, choose the bigger size.
    • It’s OK to use different sizes for the bust, waist and hip. All you have to do is print the sizes that you need, and blend the lines from one size to the next. See “Printing Instructions” and “Blend Sizes” in the instructions.
    • If you are taller than 5’7” (170 cm) or shorter than 5’4” (163 cm), you should consider lengthening or shortening the bodice and/or skirt (see “Lengthen/Shorten” in the instructions).
    • I highly recommend that you check your fit by making a test garment with inexpensive fabrics that have similar weight as your final garment fabrics.
