We understand that sizing can be difficult.  If you have any questions about getting the proper size for yourself, we highly recommend that you give us the following measurements in addition to choosing the size you think would work best.  We will e-mail before beginning your order and make sure that we decide together on the size you would like. On the checkout page, there is a place for comments.  If ordering online, this would be the best place to give us the information.

1. Bust (woman) or chest (girl)

2. Waist

3. Hip

4. Your usual "store-bought" size

The two most important measurements are your bust and waist size.  To measure your bust size, wrap a measuring tape around your bust area while wearing a well-fitting bra.  You may notice that your bust size is not the same as your purchased bra size.  To measure your waist, simply wrap the measuring tape around your natural waist (usually right around your belly button) and don't pull too tight.  Compare these to the size charts below.  For women, don't be surprised if your size is bigger or smaller than what you buy in the store or through a catalog.  Pattern sizing can be very different than store sizing.  We have therefore used a standard sizing chart and will compare your measurements to each of our patterns to choose the right size.  If you have questions, please don't hesitate to ask.  If we are at all unsure which size to make for you, we will ask before cutting any garments.  For girls, if their measurements and size don't come close to their age, please send us an e-mail so we can help.  Some very thin ten year olds look like they will fit into a size 6 or 7, but ordering a much smaller size won't work well as sleeves and waist length will be too short. 

The following size charts reflect the chest, waist and hip measurements of the girl/woman, and not the measurement of the finished garment.  Length reflects the approximate finished length of the garment.

Finished Lengths on girls dresses and jumpers vary, based on different patterns.  Most of our girls' wear now has finished length charts directly below each item description.  Please refer to those charts for the specific lengths of each style. If you need an altered length, most styles allow you to lengthen or shorten as an option before adding your item to the cart.

Ladies Size Chart

This is a standard sizing chart.  Do not be concerned if your size is different from what you would normally purchase in a store or by catalog.  We will use your chosen size and measurements (if given) to choose the correct sizing from each of our patterns and will work closely with you if there are any sizing questions.  As a general rule, our dresses and jumpers fit loosely at the waist, which leaves some wiggle room in the sizing.  In dresses and jumpers, your bust size is the most important. If you choose not to give us measurements, please be sure you are ordering the correct size based on the chart below.  Please use the "Contact Us" tab to the left if you have any questions.
