We understand that sizing can be difficult. Our size charts below are an attempt to reflect the basic sizing for all our different patterns. If you have any questions about getting the proper size for yourself, we highly recommend that you give us measurements in addition to choosing the size you think would work best. If the item you are ordering did not ask for your measurements, on the checkout page, there is a place for comments. Please give us your bust/chest size, waist measurement, hip measurement, your usual store bought size and if buying for a child their age. You may also tell us if you want a garment to have a trim or looser fit. We will honestly do our very best to get sizing right.
The two most important measurements are your bust and waist measurements. To measure your bust size, wrap a measuring tape around your chest area while wearing the same style bra that you will wear wear with the garment you are purchasing. You may notice that your bust size is not the same as your bra size. To measure your waist, simply wrap the measuring tape around your natural waist at the smallest point and don't pull too tight. For girls, if measurements and size don't come close to their age and similar to what you are purchasing in stores, please send us an e-mail so we can help.
The following size charts reflect the chest, waist and hip measurements of the child or woman and not the measurement of the finished garment. Length reflects the approximate finished length of dresses. Specific listings with different lengths will specify finished length.

Finished Lengths on girls dresses and jumpers vary, based on different patterns. Most of our girls wear have 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. If they do not, is because that particular garment is difficult to alter.
Ladies and Ladies Plus Size Charts
This is a standard sizing chart. Do not be concerned if your size is different from what you would normally purchase in a store. Because we use patterns from different manufacturers as well as our own, sizing from a chart can be a bit arbitrary. It is incredibly helpful if you give us your measurements whenever we ask for it as you order each item. 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 finish with about a 4" ease at the bust. 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 Form you have any questions. Because our custom made clothing is not returnable, it is SO worth one or two emails to ensure that we are making the best size for you. As with our girls clothing, most skirt and dress selections will tell you the approximate finished lengths and allow you to shorten or lengthen as you desire.
