In case your measurements lie between multiple sizes, choose the right size based on the style of the garment you are sewing; tops, such as blouses and jackets should be chosen based on the bust and waist measurements, whilst bottoms, such as skirts and trousers, should be chosen based on the hip and waist measurements. For dresses, jumpsuits and long coats, the size should be chosen based on some kind of ‘average’, or where the garment will be most fitted. If any of your body measurements differ from the size you have chosen, please contact us on the enquiry page and we will do our best to help cater to your requirements.
