All About Our Pattern Sizes

We have patterns that are oversized, fitted, loose, and include sizes 6-28!  That could cause confusion for just about anyone. So let's see if we can make it a bit simpler with our sizing chart and some information about the different types of patterns.

General Sizing Chart

Size	Bust	Hips		Size	Bust	Hips
6-8 10-12 14-16	35" 37-1/2" 40-1/2"	37-1/2" 40" 43"		18-20 22-24 26-28	43-1/2" 46-1/2" 49-1/2"	46" 49" 52"

The above chart will help you in deciding what size to cut out on the pattern. All our patterns include the size range listed in each individual description.

Cutwork Applique Vests

These are normally slightly oversized as the construction does not lend itself to a fitted style. Remember to take into account the thickness of your batting and the amount of quilting you might put on the pattern. Personal comfort is key here.

It's a Frame Up allows you to make the cutwork applique vests in sizes up to a 3X.

Self Expression

Celtic Dreams is a moderately fitted style, but it has a very full peplum and slightly oversized shoulders to balance the peplum. You can figure your pattern size on the above chart; we always do advise that your make up a test muslin to really fit Celtic Dreams proper.

Glories is a quilted vest/jacket without darts.  It too is slightly oversized and you'll need to size it according to your bust sizing.  Again, because of a possible added thickness, you might want to make a simply muslin shape first.

Keshy, Swing Time, and All Wrapped Up are all looser fitting garments without darts.  I do love comfort!

Coloring Blocks does not have darts either, but it is a straight up-and-down garment so you'll need to size it to your largest measurement: bust, waist or hips.
