Sizing

All of our patterns are currently drafted for UK sizes 6–20 and we are in the process of updating designs to have a second size range from UK 16–28. The 6–20 size range is based on a roughly hourglass figure; the 16–28 range shifts slightly towards a pear shape. If you are in sizes 16–20 you can choose which of the two size ranges you prefer. Across all sizes the patterns have been drafted for a B-cup and an average height of 5 ft 6.

The measurements for each size are listed below, as well as in the instructions for each individual pattern. Bust measurements are taken across the widest part of the bust, without dipping in the centre. Waist measurements are taken just below the rib cage (where your hands go if you're putting them 'on your hips'!). Hip measurements are taken at the widest part, approximately 8 inches down from the waist.
