Hello there and Happy 2020!
It’s great to be kicking off the new year (decade even) with something super exciting – woop woop, I’m ready to pattern test the expanded size ranges for 3 of my most popular designs!
It’s been a long time coming but I now have a new updated size range for the Southbank Sweater, the Carnaby Dress and the Mayfair Dress – not just graded up but adapted, redrafted and refitted patterns created with plus sizes in mind.
The new size range extends from UK 16–28 and the PDFs for this range will be entirely separate products; the overlap of 3 sizes with the original range (6–20) is to hopefully help any customers who need to grade across sizes. Here’s the new size chart:
Metric measurements (cm)
Size 16 | Size 18 | Size 20 | Size 22 | Size 24 | Size 26 | Size 28 | |
Bust | 106 | 111 | 116 | 121 | 126 | 131 | 136 |
Waist | 88 | 93 | 98 | 103 | 108 | 113 | 118 |
Hips | 114 | 119 | 124 | 129 | 134 | 139 | 144 |
Imperial measurements (inches)
Size 16 | Size 18 | Size 20 | Size 22 | Size 24 | Size 26 | Size 28 | |
Bust | 42 | 44 | 46 | 48 | 50 | 52 | 54 |
Waist | 35 | 37 | 39 | 41 | 43 | 45 | 47 |
Hips | 45 | 47 | 49 | 51 | 53 | 55 | 57 |
I’m now looking for sewists in sizes 16 through 28 to pattern test the updated designs. If you fall within the new size range and would be interested in testing firstly – thank you!, and secondly, please complete the form below, indicating which of the 3 designs you’d like to try.
The patterns will be ready for testing from the 22nd of January and I would be asking for feedback by the 5th February, two weeks’ later. All testers who successfully complete the pattern testing will receive the finished pattern, plus a 50% discount code to use on any other products from my shop – not to mention my eternal gratitude!
If you can’t make this test but if you’d like to register for further pattern tests in the new size range please fill out the form as there will be further updated patterns coming in the not-too-distant future…
Thank you!
