- To Select your pattern size, use your BODY MEASUREMENTS, not your Ready-To-Wear size.
- All Simplicity patterns are Multi-Sized to help you get a Custom Fit.
- Finished Garment Measurements are printed on the pattern tissue and on the back of many pattern envelopes. Compare these against the Body Measurement Chart for your size. The difference is the amount of ease allowed.
- To Take Accurate Body Measurements: Follow the How To Measure steps on the How to Measure web page. Periodically check your measurements for changes.
- Find your figure type: Use height and back waist length measurements and descriptions in Measurement Charts to determine your figure type.
| Garment | Use this MEASUREMENT for correct size |
|---|---|
| Dresses, Tops, Jackets and Separates | BUST: (if you have more than 2 1/2” (6.3cm) difference between and High Bust, select your pattern size by HIGH BUST* measurement. |
| Skirts & Pants | WAIST measurement: (if your hips are two sizes or more larger than your waist, use HIP measurement. |
| Maternity | SAME PATTERN SIZE you used before pregnancy. |
| Between Two Sizes | SMALLER SIZE for a closer fit, or if you are small-boned, LARGER SIZE for a looser fit. |
- Misses patterns are made for a B cup with 2 1/2" (6.3cm) difference between Bust and High Bust measurement."
