's a junior pattern, so I assume the sizings are also junior? Cananyone help me translate the "Gr. 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50" intoAmerican pattern sizes? I can't imagine a junior pattern starting offwith a waist of 36?

This is from a Burda pattern envelope (blouse 8503), although not a 'junior' size. (It starts at 38 eur) Eur. US

38 12 40 14 42 16 44 18 and so on

The size chart on the pattern tissue has this info eur size 36 = us size 10 = waist 26"

38 = 12 = 27.75 40 = 14 = 29.25 and so on

hope this helps.

The size range provided is from a US 4/6 through 20/22 (UK sizes 10 to 24). For a size 36 (Burda), the Bust/Waist/Hip in inches is 33/26/35-1/2. Bust depth is 10-1/4". I love Burda patterns, but recognize that they are drafted a little differently than US patterns. If you can get a copy of the magazine or get to a store that carries the Burda catalog, all of sizing/measurements are there. Burda provides ten different measurements for each size in their standard, along with a diagram of what they mean by each measurement. BTW, they size based on a 5'6" figure for women's patterns.
