I have a copy of a pattern that comes from an American mag that I thought I would like to make, but nowhere on it does it give a size that means the vaguest thing to me. The lines on the pattern are marked from S to 3 XL.
Can anyone tell me what all these sizes would be in either inches or centimetres please?
I looked at a couple patterns easily on hand. It seems: SX in European size ---32-34 S ---------------------------36-38 M ---------------------------40-42 L-----------------------------44-46 XL---------------------------48-50 That is the largest size on this particular pattern, but I would think it'd just continue up to 2XL------52-54 and 3XL------56-58. Hope this helps. Emily
Vogue has a very nice chart on their tech center pages:
The charts show standard pattern "sizes" along with chest-bust-waist-hip measurements in both inches and centimeters.
The "How To Choose Your Size" link has good information on
*how* to measure, and how to best seclect a pattern size. Vogue uses the standard US pattern sizing AFAIK.HTH,
Beverly
Thank so much. It did indeed help very much. And thanks Beverley for the Vogue site. I didn't have time to check it out fully last night as a thunderstorm was brewing and as we've already had 2 machine fried, I had to log off and pull all plugs out before I had a good chance to see it all.
