SIZING GUIDE

the sartorial project's current pattern collection is available for women in size 8 to 26 or XS to 3XL and for men XS to 3XL, and is comparable to general Australian garment sizing. The size range for women is based on a B-C cup and and height of 160 to 170cm. Garments in the size 18-26 selection are graded for curvier figures. The majority of patterns in the collection are nested and come as size sets: XS-3XL.

Each sewing pattern in the PATTERN SHOP comes complete with a size guide and a set of finished garment measurements, including fabric requirements for each size.

Each sewing pattern has been designed with seam allowance included, design and wearing ease.

how to measure your body

It is always good to double check your body measurements to make sure you select the correct size pattern. If you are between sizes, we suggest that you select:

-for tops; the size that is the closest size match for your bust

-for bottoms; the size that is the closest size matches your hips

-for dresses; the size that is the closest size match for your bust

For dresses and tops, we suggest matching the size to your bust, as adjusting armholes and bust width on your pattern can be a bit trickier to do. You can then blend between sizes for other areas of the body such as hips. Please see the tutorial on our LEARN+DISCOVER page. If in doubt always take the time to make a toile of your garment to check the size and make adjustments to the sewing pattern for your perfect fit.
