For the pattern to have the right fit, you need to know your right size. To do this, you need to take three key measurements.

- BUST: Measure over the widest part of your chest.

- WAIST: Bend slightly to the side, place the measuring tape around where your bend is, and measure.

- HIPS: Place your feet hip-width apart, and measure around the fullest part of your hips.

.

 *Your measurement tape should not be too tight or loose.

.

*If you are in between sizes, and are using stretchy fabric, size down.

**If you are working on a top piece, (top/dress) choose your pattern primarily based on your bust measurement, and you can adjust waist area and hip area if needed.

***If you are working on a bottom piece, (skirt/pants) choose your size primarily based on your hip measurement and adjust waist area if needed.
