Use the size chart above to find your closest modern-day size equivalent in the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the USA or Canada, using your bust measurement in inches or centimetres.
How to Measure Your Bust
- Wear a well-fitting bra.
- Wrap a measuring tape around the fullest part of your bust.
- Keep the tape level across your back and comfortably snug, without pulling it tight.
- Record your measurement in inches or centimetres and compare it with our size chart.
For the best fit, always choose your pattern size based on your body measurements, not your usual shop size. Always check your bust measurement before ordering!

Though I‘m not the best seamster, I could follow the pattern pretty good! With some help I made it more fitting to my body and now I‘m really proud of the result! So thank you!
This is a great pattern if you're needing some authentic 1970s fashion. As someone else mentioned, the pattern is really more of a wide-leg pant than a true bell bottom, but I was able to take it in a bit at the knee and get the look I was going for. The zipper instructions are pretty vague, so I'd recommend using a different approach there if you're not fully comfortable with zippers. But overall, this was a great pattern for the pants I needed.
I liked the pants design
Will be fun to have some 70s style trousers made.
Nice pattern. These are more of a wide leg and not a true flare.
