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

  1. Wear a well-fitting bra.
  2. Wrap a measuring tape around the fullest part of your bust.
  3. Keep the tape level across your back and comfortably snug, without pulling it tight.
  4. 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!

I made the version with suspenders, shorter length. It was not difficult, the assembly of the pattern or skirt. I will likely make the longer version without suspenders next. I altered the pattern to fit my waist, but neglected to make sure the underbust would fit. That ended up being too big. My fault. Pattern is great.

Wonderful seller! I didn't pay attantion to the waist measurement and bought WAY too small a size and the seller let me trade in for the size I needed! I cannot wait to wear the finished piece.

It's nice, but the finished product isn't as full as the skirt looks in the illustration, even with a petticoat.

The pattern arrived instantly after payment. The alignment seems to be slightly off on each page making it a bit more difficult to put together but overall the pattern works great.
