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!

Compré este producto porque quería el diseño vintage y el resultado es muy bonito, el patrón es muy bueno, viene en una única medida y tú debes ajustar el largo para que quede en la talla que desees. Sin embargo, las instrucciones no son tan claras como para alguien que inicia en la costura, tengo poca experiencia en ello y tuve que ver un tutorial que explicaba paso a paso y con eso pude armarlo.

So looking forward to sewing this for my friend.

Pattern was easy to use and cut. No problems putting it together, but you should have a good amount of experience with sewing more complex garments before trying this because it's just the pattern and the guide is just for how to cut it out.

Pattern was a bit hard to follow but the final robe came out great
