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!

Great pattern for a jacket that’s back in vogue. I’m going to try it in a blue linen-like fabric, for starters. Thank you!

This is the first time I have used a pdf delivered pattern. The documents all came very quickly but it did take time to work out the pattern pieces and stick them all together.

I haven't made it up yet but the pattern went together without too much trouble and I will be making it next week.
