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!

Great pattern, using it now.
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.
Pattern easy to print and assemble. Haven't made it yet but I'm sure it will be just fine.
I am making a Spoke from the mirror universe jacket with this pattern. Just made some alterations to the size and style. I'm not finished, but I have no complaints!
Nice pattern. Thank you so much!
Good instructions. Print outs worked as described.
Bonjour
Merci beaucoup pour votre produit. Dommage qu'il n'y ait pas plusieurs tailles. Très facile d'utilisation et heureuse d'avoir un classique.
Livré dans les temps.
Good reference for my project. Helped me achieve the silhouette I was looking for. Easy print and assemble.
look forward to making this, no issues with the files, thanks
