Measurements
Please note that...
Our patterns are drafted based on standard body measurements, which may not always align with individual body shapes and sizes. This is where pattern alterations come into play. By making specific adjustments to a pattern, such as lengthening or shortening, widening or narrowing, you can customize the fit to suit your unique body shape, ensuring a comfortable and flattering undergarment or nightwear.
Use the underbust & overbust circumference measurements to choose the right size for your bras, bralettes & bustiers.
Use the bust (overbust) circumference measurement to choose the right size for your top garments, such as tops, slips & robes.
Use the hip circumference measurement to choose the right size for your bottom garments, such as knickers & shorts. If you have a protruding tummy, use the hip plus tummy protrusion circumference measurement.
We use EU/US sizing standards as a basis. EU≠FR/IT (bras, bralettes, bustiers...), EU≠DE/DK/IT (tops, slips, knickers, shorts...). Please see the conversion charts!
