*Follow these instructions to calculate your fabric stretch percentage:

IMPERIAL :
Take a ruler/measuring tape and lay your fabric beside it. Hold fabric with your left fingers at 0″, right fingers at 5″.
Stretch until you feel resistance and look at how far you’ve stretched the fabric.
Calculate “stretched measurement” minus 5; divide number by 5 and multiply by 100
e.g. stretch from 5″ to 7″:
7-5=2
2/5=0.4
0.4 x 100 = 40%

METRIC:
Take a ruler/measuring tape and lay your fabric beside it. Hold fabric with your left fingers at 0 cm, right fingers at 10 cm.
Stretch until you feel resistance and look at how far you’ve stretched the fabric.
Stretch up to 16 cm –> 60% stretch, stretch up to 12 cm –> 20% stretch.

COMMON STRETCH PERCENTAGES:
5″ to 5 1/2″ = 10%
5″ to 6″ = 20%
5″ to 7″ = 40%
5″ to 8″ = 60%

Even though all patterns are made according to the sizes in the sizing chart, you should always check the sizes by measuring the paper pattern before cutting out your pieces.
As for any sewing pattern, consider making a mock-up when possible. Don’t hesitate to message me should you feel like something isn’t quite right!

To make the pattern as customizable as possible, this pattern does not yet include seam allowance. While instructions on the recommended seam allowance are included, please don’t hesitate to ask me to draft the pattern with seam allowance included for you! (Should a piece already include seam allowance, this will be mentioned in the pattern instructions and on the pattern sheet.)

If you need a different size, send me a message, before buying the pattern, with your bust, waist and hip measurements.
Occasionally, I will need more measurements to alter the pattern, and I will send you a message indicating what measurements I need.

Custom size patterns will only be made once I have all the measurements required.
