How do I determine my size?

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin your project, ensure you have measured yourself accurately according to the sizing chart provided in the pattern envelope. Select your fabric based on the recommended weight and drape mentioned in the guide. Before cutting, it is advised to press your fabric to remove any factory creases. For long-term care of the finished garment, follow the specific washing instructions of the fabric you chose; generally, cool water washes and line drying are recommended to preserve the shape and finish of the garment over time. Keep the paper pattern stored in a flat, dry environment to maintain the integrity of the lines for future use.
