What sizes does this pattern include?

Troubleshooting
Pattern pieces do not match up
Ensure you are using the correct size and have cut precisely along the lines. Double-check that pattern pieces are oriented correctly and that seam allowances are consistent.
Garment fits too tight or too loose
Make a muslin (test garment) before cutting into your final fabric. Adjust the pattern pieces by adding or removing width and length, particularly at the side seams and bust.
Fabric is stretching out of shape while sewing
Use the correct needle for knit fabrics (ballpoint or jersey needle) and a suitable stitch on your sewing machine (like a zigzag or stretch stitch). Avoid pulling or stretching the fabric as you sew.
Bust darts look uneven
Mark the dart points accurately on the fabric. Sew darts smoothly, tapering to a fine point at the apex. Press darts as instructed, usually towards the center.
