Notions & Tools

Vintage patterns are usually sized by bust measurement.  This is the best single measurement for choosing a pattern size.

If you have a larger bust size compared to your dress size, you will need to calculate your dress cup size. It’s very simple. For more info, please click here

We specialise in grading our vintage patterns to other Bust sizes from 32 to 64 inches (82cm to 163cm) on request.
