One stroke, yours alone!
Between sizes, a small bust, wide hips. Did you think sewing would solve the problems of ready-to-wear clothing and finally let you make bespoke garments? Well, bad news.
Even in sewing, pattern companies only offer standard sizes. Referring to a measurement chart, you cut out your pattern along the line corresponding to “your” new size. Size 38 from one company, 40 from another, sometimes 36. But what do you do when your body doesn’t fit into the same category? Do you switch lines? Cheat and cut in the middle?
Unless you have many years of experience, or even a patternmaking qualification, or a degree in mathematics, it is impossible to calculate and scientifically adjust the pattern provided. There is no way to obtain a pattern adjusted to your measurements.
We are taking the gamble of offering each person a unique pattern. Our patterns don’t have 7 lines but just one. Yours!
