Size & fit guide

Which pattern suits me?

Any pattern is for anyone — the labels describe the shape, not who may wear it. If shoulders and sleeves are usually too long for you, the women’s pattern will fit better. If bodies are usually too short, try the men’s. If you like everything a little loose, unisex.

How to measure

• Chest. Around the fullest part, tape level and not tight.
• Waist. Where you wear your trousers, usually just below the navel.
• Inseam. From the crotch seam of a pair of trousers you like to the hem.
• The quick way. Lay a top you like flat, measure straight across from armpit to armpit, and match it to the “chest, flat” column.

Narrower shoulder, shaped through the waist on fitted pieces, slightly longer at the back on boxy ones.
