Lara on May 23, 2026
4 out of 5 starsI like the finished product, but there's some conflict on the listing about it being for beginners or advanced. It's not too complicated but there are some instructions that are a bit unclear (eg. the neckline is actually a facing that gets turned under) so some more detail would be helpful.

Frequently asked questions
Возможность оптовых продаж
Yes, we support emerging brands! You can purchase our complete size ranges under special terms. Please send us a message for more details.
How do I choose the correct size?
Use your body measurements, not your usual clothing size.
Tops, dresses, outerwear → choose by bust/chest
Trousers, skirts → choose by hips
All patterns are listed in EU sizes.
Use the Size Guide for full sizing instructions, including size conversion charts, height reference, and guidance for between-sizes decisions.
Why is my pattern size different from store sizes?
Ready-to-wear brands use their own sizing systems.
Our patterns are based on body measurements, so your size may differ.
What if my measurements don’t match one size exactly?
Choose the size based on your key measurement (bust or hips depending on garment type).
Patterns are sold as single sizes, so minor adjustments may be needed during sewing.
Are your patterns drafted for a specific height?
Yes.
Women’s patterns: 170–176 cm
Men’s patterns: 176–180 cm
If you are outside this range, length adjustments may be needed.
Can I exchange a pattern if I chose the wrong size?
Yes — we offer a one-time size exchange.
request within 14 days of purchase

limited to one exchange per order

You can print:
A4 → at home or at any print shop
Large-Format (600 mm / 900 mm wide) → at a print shop with large-format printing
