Sizing Chart
Pattern sizing
Measuring
Bust
Circumference around your ribcage at the fullest part of your bust. This is usually nipple height.
Waist
This can be a little confusing because a lot of people don’t actually know where their natural waist is. It is not always the smallest part of your torso if you don’t happen to have an hourglass shape. Your waist is located halfway between the end of your ribs and the top of your hip bones.
Hips
The hip measurement is not literally taken from around your hip bones, rather, the hip measurement indicates the fullest part around your bottom.

Sandeep is a multi-sized sewing pattern from B Cup UK 2-24 / US 00-20 and D Cup UK 16-38 / US 12-34*.
*Please note - dressmaker's cup sizes have absolutely nothing in common with bra sizes! Dressmaker's cup sizes relate to the ratio between your high bust and full bust measurements, whereas your bra size relates to the ratio between your full bust and under bust measurements. A dressmaker's B cup indicates that the full bust that is 2" larger than the high bust, while a dressmaker's D cup indicates that the full bust that is 4" larger than the high bust.
Copyshop files (B cup): 5x A0 sheets
Copyshop files (D cup): 8x A0 sheets
Print at home files (B cup): 15x A4/US letter (bodice); 93x A4/US letter (skirt)
Print at home files (D cup): 19x A4/US letter (bodice); 105x A4/US letter (skirt)
Light - medium weight wovens are best for Sandeep, and we hope you’ll see that the design of this dress is an invitation to crack out something special! Tencel twill, viscose rayon, broderie Anglaise, a wide range of silks and even linen blends will work well.
For our samples, we used a sandy lyocell twill and a black floral viscose from Sister Mintaka, and a purple deadstock crepe from New Craft House.
