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.

THE SHIRT
Sarah is no ordinary shirt/dress. Feminine and drapey yet chic and polished, Sarah is a button-down swing shirt with plenty of ease that clings and skims in all the right places. Mix and match from long, billowy sleeves or short cuffed sleeves, a soft pussy bow necktie or a classic collar, and the option to go classic shirt length or make it a maxi with a longer body and a gathered hem tier.

Sarah 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.
