Sizing: UK 6 – 20 with a B cup or UK 16 – 30 with a D cup. Please check the size chart and finished garment measurements.
The two size ranges are based on different body proportions and bust cup sizes, but for the same height of 5’6″ (167 cm). The 6 – 20 size range is drafted for a sewists’ B cup, which means a difference of 5 cm (2″) between your high bust and full bust measurements. The 16 – 30 size range is drafted for a sewists’ D cup, which means a difference of 10 cm (4″) between your high bust and full bust measurements.
For this pattern, choose the pattern size for which the bust measurement in the table is nearest to your full bust measurement, and if that is a size between 16 and 20 (inclusive), use your high bust measurement to select the appropriate size range to purchase.
Notions: 1.5 m (1.75 yd) of 90 cm (35″) wide lightweight or medium weight fusible interfacing; small buttons, 1-1.2 cm (3/8″-1/2″) diameter, 10 for size range 6-20 or 11 for size range 16-30 // View B only: One pair of 3.8 cm (1 1/2″) D-rings for the belt.
