Due to the inclusive size range of the Woodhaven Apron, it is best to choose your size based on the finished garment measurements. The intended fit of the Woodhaven Apron is boxy and slightly longer than traditional aprons. The top of the apron should hit just below your collarbone and the hem at mid-thigh. If you would like your apron longer or shorter simply add extra inches to the length of the pattern or shorten the pattern at the hem, keeping in mind not to get too close to the pockets. The sides of the apron should wrap around your waist and hip towards the back.
