Selecting your size
Compare your waist measurement to the size chart above to select your base size. If your waist is two or more sizes smaller than your hip, you may want to select a size that falls in between them. The back of the skirt is elasticized and can be adjusted to fit your waist within about one size of your hip.
Before cutting
To save paper and printing costs, the Front and Back pieces are not the full length of the skirt. To achieve the finished length below, lengthen the pieces so they measure 32” (81.5cm) long at the side seams. Additionally, please ensure you only print the size/pages you need as we have not nested/stacked the Front pieces so that the pleating scheme is as clear as possible.
Alterations in length can be easily made by shortening or lengthening at the hem.
It is always recommended to sew a toile/muslin before cutting in to your 'good' fabric.
We often get asked what height our patterns are drafted for
We don’t note this on our patterns because the body’s proportions can make an overall height very misleading.
For example, you might technically be the “same height” as the draft, but you might have proportionally longer legs. In that case, a pants pattern may be very short for you. We do not subscribe to the notion of “normal bodies” and that is why we provide finished garment measurements instead of drafting height.
For all patterns (not just ours!), we always recommend comparing the finished measurements (and measurements taken from the pattern itself) to your body. Use the shorten/lengthen lines to adjust as necessary.
