THE SEARCH FOR THE (ALMOST) PERFECT GOWN PATTERN
Before you begin your gown pattern search, you must know your body’s measurements. Though patterns are sold by clothing size, pattern sizing differs from street clothing sizes. If you’re a size 8 in street clothes, don’t expect a size 8 pattern to work for you. It will likely be too small. Always, always, always buy a pattern based on the following measurements:
Bust: Measure around the fullest part of the bust, making sure the tape measure is straight across your back.
Waist: Measure around your natural waistline.
Low Hip: Measure around the fullest part of your hips. For most people this is 7″ – 9″ below your waist.
When measuring, the measuring tape should be comfortably snug – but never tight - around the body.
These measurements are of the utmost importance when shopping for a pattern. Know them by heart and don’t try to “size down” to a smaller size. You’ll only end up in tears and an ill-fitting dress.
Got that out of the way? Great! Let’s go find some wedding gown patterns.
