Size Guide
Two steps: choose your pattern fit, then size within it. All measurements are finished garment measurements — not body measurements.
Step 1: Choose Your Pattern Fit
Valley Fit — designed for a curved torso. Tapered waist, more room through the hip. If your hip measurement is noticeably wider than your chest, this is your fit.
Ridge Fit — designed for a straight torso. Consistent width from chest to hip. If your chest and hip measurements are similar, or you prefer a boxier silhouette, go Ridge.
Step 2: Size for Your Fit Feel
Between sizes? Always size up.
Use a soft measuring tape. Measure snugly but not tight.
- Chest: circumference below the armpits at the fullest point
- Natural waist: circumference at the narrowest point of your torso
- High hip: circumference at the garment hem level
- Sleeve: from the side of the neck along the raglan seam to the wrist
