On vogue patterns the finished garment measurements are printed on the pattern pieces. I just find whatever is the closest fitting part of the garment (in this case the waist) and find the measurement closest to mine and cut that size. That way I can have a little bit of control over how much wearing ease I get, because I've found I usually prefer a closer fit than what the pattern sizing tells me.sallieforrernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937322106192241083.post-28801706355326516372014-08-31T07:36:09.800-07:002014-08-31T07:36:09.800-07:00Thanks!!!

It's probably overkill to include a totally different set of instructions, but maybe it would be possible to include a few tips? That way if you DO make it with a knit you'll get a more long-lasting fabric if you construct it a little differently. Just a thought! Regardless, I love this pattern, it's a really beautiful design, and it was nice making up something a little more complicated.
