This pattern is sized using Australian sizing. If you're from another country, the sizing numbers may differ slightly from what you are used to. For example, AU Size 6 = (approximately) US Size 2.
To determine size, measure around the hip/seat (20cm or 8" down from the natural waist). The tape measure should be firm but not tight. Do not measure over clothing.
You will find more detailed information in the Size & Fit section of the pattern (pages 4- 5).
FABRIC, TOOLS & SUPPLIES:

Please note the following:
- CONTRAST BANDS: add 10cm (4”) of contrast fabric
- FLUTTER: Add 30cm or 1/4 yard
- SHRINKAGE: The above estimates do NOT allow for fabric shrinkage. When washed, some fabrics (like rayon) shrink a lot, others hardly shrink at all. Always order more that the requirements & always pre-wash before cutting to avoid your garment being too short or small.
- SWAY BACK ADJUSTMENT: If you make a sway back adjustment, you will need extra fabric.
- DIRECTIONAL FABRIC: If your fabric has a directional print or a nap like velour, you will need extra fabric. I recommend you cut out the pattern & lay the pieces down on a flat surface to estimate fabric needs for directional fabric.
FABRIC SUGGESTIONS: 4-way stretch fabric with 50-100% horizontal stretch & a minimum of 25% vertical stretch.
Suitable fabrics include cotton elastane, poly elastane, poly jersey, Boo! spandex, swimwear fabric, ponte, rayon elastane, rayon bamboo elastane, stretch lace, stretch velour, double brushed polyester.
