Measurements and Fit - It's all in the 'ease'....What is wearing ease?
Ease is the difference in measurements between your body and the garment, or in other words, the extra space that is "built in" to give the finished garment a particular fit and overall look. This extra space is necessary to allow you to move whilst wearing your garment. For jumpers, cardigans and vests, ease values are usually measured and calculated at the widest point of the chest or the fullest part of the bust.
Measure a favourite jumper!
Different styles of clothing call for different amounts of ease. Always compare like with like. Jumpers and cardigans that will be worn over something else obviously need more ease than tops that will be worn over nothing but undergarments.
To decide which size to order, compare the measurements in the chart below with the actual measurements of one of your garments.
| Size | (a) Chest | (b) Length | (c) Sleeve |
|---|---|---|---|
| X Small | 48 | 57 | 75 |
| Small | 51 | 62 | 78 |
| Medium | 53 | 66 | 81 |
| Large | 56 | 68 | 84 |
| X Large | 60 | 73 | 87 |
| XX Large | 62 | 76 | 89 |
| XXX Large | 65 | 79 | 91 |
Simply take these measurements from your favourite garment: (for accuracy, lie your garment on a hard surface such as a table or the floor before measuring) and then compare them to the chart below.
(a) - the chest width of your favourite garment. Measuring from your own garment will ensure the fit you like. Choose your size from this measurement using the chart below.
(b) - the length of your garment from the centre back neck (below the neckband)
(c) - from the centre back neck to wrist for the sleeve length
****** Variations******
Some of our styles vary in length from the standard patterns:
...the reverse stocking stitch cropped jacket and button up vests are cropped styles and are approximately 5cm shorter than our standard pattern length.
If your measurements for (b) and (c) do not match the chart - write them down and make a note in the box provided for special instructions when you order. There is no charge for added sleeve length. There is no charge for extra body length of up to 4cm. Over 4cm in extra body length - please contact us for a quote before ordering. Measurement (a) is non negotiable!
