⟡ About Fit & Ease

How Our Sizing Works

All of our patterns are multi‑sized, and every size is included in each pattern. We use a measurement‑based sizing system similar to bridalwear, so your usual retail size or standard pattern size may not correspond to our chart. Select your size using your body measurements, choosing the closest match for each area. You can achieve an excellent fit by customizing your size across the three main measurement points.

Misses Fit

Our misses block is drafted for a true hourglass figure with broader shoulders, a full B‑cup bust, a long waist, and a height of 5’7″. Fitted styles generally include:

  • 3″ full‑bust ease
  • 0–1″ waist ease
  • 2″ hip ease

Additional design ease may be added depending on the style. To understand the finished garment fit, refer to the body measurements in the chart and add the ease amounts listed above.

Plus Fit

Our plus block is drafted for a different distribution of curves than the misses block, with narrower shoulders, a fuller waist and hip, a slightly shorter waist length, and a height of 5’7″. Plus patterns include cup sizes from C–F, which vary by style. Fitted styles include:

  • 2.5″ full‑bust ease (to support a smooth fit on a fuller bust)
  • 1″ waist ease
  • 4″ hip ease

Additional design ease may be added depending on the style. To understand the finished garment fit, refer to the body measurements in the chart and add the ease amounts listed above.

1 review for Spin Skirt Sewing Pattern

  1. Laura Kimmel –

    This is a beautiful skirt once you sew it! Yes it really does swing. This skirt comes with options and you can use it as a blank slate. The panel hides a tummy with a little bulge, that I like to call my daughters old apartment. It’s so easy to fit, flattering and feminine. As par, Laura ‘s directions and fitting are easy,excellent, and successful. She is a designer and instructor that is available and willing to answer any questions about her patterns. My daughter and I have made two already, and I’m looking forward to the one with the ruffles next! The ruffles are all marked on the pattern, how easy is that?
