    1. Hi, you can use the pattern for petite sizes directly, because the petite sizes are made for women who are under 158cm tall.

    2. I want to make the XXL size. I am actually 117cm (46 inches) at my hip measurement. You have listed 112cm (44 inches) for xxL so I thought I could make it work. However when I printed the XXL pattern it says on the pattern that the hip measurement was only 109cm (43 inches). What would you suggest I do?

    3. Hi, what design did you choose to print out? If it has a flared skirt then don't worry, just use the given number. If it has a fitted skirt, you can add 1-2cm at the widest part of the skirt (usually marked with a notch). Usually the dresses are made with 7cm ease at the hip, plus the stretch of the fabric you use, it won't be too much of a problem.

      Dress patterns posted before 2019 were made using a free online tool (Sewist.com) where users input a set of existing mesurements and get the pattern (with a bit of difference in measurements like the pattern you printed), but now the service is no longer free, I cannot alter them for you now. But for patterns made since 2019, you can give me the link and I will send you the altered ones.

    4. Thanks for your response. I printed the simple shift with the slit neck. I didn't want to go to all the work of taping it together if it would be too small to work with. Are your patterns designed for knit fabric? I was hoping to use a woven.

  2. Hi, I 'd like to sew the Lana Flared midi-skirt, so in love with this pattern! If I look at the size chart, I should fit in size XXL, but only my waist is 93 cm instead of 85 :-( How can I solve this problem? (except for going on a diet) :-)
