Size chart for our patterns

A few words on size inclusivity: Sometimes it is harder to do your homework than other times. As soon as we started getting into grading our patterns – for a long time we only had one size of all the sewing patterns that were published in our magazine sisterMAG – we asked the professionals that help us in that area to go up sizes beyond 44/46 and to include the grading to 52 or beyond. We quickly learned that this - unfortunately - was a naive thinking. We were taught that we would have to design entirely new patterns for sizes 46-52 that flatter and fit women in the way we are striving to do. 

As we are a super small team with limited resources we do not have the expertise in house - yet - to develop those patterns although we would really like to offer a more diverse range of sizes. As we don’t want to sell something that is ill-fitted and won’t work we are limited to the sizes that we can offer right now. We have a selection of patterns available in the sizes 34-50, you can find all of them here. 

However, if you are an expert in this field and would like to help us in this area (part-time ;)), we are very open to working together and welcome experts in our team. 

Thank you so much for reading.
