FIT & DRAFTING NOTES
This pattern is drafted for a height of 5'6" (168cm). You can use the lengthen/shorten lines on the pattern to tailor the garment to your height.
The Nicole Knit Dress is fitted through the chest and semi-fitted through the waist and hips with a column skirt shape. View C is a maxi length that hits at the ankle, View D is a midi length that hits the mid-calf.
This pattern includes two size ranges that have been drafted separately to accommodate different body proportions.
Range 1 is drafted for a sewing B cup size, meaning there is a 2" (5cm) difference between the high chest and chest measurement, so Range 1 fits a smaller chest-to-waist ratio.
Range 2 is drafted for a sewing C cup size, meaning there is a 3" (7.6cm) difference between the high chest and chest measurement, so Range 2 fits a body with a larger chest-to-waist ratio.
As the finished garment measurements include negative ease, we recommend you use the size chart to determine your size.
