01 MISSY FIT VS PLUS SIZE DRESS FORMS?
In general, you might say the Missy Fit is for US sizes 2-12 and the Plus Size is for sizes 14-28. But every body is differently proportioned, so it is not always such a clear difference. The Missy Fit is for bodies that are not so curvy, while the Plus Size pattern is for people whose bodies are curvier.
02 WHICH PRINT FORMAT SHOULD I SELECT TO PRINT AT HOME?
The two most commonly used formats for printing at home are Letter and A4. This depends on your country and location.
03 MY BODY IS NOT SYMMETRICAL?
If your body is not symmetrical, just send us an email at [email protected]. You will purchase one pattern that reflects the measurements for one side of your body, and we will reprocess the pattern with measurements for the other half of your body. Then you can "Franken-pattern" two halves together (we charge $2 for pattern reprocessing).
04 HOW DO I ORDER?
Just choose the right Dress Form Sewing Pattern and enter your measurements. Follow the suggestions to correctly fill in your measurements. Pay for your order.
05 I MADE A MISTAKE WITH MY MEASUREMENTS. CAN I REPROCESS MY PATTERN?
How can I reprocess my pattern? - We assist customers in reprocessing their patterns for a cost of $2. Please send your new measurements to us via email at [email protected], and send your payment of $2 per pattern via PayPal to [email protected]. Please include up to 6 new measurements at a time.
06 I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO TAKE THIS MEASUREMENT
