SIZES 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) [6, 7, 8, 9] (10, 11, 12)

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
Chest/High Hip Circumference: 34.5 (37.5, 40.5, 43.5, 46.5) [49.5, 52.5, 55.5, 58.5] (61.5, 64.5, 67.5) in/ 87.5 (95.5, 103, 110.5, 118) [125.5, 133.5, 141, 148.5] (156, 164, 171.5) cm

Garment is designed to be worn with approx 4.5-5 in/12-13 cm of positive ease and to sit at your high hip (right below waist). Please choose your size according to your actual full chest measurement and the measurements and information provided on pages 9 & 10.

How to choose your size: Lately is designed to be worn with approx 4.5-5 in/12-13 cm of positive ease. This means that it is designed to fit 4.5-5 in/12-13 cm larger than your actual chest size. With its drawstring hem, Lately should end at your high hip (right below waist, NOT at your full hip) when worn. You can also choose to modify Lately by adding more ease, extending the length to below the full hip, and more. Please use the information and measurements above/below and on pages 9 & 10 of pattern to assist you in selecting a pattern size and/or making modifications.

Measure your full chest circumference (or the largest part of your upper body, keeping in mind that the garment's chest and hip circumferences are the same). Use that measurement to see which pattern size correlates closest to yours: Sizes 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) [6, 7, 8, 9] (10, 11, 12) are designed to fit an actual full chest/high hip circumference of 30 (33, 36, 39, 42) [45, 48, 51, 54] (57, 60, 63) in/76 (84, 91.5, 99, 106.5) [114.5, 122, 129.5, 137] (145, 152.5, 160) cm. If you are between sizes or would like more positive ease, we definitely recommend sizing up.

For Example: If your full chest (or high hip circumference) measures 35.25 in/89.5 cm you would make Size 3 for a finished garment circumference of 40.5 in/103 cm, which would you give you approx 5.25 in/13.5 cm of positive ease.

There are additional measurements for all pattern sizes in the PDF to confirm your desired fit. Note that the pattern is written to allow for both body and sleeve length adjustments (lengthening either or both may require more yardage). The Lately PDF includes a full page on sizing and fit help instructions.
