Measuring Guidelines
When using Ankany Patterns, measure your bust, waist, and hip circumference. Keep the measuring tape straight and parallel to the floor. Stand naturally and measure the fullest parts of your body. It’s important to note that undergarments can affect your figure’s shape, so wear appropriate undergarments matching your project.
Selecting Your Size
The sizing is determined by the bust measurement. If you fall between sizes, opt for the larger size and make adjustments to the pattern accordingly.
The Historical Silhouette
As you embark on your sewing journey, keep in mind that my patterns are inspired by the historical silhouette. While they capture the essence of bygone eras, adjustments may be necessary to ensure they fit modern bodies and preferences seamlessly. I highly recommend crafting a mock-up to refine the silhouette, taking into account the nuances of period-inspired designs and the individuality of every body’s shape. This attention to detail will help
you achieve the perfect fit.
