With the Disney tangled pattern there was no such line, yet they didn't tell you to add a seam allowance. Am I suppose to add 5/8" along the outside of the pattern? I know a lot of you out there have made this pattern, please help. Thank you, Pat

It will state otherwise on the pattern, along a hemline or some such. I've never seen a Simplicity that didn't have the seam allowances already on it.

All the Simplicity patterns that I've used has seam allowances already in the pattern. On occasion where the seam allowance is not 5/8", it is usually noted in the pattern and/or instructions. Good luck I'm starting Halloween costumes, too. ------ www.lolitapatterns.com

I think they were more popular when patterns were sold one size to an envelope.

I don't recall there bveing any other allowance used. As others have indicated, it would be hard to show a seam allowance on a multi-sized pattern. ------ "We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are."
