Featured in the PR book!
Check this out: Burda recently posted a fit guide for Burda patterns on the Burdastyle website!

Click here to link to their step-by-step fit guide, Find Your Burda Size.

Note that their specific, detailed measuring instructions (Step 1 of Find Your Burda Size) are posted on a separate page. Click this link for Burda's How to Measure Yourself.

So exciting to have one less obstacle to trying out Burda/BWOF's excellent patterns!!

(In case you missed it, this previous tip has links to separate fit guides for the Big4 and Kwik Sew patterns.)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ETA: And now there's a step-by-step Burda tutorial for adjusting multi-size patterns: Adjust Patterns for Mixed Sizes

I found it useful to review the measurements - you can so easily forget the basic concepts!
