Date: 2/4/13 7:37 PM Roughly bust 92, waist 72, hip 97. A UK size 14, but why reduce three numbers to one? |

Date: 2/5/13 3:06 AM Be sure to measure the pattern pieces, those measurements on the envelope are rubbish. |

Date: 2/6/13 7:35 AM What pattern company is the pattern from? I have found (with vogue, simplicity, mccalls and butterick) that I just use the size I would in English sizing and it seems like a close enough match. There can be a lot of problems with too much ease in the patterns etc. etc., so it is just a starting point. ------
