Mini said... No, there are no finished measurements unfortunately. If you follow the pattern's size chart, and match the body measurements given, the top is designed to have about four inches of ease at bust and hip. Flat pattern measurements are really necessary with this pattern line, as the envelope and instruction sheet are not informative as to fit. Also, the model on the cover has not much body fat or muscle mass, so the picture is not a good preview of the fit on other body types. 1/6/03 5:03 PM
