Deer&Doe Size Charts
Deer&Doe drafts patterns in three different size ranges depending on the design. Please note that older patterns may only be available in sizes 34-52.
Deer&Doe’s drafting is based an average height of 1m68 (5’-6") and an hourglass body shape, ie. fuller bust and hips in relation to the waist. However, our patterns will still fit well if you have a different body shape; simply select the different sizes corresponding to you bust, waist and hip measurements and grade between sizes to connect them.
CHOOSING YOUR SIZE
In order to determine which size to use with our patterns, you’ll need to take your measurements. Since every clothing brand bases its sizes on different criteria, the size you need to make might be different than the size you would normally wear.
Deer&Doe patterns (starting with pattern number D0042) are developed in two distinct size ranges: the first size range goes from size 34 to size 48 and is developed from a size 40 block. The second size range goes from size 46 to size 60 (or size 62 for Magnolia and future patterns) and is developed from a size 52 block. Older patterns that have not been drafted in two size ranges are available in sizes 34-52.
Check the charts below to find your size. If your measurements overlap between the two ranges, we recommend trying both versions of the pattern to determine which size range is a better fit for your body shape. For form-fitting patterns, if your measurements fall between sizes we recommend choosing the larger size.
