Size Charts
Closet Core Patterns drafts patterns in three different size ranges depending on the design. Please note that older patterns may only be available in sizes 0-20. You can explore the size charts for all our size ranges below; you can switch between imperial and metric measurements using the toggle on the right.

How to Choose the Right Size Range For You
Since there is some overlap between our two size ranges, you may be wondering which one to choose. The main difference between the two size ranges is that the 14-32 range is drafted for larger busts with a more pear-shaped lower body. If you fall in one of the overlapping sizes, we suggest determining your cup size first by measuring your full bust and high bust and subtracting one from the other. Each inch difference equals one cup size. If you are a D cup or larger, our 14-32 range will ensure the best fit through the bust. If you are an A/B/C cup through the bust and less pear-shaped, the 0-20 range will be the best option.
