Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have a standard or custom size chart?

My brand's size chart is completely custom, and built with a short waist in mind - hence the shop name! This means that your ribs and your waist are quite close together, but your hip bones are much further from your waistline than the average size chart would indicate. Short waist/Long bum problems are solved right here!
My shop is currently undergoing a huge update, where all old patterns will be receiving a size upgrade, and more instructions, photos, and more! If you purchased a pattern of mine that has since been upgraded, message me and you may be eligible for an upgrade to the Version 2!

I can't print my pattern - It keeps printing out a single blank sheet/only a small part of the pattern!

My upgraded patterns will not have this problem, but my older patterns are required to be opened in Adobe PDF Reader, and printed in "Poster Mode", which automatically divides up the large scale pattern into the printer's default paper size. This mode is only available for free in Adobe PDF Reader!

I haven't received my download! Where is my pattern?

Once you've purchased any item from my shop, the website automatically fulfills the sale by emailing you a PDF called "(Pattern Name) Download Link". Due to the sheer size of some of my patterns (and my system of being able to update patterns for you remotely for free) you'll need to open the PDF and download the full pattern file set from that link! It will automatically open a new browser tab and download the files to your Downloads Folder on your PC or Phone.
Keep that PDF file coped to one or more safe digital places so you can always have access to the file you purchased!If you didn't receive that Download Link PDF (and you have waited a day for the email to show up, and checked your spam folder), contact me! I'll need the email you purchased the file with to verify that you bought something, then we can fix the issue together. :)

I always choose my pattern size by Cup Size - why don't you offer this in your general patterns?

Cup Size is a measurement specifically for bras - It consists of 3 measurements: your Overbust Circumference, your Bust Circumference, then the number that remains when you subtract the latter from the former. That third number means the Cup Size! And as you can probably guess, that varies hugely, especially as people's breasts sit at different heights, curve differently, and we like them to sit in our clothing in certain ways.
It's best to make a mockup first, so you can tailor your bust area to the shape of your bra so it can fit its absolute best.

Why don't you sell the US/UK/AU Clothing sizes?

Because none of those fit me, and that's why I started sewing! I created a custom size chart because a lot of my friends and I couldn't find clothing that fit us, so my size chart is to fill a gap that exists between the standard western size charts.

Custom and personalised orders

Custom and personalised orders are not available, but you are welcome to message me with a pattern suggestion and I'll add it to the list! However, this list is now years long, so don't expect it immediately!

Sizing details

My Custom Size chart is a mostly even grade that corresponds to actual clients, friends and family that I have measured over the years, and a lot of data that has been accrued in that time. It leans more towards a short bodice and long hip area, as well as a smaller bust and larger hips - not usually found in international size charts.
