Not sure if anyone uses these but I found this by chance.  I thought it might be useful for people who might not know what size patterns to use/start with.  Plug in your measurements and they tell you what size you should start with.

Further investigation revealed lots of info about the pattern sizing and the difference between their two ranges.  Also lots of tutorials etc.

It is very useful and I'm thrilled they've started offering smaller sizes as some of us more petite ladies have lumps curves, too. I only usually need to add an inch or so of bust to a pattern that fits across my back but its still a faff on.

I found it interesting reading about the difference in the drafts in the two size ranges.

Thanks for this @Ohsewsimple , I will have a read later.  It's always good to have plenty of sizing information.

Just for fun, I entered my measurements on the Calculator. ;) I have a small bust, chunky waist and narrow hips. The results were interesting. They advised me to start with a size 14, do a small bust adjustment, then grade out to a 20 for the waist, and in again to a size 8 for the hips!! The mind boggles. :rolleyes: I'm obviously not the shape they usually cater for. :)
