Body Measurements
This garment is designed to have a very relaxed fit throughout the hips and crotch, while being snug around the waist. If you prefer a slimmer fit, we recommend sizing down.
We recommend choosing the size or sizes that are closest to your waist and hip measurements. If those measurements do not correlate to one size, no worries! Consider grading between sizes by simply drawing a new line between the waist and hip measurement of the two sizes.
If your waist measurement falls in between two sizes, choose the larger size. You can always trim down the elastic before inserting it into the waistband to get your preferred fit.
Fabric Requirements
This chart shows the exact fabric requirements needed if the fabric is cut while flat and not folded.
The measurements are the minimum amounts needed and does not account for fabric shrinkage because all fabrics shrink at different rates. Please take this into account when choosing fabric.
