Size guide

Choose your Sewlore pattern size by your body measurements, using the chart for that pattern. Pattern labels and EU references are project labels, not a ready-to-wear size conversion.

SL001 and SL002 body measurements

These two Development Editions include ten size drafts: 6 to 24, with EU references 32 to 50. The measurements below are in centimetres and describe the body, not the finished garment.

Body size and drafted ease

SL001 has a fixed waistband with 3 cm of ease. The back bow does not adjust its size. The drafted length from the upper waistband seam to the fabric hem is 99 cm; optional lace adds 3 cm.

SL002 adds 2 cm at the bust, 2 cm at the waist and 4 cm at the hip. The waist-to-hem length is 98 cm. It is a corset-look dress with no intended waist reduction. Separate cup-size options and a tested height range are not included.

Fit a sample before cutting your final fabric

Both patterns are development editions that have not yet been physically sewn and fit tested. Compare your measurements with the chart, then use the handbook and a complete fitting sample to assess fit and any adjustments. For SL002, check the neckline, bust, torso length and sleeves. Adjust the length for your height and preferred finish.

The product images are AI-generated design concepts, not photographs of garments sewn from these files. Use the technical pattern and handbook as your construction reference.

Measurements for First Release designs

The SL001 and SL002 chart above applies only to those two patterns. Other First Release designs have not yet been drafted, sewn or fit-tested. Their own body charts, finished measurements and intended ease must be confirmed when the files are prepared. Do not use the chart above as a store-wide sizing chart.

Before ordering, contact Sewlore with the design and measurements you want to check. A shared size label does not establish matching fit across different designs. Custom fitting is not included. Our plus size collection explains the verification still needed before assigning designs to an extended range.
