Aletheia Size Chart
Curvy Sizes 7-14
Aletheia sizing is thoughtfully created to reflect a beautiful proportion, particularly catered for the pear-shaped woman. Of course, if you are sewing your own garment, you can make the perfect fit no matter your proportions.
Measuring to select your pattern size(s):
- While measuring, the tape should be parallel to the floor all the way around.
- Pull the tape firm but without cinching in at the body.
Upper Bust: Measure around your body above the bust and under the arms. Measure without a bra, over skin. This is the best measurement for dresses and tops.
Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust. Measure with the type of bra you intend to wear under the garment.
Natural Waist: This is the narrowest part of your torso. Note - this will not necessarily be where the waistline of your garment will sit.
Lower Waist: Measure around the fullest part of your tummy.
Hip/Seat: Place tape at the fullest part of your hips with feet together. This is the best measurement for skirts and pants.
