GoldLeaf said:I know that when reading the measurements for a garment (on ebay for example) and it says "36 inch bust" it would be most suited for a lady with a 34-35 inch bust so that it isn't super tight and uncomfortable.
However, with a pattern for a 36 inch bust, is it refering to the lady's measurements, or to the finished garment, which would most likely be larger than 36 inches?
I always assumed it was for a lady with a 36 inch bust with a finished size slightly larger.
goldleaf, i know in my vintage knitting patterns if the size is "36" then it's supposed to fit someone who has a 34-inch bust. i'm pretty sure that my vintage patterns are the same way.
i know i've seen an article on either getcrafty.com or craftster that was all tips for vintage sewing, but now i can't find it. i'm pretty sure it covered stuff like this. anyone have a link to it?
