FPA products may use different cuts and fabrics. Always use the measurements shown on the individual product page as the primary reference.
How to measure
Chest
Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level and comfortable.
Waist
Measure around your natural waist without pulling the tape tight.
Hips
Measure around the fullest part of your hips with your feet together.
Inseam
Measure from the top of the inside leg to the ankle.
Garment comparison
For the most practical comparison, lay a similar garment flat and compare its measurements with those listed on the product page.
Choosing your fit
Consider the intended silhouette shown in the product photographs. If you are between sizes or need product-specific help, contact support@futurepatternarchive.com before ordering.
Measurement notes
Measurements can vary slightly because of fabric, construction and measuring method. Product-page information takes priority over this general guide.
