PLEIADES 1

FINISHED GARMENT MEASUREMENTS

You can find your French Poetry size based on your measurements or ready-to-wear size (US, EU, UK, AU, international) using the Size guide. Please find below the finished measurements for Pléiades 1.

For this dress sewing pattern, the most important measurement is your bust measurement: choose the size closest to this measurement. If your waist and / or hips are one size bigger or smaller, you will not need to adjust.
