How to Combine Sewing Pattern Sizes

When you look at the measurements of a sewing pattern, do your bust, waist or hips measurements fall across different sizes? You’re not alone.

WOW! Thank you so much! I've always had wider hips and I couldn't figure out how to combine both sizes. Learning as I go. Thank you!

Thank you for the lovely video! Quick question, what if the size difference is more than one size? Across how many sizes is it safe to do this? (For example, a 3 to a 5 or a 3 to a 6)

Thanks, I never knew what to do about darts before!

If you had a waist dart how would you adjust that say from a 16 bust to a 18 waist on my pattern there are two darts one for smaller one for larger both are same width at the waist but different bust point do I use the smaller one as it is the same at waist as the larger one and bust point meet or do I go in between the two then the waist part may be bigger making waist smaller
