Body Measurements:
Measure yourself and compare your actual measurements with the body measurement table in the picture section. If your measurements fall between two sizes, choose the larger size.
Garment Measurements:
Lay a similar garment flat on a table and measure from side to side to get half of the total garment width. Note that woven garments are much wider than the body, so their measurements will not be the same as your body measurements.

Each pattern is suitable for US Letter and DIN A4. Set the printer to 100% scale. Never use 'fit,' 'shrink,' or anything other than 100%.
Each page has a frame measuring 10½ x 7¾ inches or 26.7 x 19.7 cm. Ensure each page has this frame printed with exactly these dimensions. If the black border line is missing on any of the four edges, correct the printer settings. Do not proceed with sewing until the frames are correct.
If you don’t like taping pages, you will find an additional A0 PDF for copy shops. Do not confuse the A0 PDF with the home printer PDF. The file names indicate whether they are for home printers or for A0 copy shops, and the page dimensions are written in the upper left corner of the page.

Fabric Recommendations:
Preferably light to medium weight fabric (80-200 GSM or 2½-7 oz/sqy). Many cotton qualities are slightly stretchable on weft (horizontally). Classic Oxford, Chambray, and Poplin or simple plain weave fabrics are easy to work with.
It is recommendable to start with a muslin model first in order to check and adjust the fit. Always prewash and iron your fabric. Calculate 5% shrinkage for cotton fabrics.
PLAIN FABRIC CONSUMPTION for 150 cm or 59 "
For Size XS: 150 cm (59 inches)
For Size 2XL: 240 cm (95 inches)
Checkered or printed fabric might need some
