A Note About Fit
The Washi Dress comfortably accommodates most average-busted women in the size ranges indicated. A Fit Guide is provided to assess fit and assist with basic pattern adjustments. Those with fuller/less full busts may need to adjust the pattern accordingly; please see the** “Resources” section at the bottom of this page ** for links to Full Bust Adjustment and Small Bust Adjustment tutorials. The six sizes included in this pattern are also nested in a way that allows for easy grading-up and grading-down, so those with basic experience grading can create sizes outside the range provided.
NOTE: The Fit Guide is included in the digital download version of the pattern. If you have purchased the printed pattern, please download your free Washi Fit Guide here (pdf).
