Sizing guide

To satisfy as many people as possible, Étoffe Malicieuse provides you with patterns in a wide range of sizes !

  • Women : from 32 to 50 (and even sometimes up to 64),
  • Men : from 3XS to 4XL,
  • Children : from 2 to 10 years old (or 12 years old for some patterns).

Many sizes are available

Sewing lines are drawn colorful making them easier to trace.
If you don’t want to spend too much money buying ink, you can also print the patterns in grayscale (using black ink only).
The different sewing line shapes will make them easily distinguishable somehow.

If you only want to print one or two sewing lines, selecting the right layers will make it easy!

Sizes for women (bras)

LesÉtoffe Malicieuse’s patterns were designed to adapt YOUR shapes.

That’s why the way to get your body measurements might differ a bit from what you’re used to. I chose this method because it makes it possible to sew cups of different depths (many of us have unequal breast size!).

Step 1 : identify the size of the bra (80, 85, 90, 95, 100…)

  • Measure your waist size.
  • Set the measurement tape horizontally (parallel to the ground) around your chest,
  • right under your breast.

It should neither be loose nor tense.

Step 2 : identify the cup depth (bonnet B ou C, D, E, F…)

  • Measure the depth of each one of your breasts.
  • Set the edge of the measurement tape right below your breast (lift it a bit if needed).

Unroll it up around your breast and read the value in the middle of your nipple. The measurement tape should be straight, parallel to your body.
