I've been so busy working that I haven't had much time to post, I'll eventually get around to it. Anyhow, I just thought I'd post some measurements for anyone looking for some measurments to make patterns or just curious.. I will list what I consider to be a good Size 10 measurements. Do keep in mind that every country has different measurments and even within Australia from manufacturer to manufacturer these measurments can vary. These measurments may vary due to the clientele of the company, for example a company manufacturing clothing for young women from age 18-25 sizes: 6-14 will have smaller measurments than a company doing clothing for women aged 25-40 sizes: 6 - 14 and so on. So measurements can make a difference even within the same size range. I'm just going to list what I think is a good size: 10 which can be suited to any one, in my opinion. These measurements are body measurements with no ease added.

Thank you for starting this blog, I love the information you are posting, fantastic and helpul knowledge. Can you reccommend a good, well written patternmaking book as a reference?
Keep up the good work!
Hi Sarah and thanks so much for your comments. I would recommend "PatternMaking for fashion design" by Helen Joseph Armstrong. It's an excellent book
packed with so much information and it's easy to understand. I bought the book back when I was studying fashion design at school and over the years have refered to it on many occasions.
Hello!

This is not an article specifically on clothing measurements that you see in clothing stores but instead important measurements that are used when drafting patterns for the body. This article lists a few notes on body measurements.
