Notions

  • Bias tape for the inner waistband (1″ wide when unfolded): use the length of the finished garment waist for your size, plus 4″ / 10cm.
  • Skirt bar and hook: one pair, 3/4″ / 2cm
  • 9″ concealed zip.

Available size ranges

  • Sizes 6-20
  • Sizes 16-30

These size ranges are based on different body proportions and bust cup sizes, so if you fall into sizes 16-20, do compare the body measurements in each size range to find the best match for your measurements. Both size ranges are drafted for the same height of 5’6″ / 167cm.

For this pattern, please choose the pattern size for which the hip measurement is nearest to your hip measurement (but also consider your seated hip measurement against the finished garment measurements).

Finished garment measurements and intended fit

The Agnes Skirt includes roughly 0.5 – 1″ (1.2 – 2.5cm) ease at the waist and 1.5 – 2″ (4 – 5cm) ease at the hip.

The measurements below are the approximate finished garment measurements. For body measurements, see our Size Charts.
