Hi Gals! I have a question about the MJ Knickers pattern sizing.
Are the measurements the same as ready-to-wear clothing, or are the patterns sized the same way commercial patterns are? For example, if I wore a 14 in ready-to-wear, that would translate to something like an 18 or 20 in a Butterick/McCall's/Vogue pattern, since they use a different sizing scale.
Alternatively, can someone tell me the actual waist measurements of the largest size of knickers (either purchased or made from the pattern)???
Thanks so much!

Thanks so much! I just placed my order for the pattern... and, as it turns out, a bunch of other goodies as well! ;)

Here are the waist and hip measurements for the 3 sizes of knickers.
Small waist = 44"; Small hip = 56"/Pattern size 8-10
Medium waist = 47"; Medium hip = 60"/Pattern size 12-16
Large waist = 52"; Large hip = 64"/Pattern size 18-22
I'd suggest measuring waist and hip and decide which size will fit best, taking into consideration how much ease throughout the knickers you want. In looking at other gathered pants, pattern manufacturers (McCalls, Butterick, etc.) allow 10"-12" for ease in waist.

Thanks Diana, I will do so! Thanks much for your input.
I want to be sure the pattern is in my size range generally before I purchase it. ;)

I would make a pair out of Muslin for size. I have made her things and have found that they are a kinda wierd size.
