Burda Style For people who sew
So in american patterns I usually go for size 14 and if I am reading the Burda size chart correctly I should be sewing size 23 for myself. yet I cannot find any patterns that are size 23, I see patterns at 34 and 39 etc. Am I reading my own size wrong or are my selections just for the plus sizes. I am trying to make a long pleated skirt. Preferably from the free selection. thank you very much in advance for all of your help, happy sewings, xxTBT

Hey xxTBT! You are reading the Petite size chart. Scroll down to the “Regular” size chart. You probably need around a size 44-48 on BurdaStyle. :) You can filter by size if you need to within the Pattern Store. :)
