The Alison swimsuit comes in S-M-L only and I can't find a size chart for this kind of sizing on the site or on the pattern. I would really appreciate if we would get one.
I have the same problem with the Pete t-shirt, it comes in S-XL and without size chart.
zora I really want to know about the womens sizes, too!! Though I can help with Pete - they posted the measurements in this How To. I sewed up a Large for my boyfriend who wore a 52 in the Jakob shirt pattern, and generally a Medium in teeshirts here in the UK and it fit great! I was able to get a Large Pete out of 1 yard of bamboo with a bit of clever folding, it was 66 inches wide and tubular, though if your knit isn't tubular you'll definitely need more than 1 yard!
I still would like a women's SML chart! I have a guess as to my size, but pattern sizes are so different than retail sizes. I think it'd be really easy to throw together a chart, or even just a post in the forums.
I know, we are working on updating our size chart at the bottom of every BurdaStyle.com page, but our programmers have to create another space, and they really have their hands full at the moment, so we have to wait!
Anyway, here are the sizes:
S: Bust 31-32, Waist 25-26, Hip 32-34
M: Bust 33-34, Waist 27-28, Hip 35-36
L: Bust 35-37, Waist 29-31, Hip 37-39
I'm going to go post them in the comments section of the Alison pattern right now! Thanks for lighting a fire under me.

And please add the requested amount of fabric in meters too!

Thanks for your help squirrelpoo, I would never have found the men's sizing without you.
