Dress with Peter Pan collar. This pattern is for PETITS, or people no taller than 5’ 2". The shoulder-to-bust, shoulder-to-waist, shoulder-to-hip and shoulder-to-hem measurements are 1-2cm. shorter than a regular-sized pattern. I’ve listed the size equivalents next to the petit sizes for reference, but remember the difference in lengths.
17 (34), 18 (36), 19 (38), 20 (40), 21 (42)

Does anyone know which number on the patter pieces relate to which pieces in the instructions? They don’t seem to match up and I’m getting well confused!!

Hi, This dress is in petite sizes, so if you’re not petite you’d have to add horizontal spaces. Each size is half the “regular” size, so that 17 is the petite size of 34, 18 is the petite size of 36 etc. This link might help altering: http://www.burdastyle.com/techniques/burda-pattern-alteration-for-petites

I could be wrong, since I haven’t bought/seen the pattern myself. However, i’ve bought a few magazines in the past and this is their “half sizes” for what I gather is the petite line. Which unfortunately isn’t on their online key. Dumb huh?

I’m also confused by the sizing on this. I just printed it out and there doesn’t seem to be a key for which lines correspond to which size. Am I missing something?

I’m really confused on the sizing for this one.
