From a vogue 8280 pattern that I initially made far FAR too big as I payed attention to the sizing chart on the packet, big mistake! And then took me forever to get it to fit right… Emerald green silk with a silver silk belt

Hi, I have been thinking to order this pattern. What whas your size according to sizing chart and what was the right one? I think how much smaller I should choose.

I think do the size that you are in the shops and it’s about right, so I’m roughly a 10 in the pattern even if they say a 10 = a 22" waist. I can’t remember exactly though ‘cause I’ve not got the pattern with me!

Well my probles is that I am European and I wear european size 36 and don’t know which one it is in USA. So I viewed the sizing chart and the measurements, but if you think it is too large… But do you recommend doing maybe one size smaller than the sizing chart suggests?

Heyy I think that’d be about a size 8 but I’m sorry I don’t have the pattern with me so I can’t check!!

Yeah I really like the sleeves, they’re pleated one way and ruffled the other and they’re only half round sleeves, like cap sleeves, with a little slit in the side! Complicated but worth it! Suprisingly the shoes are NewLook from a few seasons ago when girl brogues were hot, but I love them! Shoes make an outfit!
