Fit and Fabric: This pattern has been created using Standard UK Measurements. The sizing might seem different to what you usually buy in stores. Therefore, use the size the chart says you are to fit the chest, and if required, lengthen or shorten the pattern as needed. The finished garment will fit a child’s neck, shoulders and arms with the garment landing at mid-bum. There is a boxy fit through the chest with lots of room for growth. We suggest sizing down if you’re between sizes. Measurement Chart: Additional Notions Required: Co-ordinating sewing thread.
