Important fit note

Patterns generated by Nastix Patterns are drafting guides based on your measurements and selected settings.

We strongly recommend making a test version (muslin / toile) and checking the fit before cutting final fabric.

Different fabrics, body proportions, and sewing preferences may require manual adjustments.

Waist to hip

Measure vertically from the waistline down to the fullest hip level.

Length

Measure vertically from the waistline down to the desired hem position.
