Pattern lines and markings are bold and easy to read, and ⅝ in (1.5 cm) seam allowances and hems are included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e📏 Sizing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e11 sizes, A–K\u003c\/strong\u003e, all included in the envelope\u003cbr\u003eBust: 34–48 in (86.5–122 cm)\u003cbr\u003eWaist: 33–47 in (84–119.5 cm)\u003cbr\u003eHips: 40–54 in (101.5–137 cm)\u003cbr\u003eProportioned for a height of 5'4\" (163 cm).
