General Care Tips
1. Read the label:
- Before washing your clothes, always read the care instructions on the label carefully. The label will indicate the appropriate water temperature, washing method, ironing temperature and other information.
2. Wash by category:
- Wash clothes by color and fabric, and avoid mixing dark and light colors to prevent staining.
3. Use the right amount of detergent:
- Use the right amount of detergent. Too much detergent may damage the fibers of the clothes. It is recommended to use a mild detergent to protect the texture and color of the clothes.
4. Avoid high temperatures:
- High water and high temperature drying may shrink or deform the clothes. It is recommended to wash with cold or warm water and choose low temperature drying.

HOW DO I KNOW WHICH WOMENS SIZE I AM?
Choosing your pattern size is the most important step and we will help you determine this with these easy to follow steps.
1. When taking your measurements ensure that you take them against your skin and not over clothing. One can wear a comfortable bra and knickers whilst measuring, as this will provide you with the most accurate measurements.
2. Tape measure has to sit firmly around the points you are measuring. But be careful not to pull it too tight,as this will give you the incorrect size.
3. When measuring circumferences (B, C, D, E) it is important to note that the tape measure must remain parallel to the floor. It is sometimes best to take the measurements in front of a mirror; this will help you see the angle of the tape measure.
4. You will only require the basic body measurements to determine your pattern size which is indicated on our mannequin below:
A. Shoulder Breadth
Place the tape at the edge of the shoulder. Measure along the top of the shoulder blade/across the highest point of the shoulders to the other edge, following the natural slope and allow an extra finger for ease of any movement.
B. Upper Arm Girth
This point is taken as a circumference at your widest point of your upper arm.
C. Bust
This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the fullest part of your chest.
D. Waist
This point is taken as a circumference and taken at the smallest part of your waist.
E. Hip
This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the widest part of your hips.
