I love vintage sewing patterns. I know you do, too. People who work with old sewing patterns know that there have been several sizing chart changes, for misses sizes, throughout the years,… so choosing the right size of pattern can be tricky. I’ve compiled these sizing charts to help you compare today’s sizes with sizing charts of the past. Although different companies had different sizing charts, years ago, I tried to make this as accurate as possible. I hope you find this guide useful in deciding what size of vintage pattern to choose.
