All Bella Loves Patterns sizes are based on UK sizing. Please select your size using your body measurements rather than your ready-to-wear size, as sizing varies between brands and countries.

This sewing pattern was drafted using metric measurements. Imperial measurements are provided for convenience and have been rounded to the nearest ⅛ inch.
Important: The FLOR Dress uses a different size chart from all other Bella Loves Patterns designs. Please refer to the FLOR Dress product page for the complete size chart and sizing information.

Choosing Your Pattern Height

Bella Loves Patterns are available in two height groups:

  • 160 cm (5'3")
  • 170 cm (5'7")

As a general guide, I recommend choosing the 160 cm (5'3") height group if you are under 170 cm (5'7"). The proportions will usually be a better match, resulting in fewer alterations and a better overall fit.

If you are 170 cm (5'7") or above, I recommend choosing the 170 cm (5'7") height group.

If your height falls outside these ranges, most patterns include shorten and lengthen lines, allowing you to adjust the pattern to suit your proportions. I am gradually adding these adjustment lines to all patterns, although they may not yet be available in every design.

How to Measure

Bust

Measure around the fullest part of your bust while wearing a well-fitting bra.

Waist

Measure around your natural waistline, the narrowest part of your torso.

Hips

Measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat.

Choosing Your Size

Choose your size based on your body measurements rather than your ready-to-wear size.

If your measurements fall across multiple sizes, you can grade between sizes for a better fit.

The amount of ease varies between patterns and is provided in the instructions for each design.
