Today's Fit by Sandra Betzina

These patterns are sized differently; it is NOT a large-size programme but it is the "proportions" that make this collection different from standard patterns. Today's Fit reflects the way body shapes have changed in recent years - whether that body is small, large or somewhere in between.
Sizes range from a bust of 81 cm to 140 cm (32" to 55"). The patterns are cut smaller in the upper front chest, broader in the back, larger across the tummy and waist, and fuller in the arm. The bust point is lower and cup sizes range from B to D.

To force people to chose their pattern size by their measurements and not their dress size, patterns are sized alphabetically (A to J) and not numerically. To determine your Today's Fit size, take your bust, waist and hip measurements and compare them to the chart below:

Size cm A B C D E
Bust 81 86.5 91.5 96.5 103
Waist 67 72 77.5 82.5 89
Hip 87.5 92.5 98 103 108

Hip 116 122 130 137 145
Bk.Wst. Lgth 43 44 44 44 44

Today's Fit patterns have 3 or 4 sizes on one tissue,
eg (A B C) (D E F) (G H I J) - so you can cut one size at the bust, another at the waist, and another at the hip.
