Fitting Your 18th Century Garments 
Garments in the 18th century fit much closer to the body than the clothing we wear today.  Therefore, it is very important that you purchase the correct pattern size.  Please take you measurements over modern undergarments and compare to the charts listed above.  Please purchase to your largest personal measurement as it is generally easier to make a garment smaller than larger.
