Sizing + Fit

The August Skirt is fitted in the waist, with a generous full a-line shaped skirt. We recommend referring to both the garment measurements and the body measurements when selecting a size, regardless of what size you wear in ready-to-wear clothing.

Our patterns are drafted for a height of 172cm (5'7"). You may wish to lengthen or shorten the body and sleeve hem depending on your height and personal preference and change the location of the pockets. If you wish to adjust the fit through the bust, we suggest using the bust apex points provided on the patterns.
