Don’t Have Grading Specs? No Problem.
Tell us how much you want your design to grow per size in areas like chest width, waist width, hip width, sleeve length, and overall length. For example, chest width is measured from one side of the garment to the other at the widest part, waist width at the natural waistline, and hip width across the fullest part of the hips. Sleeve length is measured from the shoulder seam to the end of the sleeve, and overall length from the highest point on the shoulder to the hem. Our pattern graders will break down all your measurements to resize your design accurately. Here’s an example:
| Sizes | S | M (Base Size) | L | XL |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chest Width Grade | Minus 1" | 0 Grade | Plus 1" | Plus 2" |
| Waist Width Grade | Minus 1" | 0 Grade | Plus 1" | Plus 2" |
| Hip Width Grade | Minus 1" | 0 Grade | Plus 1" | Plus 2" |
