Sewgrand Patterns are developed for the fuller figure, sized 12 to 26
(sewing pattern sizes, which probably do not match ready-to-wear sizes).
See FAQ for more information on size comparisons. See Size and Fit Information for more information on our sizing. In response to numerous request, we will be starting to develop designs for women’s sizes larger than 26. The research and development is an exacting process and the earliest we can hope to have the new larger designs is January 2000.
Are you looking for fit?
We draft and proportion our patterns for the fuller figure, in recognition that 47% of American women are size 14 or larger. We do not draft in skinny sizes and develop the larger ones from that! The patterns are fitted on a live fit model, not a dress form, since a dress form can’t speak to tell us where something doesn’t fit properly. We take several careful steps to make sure the pattern fits this figure well. See What Do I Get When I Buy a Sewgrand Pattern? for more information.
Are you looking for fashion?
We design according to popular fabrics, with inspiration from current design and color trends.
About the styles:
Our styles are developed with busy lifestyles in mind, providing design options for corporate casual dressing, grocery shopping, casual dining out on the town and casual evenings at home with family and friends. In response to customer requests for dresses, special fabrics and wearable art designs, we developed our 1999 dress collection, TRUE EMOTIONS. See New styles 502, 503, 504 and 505 for more information.
