Knowing your pattern size

Hello!

One of the problems I encountered when I tried sewing my first blouse was choosing the correct pattern size. After almost done with my first disaster (I meant blouse) I realized that the armholes and the chest section was too big for me.

I thought the way to pick the pattern size was for your size overall and I always picked the one that matched my hips size. I know it sounds silly picking a size for a blouse based on the hips size but to be honest at that moment was not obvious for me.

Do you really know your pattern size?

Please see this awesome free guide provided by Simplicity, I assure you it will be very helpful.
