HOW DOES PATTERNS ON CD WORK?
LEKALA patterns have been developed using unique CAD technology from LEKO.
Custom fitted means that all patterns are custom tailored to give you an exact fit.
Simply input 4 measurements and the software will construct the pattern according to
your size for the perfect fit! Then print the pattern on your desktop and you're ready
to begin sewing!
 HOW TO TAKE MEASUREMENTS
You will need these four measurements for your patterns:
1. HEIGHT: Stand straight (not too straight, just as usual) with your back,
your head and your heels against the wall. Ask a Measurer to mark a spot at the
wall using a ruler that goes on top of your head perpendicular to the wall. Measure
the vertical distance from the floor to the mark.
2. BUST: Take this measurement over the fullest part of the bust and across
the widest part of the back. The measuring tape should go horizontally all around
your body.
3. WAIST: To locate your waistline, tie a narrow string around the waist and
let it settle into the natural waistline as you bend to the left and to the right.
Take the measurement along the stringline.
4. HIPS: Take the measurement around the fullest part, which is usually 7" to
9" below the waist.
NOTE: Measurments should be rounded to nearest whole inch.
