Made-to-measure skirt pattern
To get a made-to-measure skirt pattern, photograph the skirt that inspires you and enter your waist and hip measurements: the studio reconstructs its line — A-line, flared or pencil — and drafts a pattern to your measurements, ready to print with its sewing instructions.
Made to measure, piece by piece
Why a skirt pattern to your measurements changes everything
The skirt is often the first piece people sew made to measure, because everything comes down to two key measurements: waist and hip. That's exactly where commercial patterns disappoint, based on a standard waist-to-hip difference that rarely matches yours. We start from your real numbers so the skirt hangs straight, without gaping at the waist or pulling across the hips.
The studio drafts a gently flared A-line skirt just as well as a pencil skirt fitted from waist to hip or a full circle skirt. Pleated skirts and wrap skirts aren't in the catalogue yet: we'd rather say so than offer a rough approximation. The length can be adjusted in the studio.
The pattern prints at 1:1 scale, seam allowances included, with construction markings and grainline. Its instructions guide you from attaching the waistband to finishing the hem. In the studio, you can adjust the length free of charge and, depending on the design drafted, other points too.

Questions we're often asked
Questions about the pattern for skirt
Can I get a skirt pattern from a photo?
Yes. The shape (A-line, flared, pencil), the waist height and the length can be read from a sharp front-view photo: the studio reconstructs the line and drafts the pattern to your measurements.
What measurements do I need for a made-to-measure skirt?
Two measurements do most of the work: waist and hip, along with your waist-to-hip measurement and the length you want. It's precisely the real waist-to-hip difference that commercial patterns lack.
Should I make a toile?
Yes, a toile is recommended: cut it from an inexpensive fabric with a similar body to your good fabric. Seam allowances included, grainline and markings shown, printed at home at 1:1 scale; the instructions guide you from attaching the waistband to the hem.
And if I'm not happy with how it hangs?
In the studio, you can adjust the length free of charge and, depending on the design drafted, other points too.
