I have been looking for "school girl" skirt for my teenage girls for
ever. I decieded to get a pattern and try to make it myself. I bought
simplicity pattern #7377 for a line skirt above the knee. The problem
that I am having is that the size I need is 20 and that size is on the
envelope, but when I went to cut out the pattern pieces, the largest
size line was 14. What should I do? HELP!

Dear Hlandis,

First, ready-to-wear (RTW) sizes and commercial patterns have no
relation to each other. Patterns come in group sizes. You must have
picked up the 10-12-14 size instead of the 16-18-20. You'll need to
get another pattern. And measure your daughters before you purchase
another pattern. You must go by their measurements, not by the size on
the envelope. Going from the size 14 to a size 20 is too much to
alter, especially for a beginner, and I think you'll find that your
children wear a different size than RTW. Good luck. Come back if you
have more questions.

Teri

Somebody's been fiddling with the envelope contents. I've had it
happen. You'll need to go back to the store. Don't bother trying to
stuff it all back in the envelope. I hope the store isn't an extended
road trip for you!
