What I  found confusing in the past was that the
measurements listed on the  back would suggest that I needed the
pattern to be about two sizes  bigger than my normal dress size, and
then I'd get the pattern cut  and it would turn out to be about two
sizes too  big.


Yeah. I'd been sewing for several years when I took Home Ec. My teacher measured me and measured the pattern and said that I wore a 14. I told her that, no, I wore a 10. But she was the teacher, and (of course) she prevailed. I made the dress. We could both fit in it .....

*sigh*
