bodycon vs fitted 2 posts, 2 writers, 37 readers, started 45 months ago

Hi

I am looking to sew a fitted blouse with no waist darts. When using the online sewing pattern designer should I select Bodycon in step one and then Blouse in step two since selecting Bodycon again only includes options with waist darts?
Also what is the size difference between bodycon and fitted?

Finally, in terms of sizing, are there instructions on how to take correct measurements? i.e. what is the difference between bust and underbust?

Thanks

Hello and thank you for your question. Bodycon fitting option on step one means minimal ease. This can be used for knit fabrics only. I would suggest Fitted on the first step, and then Blouse on the next step.

There's a full size guide here - https://www.sewist.com/pages/sizeguide

Bust is sz16, underbust is sz17, waist - sz18, and for hips and full hips we have visuals on the order page.
