Size Chart Tis is a loose fit pattern based on hip size (measured at ullest point). Fit is a personal preerence, but as a general rule I recommend women select the low rise and size down i you want a slimmer fit (they will still be roomy enough to be comortable). For more inormation on how to select your size, please make sure to continue reading on the next page!

Selecting Your Size Te pajama pants pants are a loose fit pattern with relaxed relaxed hips. Sizing is based at ullest hip point. I between sizes, I recommend going UP one size i you’re making this pattern or a man and down one size i you’re making this pattern or a woman. Rise Tis pattern offers a regular and low rise ront waist. Tis is personal preerence but or guidance, I recommend the regular rise or men and the low rise or women. Slimmer Fit I you preer a slimmer fit, go down one size. I recommend this option or women. Blending Sizes Tis pattern is broken into layers or individual sizes. You may select multiple layers or blending sizes. See Selecting Layers or Layers or inormation on choosing individual layers.

Waist
