All 3 womenswear pant blocks are created for woven (non-stretch) fabrics. The block you use will depend on the type of pant you want to make.

Fashion studios & pattern makers usually have all 3 blocks

Size guide

All 3 blocks are fitted between the waist and hip with 2 cm (3/4") of built-in ease to allow comfort and movement.

FIND YOUR SIZE (see image 5)

Select mannequin (a.k.a dress form) or fit model (i.e. person) you will fit your design on.
Measure waist (A) and hip (B). Hip is 20 cm below waist.
Find size in the Body Measurement Chart (image 5 on the left) with the measurements closest to your waist and hip measurements. If you are in between sizes, go up a size.

EASE

The block includes 2 cm (3/4") of ease. If you want more ease (or you're in between sizes), go up a size.

MEASURING TIPS

Make sure measuring tape is parallel to the floor.
Take measurements against the skin (i.e. not over clothes).
Measuring tape should sit firmly, but not too tight.
Measure the waist at the narrowest part of the waist.
