I saw this post after I commented on the one before it. =_=;<br /><br />For your future reference, Drape Drape Sizing is:<br /><br />S - Bust 78 CM, Waist 58 CM, Hip 84 CM<br />M - Bust 82 CM, Waist 62 CM, Hip 88 CM<br />L - Bust 86 CM, Waist 66 CM, Hip 92 CM<br />XL - Bust 90 CM, Waist 70 CM, Hip 96 CM<br /><br /><br />And most Japanese pattern books do NO include seam allowance. If they do, it's usually 1cm by default.<br /><br />I hope that helps. :)christinaooihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01651647627614180006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-74409301982835902162010-09-03T08:34:31.776-04:002010-09-03T08:34:31.776-04:00As you know from my current cowl neck obsession, I...As you know from my current cowl neck obsession, I'm heading full speed to a drape drape obsession this fall.

I have knitted from Japanese patterns though and I know that if you can figure out a few basic things, the diagrams are good enough to work from without knowing the language. I also know there are resources on the web for sewing from Japanese patterns, but I don't have a list of them as I keep putting that off.Mardelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04850551308931710502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-91511861142263730672010-07-23T22:25:37.757-04:002010-07-23T22:25:37.757-04:00You are so determined that I can't believe you...You are so determined that I can't believe you haven't taken a class on the Japanese language by now so that you can fluently read the book! I am trying to figure out the garment w/ the zipper... wish I could see a picture. Even if it's a knit, sometimes a zipper is necessary in order to get in and out of a piece. How tight is it supposed to be?<br />I can't wait to see some of your stuff!!stacyhttp://taffetadarlings.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-28210657964073442662010-07-23T22:02:42.196-04:002010-07-23T22:02:42.196-04:00Sally: I've had occasion to consider your comm...Sally: I've had occasion to consider your comment today and I think it's telling. I'm sure you would be just like this!<br /><br />Tiffany: Thanks for your sizing feedback. Having done a bit more research, I totally agree.<br /><br />Victoria: I will lend it to you after I've done a little bit of playing around. Not sure how much good the book will do :-)<br /><br />Sox: Thanks so much for your comment. I am def a Japanese large.

While I am a medium sized woman here in Canada, in Japan I was an Amazon of gigantic proportions. When you are the same height or taller than most of the men, you tend to stand out in a crowd. Especially when you are endowed with strong Nordic features.Soxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264864517875161020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-65614445412171013362010-07-22T00:29:53.801-04:002010-07-22T00:29:53.801-04:00What I know is that I am so impressed by your pass...What I know is that I am so impressed by your passion.
