Be sure you check the measurements on the envelope. Pattern sizes usually run a little bigger than clothes sizes. I'm not sure why.
----------------------------
And I've found that lots of pattern makers have pretty strong ideas of what the perfect size should be, which may not be close to anyone not a starved model who is 120 pounds and 6 feet 2 inches tall.
Personally, I find Burda to fit me better. It's a German pattern company, and Germans are not really famous for being fragile and delicate little people!!
