Made to Measure

How to make custom fit Ditto garments

Updated over a week ago

Creating a Measurement Profile

Ditto’s custom Measurement Profiles offer seventeen points of measure for women’s patterns, fifteen points of measure for men’s patterns, and twelve for children. To create a new profile, first download your desired pattern (in the wearer’s closest standard size) to the Pattern Library. From there, select your pattern and scroll down to Size Customization.

Here, you can name the profile and input each specific measurement. Click the “?” symbol next to each point of measure to learn how to collect measurements for Ditto. This may differ from your previous experience.

Check out this video for women’s profiles to see another visual guide.

Make sure to list all measurements. The fields auto-populate with the standard size measurements, so you should record and input every point to ensure the best fit. Select Apply when finished.

Fit and Sizing Details

Managing Measurement Profiles

You can find the size charts for any pattern located in the size section on the specific pattern page. You can also start making/editing measurement profiles directly from patterns in your library, as outlined in the first section.

To manage measurement profiles, navigate to our website. From the account section, select My Account.

Click Measurement Profiles. This page allows you to create, edit, or delete a profile. Select + Create New Profile to get started. Accounts can have an unlimited number of profiles.

Women's Sizing

Women's patterns range from size 0 to 28. However, you can personalize all body measurements for all Ditto patterns. This allows the pattern to extend further to accommodate all sizes and fit any body perfectly.

Bust Adjustments

Adjust the bust using both the bust circumference and the underbust circumference. The difference in those two measurements will define cup size.

Men's Sizing

Men’s patterns range from size 35 to 52. However, using the made to measure feature, users can enter measurements that extend further out than the standard size 52 and the system will adjust the pattern to accommodate those measurements.

Partner Brand Patterns

Partner brand patterns are not made to measure. They offer projectable patterns in sizes and fits their customers love and expect. When purchased, you can access every available size and the brand’s specific size chart. Feel free to mix and match pattern piece sizes to create the best fit.

Pattern Variations

The yellow "customizable" tag indicates available design variations for Ditto brand patterns. For example, you may change a neckline, sleeve type, garment length, etc. Each pattern offers different variations.

Seam Allowance

Ditto brand patterns use a standard 5/8" seam allowance, unless stated otherwise in the sewing instructions (Ditto Craft patterns may differ). You can find the seam allowances for all other brands in the sewing instructions as well.
