BellaOnline Forums Hobbies and Crafts Sewing Pattern size chart for children

I need to find out what size pattern my granddaughter wears. She lives out of state, and all I have is her height and weight to go by. I would like a source for looking up her size as she grows. Does someone know where I can find a chart? I would like it to be a surprise Christmas dress. Thank-you.

Hi there,

Follow this link to view a detailed measurement chart for children:

Perhaps the childs mother could take the measurements for you according to the chart and send them to you.

You can also go directly to Simplicity Patterns and view a childs dress pattern for example:

The pattern envelope contains measurements for the different sizes.

Hope this helps,

That is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so very much!

You are very helpful. I didn't expect an answer so fast. You certainly saved me a lot of time, especially since I had spent a couple days looking before asking you.
