In Simplicity patterns, the “W” in women’s sizing stands for Women’s (Plus) sizing. Size range BB (20W–22W–24W–26W–28W), the “W” sizes are drafted differently from standard Misses sizes. They’re designed to fit fuller proportions through the bust, waist, hips, upper arms, and torso, with shaping that reflects plus‑size body geometry rather than simply scaling up Misses sizes.

All patterns in the Simplicity range include a list of materials required to complete your design, along with size measurements, illustrated diagrams and helpful tips to guide you along.
