Why are vintage patterns so small?! A history of pattern sizing (Why the size numbers are a lie)

Why are vintage patterns so small, you may be asking yourself. In today's video, I am going through the history of sewing pattern sizing to show you why vintage pattern sizes are so small, why vintage pattern sizes change so frequently and how the regulation of patterns and clothing came to be. I delve into the 1941 regulation of the pattern and clothing industry and address the changing size of the population in the 1958, 1967 and 1971 regulations. I also tell you about how pattern companies changed with the clothing sizes. As well as addressing the elephant in the room, why haven't pattern sizes changed in 50 years. So grab your coffee, get comfy and be prepared to look at some gorgeous vintage pattern catalogs and vintage sewing patterns as we step back in time together.
