Ok, so how do we define "normal"? I don't even want to try. Though right now I am a little perplexed at Jessica's measurements. I had traced her a little pinafore from an Ottobre Design magazine even though I had no real idea of her measurements, or what the books measurements equate to in ready to wear sizing. Today I stole her for 5mins and did some measurements, and let me tell you, she was NOT impressed!
But what I find now is she is a typical size 6 (using a few sources here, Simplicity envelopes, online searching, Ottobre) all except her hip which comes up as a size THREE!!! Yes, size 3 hips.. On the Ottobre patterns she actually fits into the "toddler" category and she's 7yrs old!
She measures;
118cm tall
62cm bust
58cm waist (allowing for the little pot belly she poked out, I may have to redo this one)
60cm hips
26cm back waist
39cm outside arm
9cm shoulder width
76cm outside leg and
53cm inside leg
I don't really know what this means for us. I don't really know how to buy pants that stay up but are long enough, we have this issue a lot. Oh dear.. I need some help! I want to keep sewing, but I don't want to sew things which don't fit. eek!

Hi Shell
Remember me? I swapped with you in the great bookmark exchange a couple of years ago. Check out my blog to see what I have been up to lately. Your little Jess has certainly grown---bet she doesn't play with her cradlepurse doll anymore. Take care

Morning Shell
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I have so busy over the past couple of years that I didn't manage to keep in touch. As you can see I finally figured out how to post pictures :) Getting older so not quite so quick on the uptake!LOL. Glad you got to use the tooth pillow pocket---they really are both cute and useful. Good hearing from you. Take care.
