Pattern that you want to grade to size.

Notes about pattern choice: for your first attempt, it is most useful to choose a pattern that is not more than 5 sizes different than you want to grade to.

 Ex: You have a pattern that has multiple sizes 8-10-12 and you would like to grade to a size 16.  

Choose a pattern with simple lines like a shell, button down blouse, or classic sheath.

Do not start with pants.

Do not choose a complicated designer, vintage, or special pattern that will complicate the process.
