The problem is that I compared the sizes for a Burda pattern I have
with one from one of the big 3 and they were totally different. I want
to use the Burda pattern but am confused by the discrepancies.

I'm trying to make some simple Halloween costumes to sell on ebay to

i was using a Burda pattern and its sizes seem to be quite different
than those of the big 3 American pattern companies. It's been a long
time since I had a young child so I was wondering if any of you with
small girls or boys would mind giving me their chest, waist and hip
measurements along with their height. A measurement from waist to
floor would help too. And let me know their age and gender. I think
I am going to make stuff for about ages 1-11. If I get enough
responses, I can figure out averages.
Thanking you all in advance,

Sylvia,
Have you considered going to the web sites of the major pattern
companies and checking their measurements? That would give you a
better way to let your buyers know about sizes since they are already
accustomed to those. Or you could check on the sites for some
clothing companies, like L. L. Bean; they usually have charts showing
measurements for sizing.
