I ordered the wrong pattern, what do I do?

Since your purchase is a digital product, it is “used” after download or opening, and all purchases made on www.bgdressmakingpatterns.com are non-refundable and exchangeable. Kindly read more about it on our Refund Policy.

Which size should I choose?

For most of our patterns, we suggest going for your standard size or choosing the recommended size as instructed in the pattern purchased. We created a Size Guide for you to help with your sizing.

How do I print and assemble the pattern?

I recommend printing the pattern using Adobe Acrobat Reader, but to print your pattern correctly on your computer without a program like Adobe Acrobat Reader, make sure that your settings are set to “Scale: 100%” or ACTUAL SIZE and that you aren’t printing double-sided. Print the first page first, and check that the control squares are exactly 2″*2″ and 3″x3″ respectively. Then print out the rest of the pattern.

You will see a faint border around the pattern guiding you where to cut off the margins. There are also circles in the corners as well as the sides helping you match the pages together.

I do not have a printer, can I still buy the pattern?

Of course! Most of our patterns come with two printing formats A4 and US Letter format for home printing and A0 format to print at a copy shop.

Do you offer patterns in other languages?

At this moment all of our patterns are in English only, but we make sure to translate every sew-along video tutorial in over 15 different languages which can help non-English speakers.

Do your patterns include seam allowance?

Yes! All our patterns include a 1/2 inch seam allowance unless stated otherwise in the specific pattern purchased.

Do you offer custom-made sewing patterns?

We occasionally offer custom-made patterns. Kindly contact us at bgdressmakingpatterns@gmail.com to find out if we are available for that at the moment.
