Pattern Size Grading Calculator

Grading is the art of moving a pattern from one size to another without changing its proportions. Small moves can be made on the seams; large ones need the pattern re-drafted, because the balance points no longer line up. This calculator shows how much each key measurement has to change and warns when the change is too big to grade.

Grading more than two sizes up or down changes the shape enough that a re-draft is usually faster and more accurate than grading.
