Customer Questions and Answers
I bought the Gia pattern and hesitant to cut any fabric yet. I hope you can help. I'm short also, 5' 1" but am propositioned. Where do you take up the length in the torso? This pattern looks like for a very long body but know it needs extra crotch length for sitting etc. I haven't sewn garments in about 30 yrs; feel like I'm starting all over. Thank you for responses.
Irene, I am a size 4 per measurements but since this a jumpsuit I wanted to know how much and where to shorten in the torso area since this isn't a blouse and pant ensemble. Thank you for your help.

We recommend selecting you size or sizes based on your body measurements and considering the finished garment measurements. Usually creating a toile of where you have blended between these sizes is a great place to start to assess the fit of a garment.
Will this pattern ever be made available in a size 18 and up? TIA.
F|S Team
At this time, we don't have plans to extend the size for this pattern
I am usually an 8-10-12 depending on the style with broad shoulders and narrower hips. Any suggestions for adjusting fit without needing to buy all the sizes? This is a problem with many patterns

I can't quite tell for sure but does this pattern have a defined waistline? thanks
F|S Team
There is waistline shaping included in the pattern and it is further defined by the waist tie :)
Hi! I was wondering if this would be available in sizes 18 and up. I am between sizes and sometimes need at 16 and others an 18.

At this time, Gia is only available in the listed sizes.
Hi! I would love to make this but wondered if there was a digital PDF version i could purchase? Thanks, Mel

Hello, Our premium patterns are only available in the hard-copy paper versions at this time.
This is an easy pattern that sewed up beautifully. I raised the neckline about 2 inches for modesty, and the adjustment was very simple to accomplish. I used the turquoise IL019 and it was perfect for this pattern.
The pattern itself was very easy to follow
If you're sewing a jumpsuit for the first time or nervous about it like I was, this pattern really makes it super simple and breezy. I just followed each step in the well-written instruction booklet and didn't really hit a snag anywhere. Overall, I am very happy with the way this jumpsuit turned out. I think it could be dressed up or down depending on the occasion and fabric chosen. This jumpsuit would look amazing in Fabric-Stores' Heavyweight linen as well for the Fall/Winter months, layered with a long sleeve underneath or the long sleeve version.
I'm so glad I bought this! Such a cute jumpsuit and perfect in linen. Instructions were easy to follow. You can dress it up with heels or down with sandals. It's exactly like the picture!
So as I made my personal sewing wish list for fall/winter, I purposely included another linen jumpsuit. The GIA Jumpsuit in GINGER. Since my existing linen jumpsuit has sleeves and a cropped leg, I chose to make the Gia jumpsuit with full length pants and a sleeveless top. My thought was to wear it with an extra layer of leggings, a long sleeve tee, wool socks, jacket, and tall boots during the colder months, then easily transition it to summer when it will shine on its own. Also, when picking new patterns to sew, I try to find gaps in my wardrobe and focus on filling those first.
I love jumpsuits. I mean, who doesn't? They are one and done outfits that give you the comfort of wearing a onesie. With that being said, I am always on the lookout for simple yet classic jumpsuit sewing patterns so when I saw the GIA I knew I wanted to try it! It has a nice button front closure detail with an optional tie belt and can be made as sleeveless, short sleeve with pants (cropped or full length) and shorts making for a very versatile sewing pattern. Made in the Heavyweight IL078 940 FS Premier Finish: a brown, black and cream stripe fabric with lovely texture due to the twill weave and yarn-dyed process. It is truly unique and beautiful!
I have been searching for a good jumpsuit pattern that not only fits my hips, but is somewhat easy to make with a simple design. It's been hard to find! Jumpsuits are not made to fit a short curvy Woman's body – but the GIA Jumpsuit really does check all the boxes. I chose the IL042 889 FS Premier Finish Midweight 100% Linen fabric to make it and was amazed by how luscious and soft this linen is.
I hope you can help. I’m short also, 5’ 1” but am propositioned. Where did you take up the length in the torso?
