womens leggings size

[chebonne]

I'm making a ladies outfit for a trading post and was wondering what was a general size to make. I'm a little on the heavy side (too much fry bread) so making my size will be too big, So could you respond with your sizes (calves, ankle, length) and I'll take an average.

I know everyone is different and there are some very petite dancers out there, but I'd still like to know.

If you are wanting like a small-medium-large size you can use a standard pattern for women's PJ's.

wouldn't that make them kinda loose and shapeless?

Thanks All!!!

Looks like I'm gonna make 13 1/2 at the top and 9 1/2 at the bottom and 14" tall. I'm gonna cut an arc at the back for the heel and in the front for the arch. I read on another thread about the same questions, but there was one lady that said to attach a piece of elastic to the back of the leggins, sewing down both ends to make a loop then slip your foot and leg through the elastic. it keeps the leggin in place and doesn't bind too tight.
