Best Dressed Bears sewing patterns are designed to fit 15-18 inch teddy bears such as Build a Bear and Bear Factory teddy bears.*
Please remember that all teddy bears are stuffed differently, and measurements can vary widely. Finished garment sizes are included on the pattern listing and inside the pattern itself. If you are using fabric which is special to you e.g. a deceased relative's clothing, we recommend that you make a draft garment first to familiarise yourself with the process and check the finished garment size on your chosen bear.
Best Dressed Bears sewing patterns can also be printed at a reduced scale for smaller teddy bears and many of our customers do this. e.g. for a 12-inch bear, print at 70% scale. Please check the sizing against your bear before making the garment.
