What lines on a pattern indicate different sizes in a multi-size pattern?

• A. Sizing Lines
• B. Pattern Envelope
• C. Notching
• D. Iron

Answer: (A)

In a multi-size pattern, lines intended to show different sizes are the sizing lines. These lines run through the same pattern piece but use distinct styles (such as solid, dashed, or dotted) or colors to represent each size. You choose the line that matches your size and use that line to trace, cut, or align the fabric when assembling the garment. The idea is to keep all sizes on one pattern piece while making it clear which line to follow for a given size. Other pattern features aren’t about size: notching marks help you align pieces, the pattern envelope is just packaging and information, and using an iron is a sewing tool unrelated to indicating size. If you’re unsure, the pattern’s legend or key will tell you which line style corresponds to which size.
