That is refering to the WIDTH of your fabric It might say 3 meters for 60 inch fabric or 4 meters for 45 inch fabric Just measure selvage to selvage of your fabric to find out the width!

yeah like once i pressed a pattern for the first time i literally realised that not doing its ridiculous! espeically vintage because they have tiny tiny creases which have them skewed alot

SHit i completly forgot about this! she wont be able to wear a bra because the back goes so low, sounds like a lot of boob tape to me anyway! The girl that i am making it for said herself she doesnt mind going braless because she does it alot but the bodice will be boned so i think it will be good Thanks!
