FAQ
Frequently asked questions about GigiZanti PDF sewing patterns. If your question isn't here, get in touch via our Contact page.
What format are GigiZanti sewing patterns in?
All GigiZanti patterns are digital PDF files. Each pattern includes three formats inside one download — A4 (home printer), US Letter (home printer), and A0 (copy shop / projector). Pieces are layered, so you can print only the size you need.
How do I download my pattern after purchase?
You'll receive an instant download link by email immediately after checkout. You can also download from your account on gigizanti.com under "My Orders". The files stay available in your account permanently.
What sizes do GigiZanti patterns come in?
Most GigiZanti patterns are size-inclusive from XS to 5XL. A few earlier patterns range XS–XL, XS–3XL or XS–4XL. Some dress patterns use UK 6–22 sizing (equivalent to US 2–18). The size range is shown on every product page next to the title.
Are the patterns beginner-friendly?
Yes — every GigiZanti pattern includes a step-by-step sew-along video tutorial on YouTube, plus printed photo instructions in the PDF. Beginners are encouraged to start with the bikini bottom, lace bralette or babydoll dress patterns.
Do I need a special printer to print the patterns?
No. The A4 and US Letter PDFs print on any home printer. The A0 file is for copy shops or projector users — it prints the pattern at full size in one go.
Are GigiZanti swimwear patterns reversible?
Many of them are. Look for "Reversible" in the product title — patterns marked reversible are designed to be sewn with two layers of fabric, so you can wear them both ways for two looks in one swimsuit.
What's the refund policy on PDF sewing patterns?
Because patterns are digital products delivered instantly, GigiZanti doesn't offer refunds once the file has been downloaded. If you have a problem with the file or download, please email us within 14 days and we'll fix it. Full policy on the Refunds & Exchanges page.
Can I sell what I make from a GigiZanti pattern?
GigiZanti patterns are licensed for personal use only — not for commercial production. If you'd like a commercial licence to sell finished items made from a GigiZanti pattern, please contact us.
What size range covers plus size?
The size-inclusive XS–5XL range covers from approximately UK 6 / US 2 through to UK 28 / US 24. GigiZanti patterns are graded for real fit across the full range, not just scaled up.
Do GigiZanti patterns work with stretch fabrics?
Swimwear and lingerie patterns are drafted for 4-way stretch fabrics like Lycra, swimsuit fabric, or stretch lace. Each pattern lists the recommended fabric type and stretch percentage on the product page.
