Currently (as of Nov 2023) the majority of patterns are available in 0-20 designed for a 5’6” B cup and 14-32 designed for a 5’6” D cup. The size 0 is drafted for a 31” B cup bust, 24” waist and 33” hip. The size 32 is drafted for a 60” D cup bust, 53” waist and 63” hip.
Going forward they moving to a new sizing structure they call Alpha Sizing of XXS-4X which will cover the same size range. It looks like it may only be used for looser, less structured garments. Time will tell.
