   Great pattern with easy to follow instructions. The pleats across the tummy are very flattering, but I’m going to have to add a lengthening strip of fabric as it’s just too short – nobody needs to see my stomach! I made it in a Liberty tana lawn which worked really well.

   Already planning a second one but will lengthen before I cut this time.

   I absolutely love StyleArc patterns, which are impeccably drafted, and this one has some great features — but with a few caveats. I’m a long-waisted size 14 (US 12), so added an inch at the waist for my first muslin. It is still too short in front; part of the problem is the dropped broad sleeve design, which means that any slight raising of the arms pulls the entire blouse upwards across the belly unattractively.

   I do love the detailing of the folds in front and tailored hips, which are going to be flattering when I get the proportions right. Am going to try the pattern again with a still longer waist and higher sleeve scye!

How Do I Know What Size I Am?

Choosing your pattern size is the most important step and we will help you determine this with these easy to follow steps.

1. When taking your measurements ensure that you take them against your skin and not over clothing. One can wear a comfortable bra and knickers whilst measuring, as this will provide you with the most accurate measurements.
2. Tape measure has to sit firmly around the points you are measuring. But be careful not to pull it too tight, as this will give you the incorrect size.
3. When measuring circumferences (B, C, D, E) it is important to note that the tape measure must remain parallel to the floor. It is sometimes best to take the measurements in front of a mirror; this will help you see the angle of the tape measure.
4. You will only require the basic body measurements to determine your pattern size which is indicated on our mannequin below:

A. Shoulder Breadth

Place the tape at the edge of the shoulder. Measure along the top of the shoulder blade/across the highest point of the shoulders to the other edge, following the natural slope and allow an extra finger for ease of any movement.

B. Upper Arm Girth

This point is taken as a circumference at your widest point of your upper arm.

C. Bust

This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the fullest part of your chest.

D. Waist

This point is taken as a circumference and taken at the smallest part of your waist.

E. Hip

This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the widest part of your hips.
