So far I’ve just made the top with the straight sleeves that cuff. I made my usual SA size and the fit was ‘spot on’ . I found the V was just the right depth. The top is quite cropped ( as you can see on the model) so I decided to cut the top in the dress length. I chose a bow closing, and added an extra bow to accommodate the length. I kept the slight curve in the front in the dress shape . I like it. I made the loops too, thinking when bows look really dated I’ll switch to the loop closing. Next time I’d cut the sleeve with another .05cm of width so I could French seam the side seams as they look much better when they are rolled up.

I absolutely love this pattern and will be making more of the styles. The only thing I don’t really like is the placement of the darts. They seem like they are in a really akward high position.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
