   I wanted to love this top but , even taking in the sides it makes me feel like an old lady wearing it. The neck band was much narrower than the illustration seemed to indicate and I had difficulty with the spacing. I would love to attach a photo but your site doesn’t allow a direct upload. Not willing to post it on social media first.

   I really, really like this pattern. I used a thin rayon viscose fabric. Just love the drape and feel of the fabric. Now that I have learned to make the narrow shoulder adjustment along with the full bust adjustment for tops, the fit is really nice. One thing that I changed when cutting out the pattern pieces, I cut the front main panel in half down the center and cut on the fold. I found that easier. I also left out the back slit with button. I am already planning my next one!!!

   Bought this pattern as a PDF as I live in the UK. It was so easy to download and print out. Instructions are great and true to size.
   I will be buying more PDF patterns soon.

   (It’s a shame we have no one in the UK that sell patterns and material as you do.)

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.
