   An easy make. The shorter length is definitely for the beach or over bathers, too short to be worn as a dress. I put elastic in the casing instead of the draw string which worked really well too.

   Love this pattern. Easy to slip on: V neck is not “too” low and the sleeves are flattering.
   I made the full length in a very light border denim, and had the border across the front bodice as well as round the hem.
   Just one comment – the short version really is just a top and for me would need to be significantly longer to be a short dress – the illustration is a bit misleading in my opinion.
   Already have made a top and a full length so next project is to lengthen the skirt of the short version to produce a beach cover up.
   Really, a great pattern and very forgiving with the drawstring waistline if the diet has gone out the window on holiday.

   I love this pattern! Easy to use and looks great.
   My only suggestion would be to have it available as AO size as I found it difficult to find anywhere to print on 36″ paper.

   This is a great pattern, and I LOVE my coverup! Easy to customize, and so easy to slip over your head when you are wet. Flattering deep V neck. Will make again and again!

   This is super easy to make and really lovely as a cover-up for the garden, or, by the pool. I made one for a friend who‘s going on a cruise and made it extra special by choosing a contrast colour for the cord and the facing, which I attached to the outside for extra interest.

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.
