   The minimal construction instruction made this a frustrations top to sew. Since the I visible zipper was to be sewn in upside down, it would have been extremely helpful to have an instructional video rather than refer us to you tube., where the zippers are all shown zipping from waist to neckline

   The Robin top was a dream to cut and stitch. The darts provide great shaping. The fit is much closer than what I’m used to, but I think it will make a great top paired with the skirt of the Paris dress, I like that it is more formal and so will make a great garment to wear for a less casual event. I did put in the zipper and am glad that I didn’t take a chance: I would not have been able to pull it on without it. Our local shop was out of the correct size invisible zipper so I used a regular one. No problem.

   This is a lovely top. The shaping formed by the darts, front and back, gives the top a look I love. Some reviewers said they didn’t need to add the invisible zipper, but I did need it. It’s not difficult to insert but there are tutorials on YouTube to show how it’s done if you are unsure. I have made two tops, one in a cotton lawn, the other in linen. Both will get good wear.

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.
