   I made this dress for a women’s luncheon. Thought I never make a dress without doing a muslin first, this dress fit perfectly. I added pockets and a lining. I plan on making the dress again in a lighter weight fabric than the once I made previously, I will not add buttonholes this time. This dress has now become a part of my TNT patterns.

   I made this dress in a light grey wool blend suiting and it is perfect for winter. Love the neckline although I didn’t bother with buttonholes on the cuffs, just the buttons as I didn’t need the cuffs to open

   I just received my pattern a few days ago. (I am not surprised given the state of our world at the moment.) I would be glad to review the pattern at a later date.
   Thank you.

   I have left a rating for the pattern so far. It looks just like what I want.

   Really like this design. Easy to make up although the second one I made I used a plain cuff instead of a button cuff. It was better with the heavier sweatshirt fabric of my first make. The second one I made was panee velvet and doesn’t hang so well or show off the volume in the sleeve so we’ll either.

   Have just finished making this as a top – I left it longer and a flared out the edges at the bottom – very smart shoulder detail and I love the cuffs on the sleeve! Very happy with the end result.

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.
