   I love this pattern.

   I was in between sizes and I sized down and it fits nicely. I don’t like things too big.

   The instructions were a little vague so I think they’d be tricky for a beginner to follow. It was quite tricky joining the sleeve frills and making sure they were even / level. If the instructions were more thorough I would have given this 5 stars.

   The finished blouse is lovely and I will definitely make more if this pattern.

   When I started to cut this pattern, I went a little haywire and cut it into a dress. It turned out great!

   I agree with the previous reviewer who said this is not an oversized pattern. That said, next time I make it, I will add a little in the torso – I sit all day at work so having this a tad roomier in that area will be more comfortable.

   I am 6’ tall, used 18-30 pattern and brown patterned cotton fabric.

   Another great pattern from SA! The pattern is not oversized so read carefully the finished measurements. I didn’t make any adjustments to the size 14 even though I am 5’3″ with short arms. Very easy to make, sleeve frill was the most challenging part but I just took my time on the sleeves and it turned out great. Directions are easy to follow and include more pictures than usual in a Style Arc pattern. I love that this PDF has layers so I can print the size I needed.

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.
