   An extremely flattering top.
   I made this from a shot linen and it is stunning. I did remove the back opening and tested it before the facings were cut and attached the neckline was deep enough to go over my head.
   I will make this top again next time in a light and floaty fabric.

   Watch out for the neckline : dramatic pattern with one caveat for those of us ordering the sizes 24 – 30. Beware the neckline. I checked all my measurements and made a few adjustments (FBA) and bicep area. I didn’t give the neck opening a thought because I don’t usually have a problem with those. The line drawing shows a neckline that is close to the base of your neck. In the upper sizes (I don’t know about the smaller sizes), the neckline is a gigantic opening that shows both bra straps and drops down in back and front. More suited to a horse’s neck. Anyway, I went back and drafted a neckline that more closely resembled the picture. I had to add about 2inches height in the back and 4 inches in the front and 2 inches to the shoulder width on each side. That’s a lot of adding to get a neckline that looks like the line drawing. Other than that, the garment goes together very well and looks very nice. It works with wovens and stable knits. Next I’m planning to try with a little more stretchy stable knit. It is a pretty pattern, just adjust the neckline to fit your neck and I think it will be a winner.

   Gorgeous drape, fit and sleeves are perfect, dramatic but still wearable. #makingclothesilove

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.
