   I made this in a heavy linen for a winter shirt, so the huge cuffs weren’t right. Had to extend the main sleeve length and add a normal cuff. Otherwise it made up really well. Can’t quite see the point of the stitched down box pleat at the back, however.

   Didn’t have enough fabric so chose a contrasting one for the inside of the cuffs. Took a bit of thinking to put it all together with bare minimum instructions but I love it!
   Will be trying another one soon when I find suitable fabric.
   Thanks, Jane

   Really love this shirt. I mistakenly only cut 2 cuff pieces and had thrown out my scraps before I realised I needed 4. As a result, I reshaped the two pieces and just folded them in half as I assumed would be the case based on the size of the pieces! and they work great. This does mean that the sleeves are more 3/4, but that is actually just how I like them, so I’m really very pleased with how things turned out. Minused a star for the instructions, but I will say, I am feeling more and more accomplished with every StyleArc pattern I successfully complete. There’s always a bit of head-scratching and interpretation that takes place, but that’s all part of the fun, right?!

   Just finished my Lauren Boyfriend Shirt. This pattern was just what I was looking for in a relaxed fit, yet stylish, shirt. The pattern went together well until I came to the cuffs. A few more details in the instructions would have made them easier to get attached. I did size down from the size in which my measurements placed me because I didn’t want to be overwhelmed by how oversized it is. I’ve already ordered fabric to make another!

   This is great for a little mental challenge. I also struggled with the cuffs but that’s kind of the best part so I perservered. It looks like a pirate short and I love it! I left some tips on my blog at http://www.Ithinkicansewit.com

   This pattern went together very well. And looked great on. I found the oversized cuffs difficult to manage and cumbersome. I eventually cut the turn-back off and find it more comfortable.

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.
