   To start, this shirt pattern is adorable. It fits well with only a minor bust point adjustment. I do not recommend ordering the multi-size pattern as the pattern markings, particularly for the left front yoke, are not correct for all sizes. I ended up reordering the single sized pattern after a couple of frustrating hours re-working the yoke. The only reason I am giving it four stars is I find the instructions with Style Arc to be unnecessarily minimal. This is the second pattern from Style Arc I have made and both times I have found errors in pattern labeling and the written instructions were vague and misleading. I honestly do not understand why a company would bother assigning a number to a pattern piece but don’t reference the pattern piece number in the written instructions. That said, the pattern assembly diagram is ingenious and is greatly appreciated. I do not recommend this pattern for a beginner, not because it is a difficult project, but the minimal instructions could be a problem.

Please use the body measurements size charts below to determine your best size.

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.
