   Absolutely love this pattern. I made it in a crepe backed satin and it hung beautifully. I’ll definitely make it again.

   Made this for friend in chiffon which I flat lined. . Was an excellent fit and suited the wearer – size 14 . Shortening it was no problem. The recipient was very pleased with the final result. Will make again as a winter dress in a merino fabric.

   Penelope was an excellent make – suited my shape and I needed make no alterations (which was good as adjusting apart from length would have been difficult). I made it in a patterned (Tessuti) linen. The instructions were sufficient for me, and it turned out to be elegant and classy.

   Have not made the pattern up as yet but printing it out, I had to do several Test squares to get the size right. Finally got the test square to print to 10cm by printing at 104.5% on A4 paper. (in the UK)

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.
