Made my first Portia top in a double gauze and very quickly made a second in a viscose! Really straightforward pattern and a good fit with no adjustments, other than lopping 1.25” off the bodice length. Experimented with using my bias binding maker to create the thin straps and it worked a treat 😊👍

Easy and beautiful make, but I really wish the patterns had layering. Hoping for some updates, as it gets annoying printing all sizes every time.

simple but stylish. read seam allowances, mark on your pattern as they vary and it is easy to forget which amount to sew. limited instructions provided. I needed to make a muslin as between sizes for fitting.

Nice easy quick make! Also nice to try out buttons and buttonholes on a simple make.
The only issues I had was that the instructions are a little limited and they only have wide format or at home printing, not a0 which is the standard large printing size in my country.
I like style arc patterns because there are so many designs to choose from and so many sizes.

Perfect cami for summer. I already made two of them and I’ll sew others for sure. It’s perfect for using little scraps of Light woven fabric. I made a size 12 shortening 3 cm because I’m only 5.1”, bust 103cm C cup. I recommand

An easy make, but the instructions are not detailed enough, and the pattern markings for the strap placement at the front were confusing.
I made it in a linen and it’s a lovely breezy casual top.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
