I like this pattern. I have several suggestions to make. I am 5’3″ and size 14. This pattern has a little negative ease for me and even though I used a knit (double knit with spandex), I suggest other sewists enlarge the seam allowances if an easy fit is desired, to be on the safe side. I suggest that the designers indicate the waistline on the pattern. My dress now has an empire waist because I had to raise the lower dress by 2 ” in total. I had made a change of 0.5″ previously, but not enough. I think the line of gathers should fall close to the hip joint to be flattering. It is hard to tell in the illustrations where they are placed on the body.
I had to shorten the sleeves and added elastic ruching as well. I am happy with the finished product and look forward to wearing it.

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.
