   I am in love with my just-finished Vera woven blouse. I did have a bit of a time with the front pleats as did Dimorr, in a previous post. I persevered using my dress form to see how the placing should go. Other than that, the pattern was easy to follow. Being only 5 feet tall, I considered shortening the blouse, but it turned out to be the correct length for me. I will definitely make this again; I used a dressy crepe but it would also look wonderful in a more casual fabric. I am considering making the Ascot belt as an accessory to the blouse to give it a different, more tailored look. I highly recommend this pattern!

   Gorgeous blouse. I used a vanilla coloured silk which has lines of caramel stitching. The simple uncluttered blouse ensures the fabric is the star, so it’s worth splashing out on a luxury fabric. Three quarter sleeves are so flattering, as are the cuffs and V neck. I’ll be making this one again!!

   I love this pattern. I made it up in a crepe fabric which drapes beautifully and gives lovely soft pleats. I found the pleats a bit tricky, there are some good line drawings, but I ended up contacting Style Arc and I was sent some photographs of their samples which helped me to complete the blouse easily. Their support is always fantastic. I made this into a short sleeve blouse as it was still quite hot where I live. The cross over is modest and mine hasn’t gaped at all. I recommend you have a go at this pattern.

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.
