This versatile sewing pattern offers both a top and dress option, allowing you to create a look that suits your style. Choose between a round or V-neckline and customise the sleeves with either elbow or 3/4 length, both gathered into a bind for a polished finish. The slight A-line shape provides a flattering silhouette, while topstitched front and back feature seams add subtle detailing. A back split opening with a button and loop closure, along with wide hem facings, complete this stylish and customisable design.

This is my first Style Arc pattern and I loved working with it so much! Like others mentioned, the 3/4 length sleeve I found had too much “poof” behind my back arm and elbow, so I took the back bottom curve up about 2.5” and graded the curve back to the side seam and inner elbow curve. Easy adjustment for a more flattering look on my thicker upper arms without taking away from the overall aesthetic of the design. I also found this a very roomy shirt but still quite flattering and stylish. I made the v neck option and raised the opening up about an inch. (I’m a bit short in the torso.) I used a block printed white cotton poplin and it turned out very cute. I can’t wait to wear it this summer and make more tops and dresses with this pattern!

I think next time I will size down as it was very loose and the neck too low, I enjoyed the making but think my fabric was too soft, next time I will make in a linen perhaps.

Maravilloso, super bonito. He cosido el vestido y genial. Suelo tener la talla 6 para el cuerpo y la 8 para pantalones y faldas, pero viendo las medidas finales, la 6 perfecta. Seguro que lo repetiré en otro tejido.

This is a really stylish pattern. I’ve made 2 – one in linen for daytime with the shorter sleeve and one for evening that I made in black lace with a lined body and long sleeve. True to size and length was just right, although the V neck is quite low.

My Zalia top with round neck, sewn in a soft cotton double gauze, is easy to make and comfortable to wear. Next make will be the dress version and tops in other sizes for friends.

Loved making this dress. Made a toile first in a 16 but shoulders were too big so cut a 14 and did a gaping armhole adjustment before cutting my linen fabric. Very pleased with my make. Will make this again in a print.

Great pattern. Added more length to the top to hide tummy.! Decided on the short sleeves and round neck. Sleeve length annoyed me the way it encased my elbow however have had favorable comments. I love the concept of the sleeves. Have made the long sleeve V neck option and LOVE it. Will definitely make another. How about that, 3 of them, I’m on a roll! Thought the binding was a tad narrow which was fiddly maybe that was fabric choice..easy fix by making it a little wider. All in all a big plus.

I really like the Zalia as a top, the sleeves are interesting and it is comfortable to wear. The instructions were detailed enough but not too detailed and it came together quite easily in about 5 hours from start to finish. As a dress, I found the fit to be quite shapeless and I wondered if I had made it too big (even though I found the size fine on the top). I wonder if adding a bust dart would improve the fit. I will definitely make the top version again but may not bother with the dress.

Lovely pattern. Pieces go together effortlessly. Not sure I loved the sleeves, but will still make again. I will also add couple inches to length. This time happy to add length with lace border. Cut on the fold so that didnt need to pattern match. Plan more, and also will make top.

It is a lovely dress and easy to sew. I made it in some linen I had purchased years ago from a market in Provence. Only issue was original line art showed a bust dart but the pattern doesn’t have one. There was so much extra fabric around the armhole I ended up putting in a dart (per the original line art) and thought I’d have a bit of adjusting to do when inserting the sleeve – however, the sleeve fit perfectly without any adjustment!

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.

This is my first Style Arc pattern and I loved working with it so much! Like others mentioned, the 3/4 length sleeve I found had too much “poof” behind my back arm and elbow, so I took the back bottom curve up about 2.5” and graded the curve back to the side seam and inner elbow curve. Easy adjustment for a more flattering look on my thicker upper arms without taking away from the overall aesthetic of the design. I also found this a very roomy shirt but still quite flattering and stylish. I made the v neck option and raised the opening up about an inch. (I’m a bit short in the torso.) I used a block printed white cotton poplin and it turned out very cute. I can’t wait to wear it this summer and make more tops and dresses with this pattern!

Loved making this dress. Made a toile first in a 16 but shoulders were too big so cut a 14 and did a gaping armhole adjustment before cutting my linen fabric. Very pleased with my make. Will make this again in a print.

Great pattern. Added more length to the top to hide tummy.! Decided on the short sleeves and round neck. Sleeve length annoyed me the way it encased my elbow however have had favorable comments. I love the concept of the sleeves. Have made the long sleeve V neck option and LOVE it. Will definitely make another. How about that, 3 of them, I’m on a roll! Thought the binding was a tad narrow which was fiddly maybe that was fabric choice..easy fix by making it a little wider. All in all a big plus.

I really like the Zalia as a top, the sleeves are interesting and it is comfortable to wear. The instructions were detailed enough but not too detailed and it came together quite easily in about 5 hours from start to finish. As a dress, I found the fit to be quite shapeless and I wondered if I had made it too big (even though I found the size fine on the top). I wonder if adding a bust dart would improve the fit. I will definitely make the top version again but may not bother with the dress.

Lovely pattern. Pieces go together effortlessly. Not sure I loved the sleeves, but will still make again. I will also add couple inches to length. This time happy to add length with lace border. Cut on the fold so that didnt need to pattern match. Plan more, and also will make top.

It is a lovely dress and easy to sew. I made it in some linen I had purchased years ago from a market in Provence. Only issue was original line art showed a bust dart but the pattern doesn’t have one. There was so much extra fabric around the armhole I ended up putting in a dart (per the original line art) and thought I’d have a bit of adjusting to do when inserting the sleeve – however, the sleeve fit perfectly without any adjustment!

This is a perfect pattern for my shape and height 5’1/155cm.I t fits beautifully around the shoulders and I think that is essential,, skims the rest of my body and has a lovely detailed sleeve.I already have 2 more in the pipeline.
