    Lovely dress and top. I’ve now made 2 dresses and a top and love them all.
    The instructions for sewing the pattern are really difficult to understand as I think they leave a lot of information out on the supposition that you know what to do! There are however sewing tutorials on YouTube.
    I’m making another top for my holiday in September as it’s now a staple in my wardrobe.

      Thank you so much for your review of the Porter Woven pack!
      We’re so pleased to hear you’ve made two dresses and a top, and that the style has become a staple in your wardrobe.

      We really appreciate your honest feedback about the construction instructions. This feedback is incredibly valuable to us, as we’re currently placing a strong focus on improving our construction sheets to provide clearer, more comprehensive support for our sewists.

    I do like the pattern however the sewing instructions are dreadful – minimum detail, confusing and at times incomplete eg stitch neck facing to neck but no mention of attaching front facing. Will not be buying any more Style Arc

    I have made several Tops (B) in linen. A very quick sew and a perfect fit the sizing is true to size – Bust measurement (98cm) so I made a 12 PERFECT.

    Looking forward to next summer to made some more.

    So far I’ve just made the top with the straight sleeves that cuff. I made my usual SA size and the fit was ‘spot on’ . I found the V was just the right depth. The top is quite cropped ( as you can see on the model) so I decided to cut the top in the dress length. I chose a bow closing, and added an extra bow to accommodate the length. I kept the slight curve in the front in the dress shape . I like it. I made the loops too, thinking when bows look really dated I’ll switch to the loop closing. Next time I’d cut the sleeve with another .05cm of width so I could French seam the side seams as they look much better when they are rolled up.

    I absolutely love this pattern and will be making more of the styles. The only thing I don’t really like is the placement of the darts. They seem like they are in a really akward high position.

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.
