Great fitting dress. Easy to sew, fits perfectly with no adjustments. I used a Ponte knit and cap sleeves. I love the option to print the pdf and have the pattern ready to go the same day of purchase. I love the clean lines of style arc patterns and the clear simple instructions. No fuss!

One of Style Arc’s best knit dresses, so simply stylish.
The sizing is true to size.
Putting it together is rather straightforward once you work out your left from your right (ha ha).
I made no adjustments, however next time I will alter the neckline to be about 1 inch higher to be age appropriate (60+) as I would prefer not to show any cleavage.
Thanks for the suggestion to use swimmer elastic on the neckline this certainly made a huge difference.
Great pattern.

I LOVED THIS PATTERN, very easy and gave an easy way of doing the neck and arm interfacing, which worked well for me the size was spot on apart from the arm holes came up big, but I am getting used to this and now adjust them before I use the pattern. I love the thick paper pattern so much easier than tissue which rip’s.

Nice easy dress, a quick sew that can be dressed up or down. However a caution – if you’re petite you’ll have to make major adjustments, and there are no markings for adjustments on the pattern. I’m 5′,1″, I had to raise the neckline, shorten the waist length had to shorten And narrow the shoulders.

As usual from style arc the sizing is spot on. This is easy and quick to make up but the neckline is far too low for comfort. I used a ponte knit and made it with long sleeves. I did however add on 5cm to each side – not because it needed it only because it suited my stomach better and I raised the neckline by about 2”. I will make this again..

Then pattern itself looks great. Putting it together ( a first) was a pain. Next time I would pay more and wait for a paper pattern .But I wanted top try a PDF one as I hadn’t before.

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.
