   I finally got around to making both the shirt & pants. I was in a hurry, I needed (wanted) them quickly so decided to leave the cuffs & piping off. I just allowed a little extra length for legs & arms & a cut-on fold over waistband. They both went together very quickly & easily. Nothing out of the way to construct if you’ve made collared shirts & basic pants before. I love the length in the top, it is quite luxurious to not have to keep pulling your pyjama top down all the time to keep your tummy warm! I could easily use this as a template for a proper blouse, it sits beautifully. Fit as usual was good. Very happy with the finished article even though I used a silk viscose which frayed as you looked at it! So glad I purchased the pattern & finally made it up, there will be more

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.
