I love it! I normally do a FBA but I didn’t have to this time. The construction was easy and fast. I changed a couple of things like creating a front opening and French bias around the armholes and neckline. I love the shape of the skirt.

I love this design. I did the sleeved version. The sleeves seemed a little restrictive. I went down a size as well. I think that may have had an effect on the sleeve mobility. If I had gone up a size or two it would have been too big. Lovely design though.

Love the drafting, very flattering style on everyone who makes it. I made my tucks slightly shallower as I didn’t want them too fitted at the waist. Chose the V neck. I can get it on without the zipper.

I found the tutorial very helpful and am pleased with my Brontë dress though found the sizing generous even when following the finished garment measurements.. I’m generally a 10 and made the 8, but could have gotten by with the 6! The ability to adjust the pleats was a big help.

This is a lovely pattern, easy to follow and hangs nicely when worn.

I used a lightweight cotton/linen mix and it’s perfect for my upcoming holiday!

I like the pattern, however, the sizing was larger than expected. The pinched waist was rather loose and will need to size down (2 sizes smaller) to create the hourglass illusion for next attempt

  Hi Angelique,
  
  Thank you for sharing.
  
  We’d love to see your Bronte if you’d like to share with us. Our sizing is in AU sizing which can be a little confusing however our finished garment measurements are listed on the site if you’d like to double check the fit for your next version 🙂

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.
