This was an easy quick sew that I really enjoyed.
I didn’t quite understand the instructions where you sew the armholes, so I just used the burrito method which worked fine.
I made a straightforward size 14 with no adjustments.

Thought the Byron top was amazing! I fit a straight up size 10 and my daughter a straight up size 12 and it fits perfect!!! So easy and quick have made 3 and that’s for summer … can see making more to wear under jackets or cardigans for the fall and winter. Also… I’m old… but the neckline was modest enough. Great pattern!

I was hesitant to purchase the Byron but I kept coming back. Reading into the reviews I realised the problem wasn’t the pattern but the expectation that all patterns should be drafted for every individual; this is impossible. The majority of the viral patterns have no shaping, which i guess is why they go viral. They are sympathetic towards the majority of builds because they’re more on the sac end of the spectrum than the glove end. The pattern suggested as an alternative to the Byron top is a classic example.
The instructions for the Byron Top are straightforward. For the simplicity of the pattern I believe they’re sufficient, although I have experience with garment sewing so someone sewing their first garment might need a little assistance.
The fit. As sewist we shouldn’t expect a garment to fit straight from the pattern, unless it was drafted specifically for you. I was astounded when I tried on my first iteration; it fits like a glove. No gaping, no falling of the shoulders and no drag lines. I made 2 tops in the one day as I couldn’t believe it.
Style Arc strive to make patterns that fit, for me the drafting is a step above most other companies.
For reference I used my full bust measurement to pick my size (98cm) and I made a size 10.

I’m not sure why style arc won’t write their seam allowances on their patterns? Or at least in the instructions? I’ve seen this issue called out for years with no change. This pattern is ok, gapes at the armholes. The team allowance issue deters me from buying any more patterns.

Love the style of this top with the square neckline. The instructions were a little sparse but by using the online tutorial and video of the method to attach the facing to the body of the blouse, that made it quite a bit easier. I had trouble with the different seam allowances that are noted on the pattern but not in the instructions. On some pieces the seam allowances start at once length and end at another. I found that to get the armholes to not gape I had to take the side seams in quite a bit which then made it a bit tight across the back. I’m sure there is another fix for that. I am going to try to make this one more time as the top is an easy summer wear and looks great (on me) from the front 😉

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.
