   Well designed and sews together relatively quickly into a flattering dress. Suggest the guidance of the fabric requirements is a little optimistic. I’m trying to cut my second one, a size 14, from 2m of small directional print and really struggling with pattern tetris. I’d certainly recommend using at least another 20cm and probably a little more. Lost a star for this reason.

   I like the way the bodice looks with the cross-over pieces that tie in the back. I think it’s very flattering. It looks more complicated than it turned out to be. It went together quite fast and easy. I made VERY few minor alterations. I made it in a lightweight polyester charmeuse. It’s best to use a very drapey fabric because you don’t want the bodice drape to be bulky.

   An interesting design and I’m really pleased with how it turned out. It’s first outing was to a birthday lunch and was perfect, especially after a long lunch. It’s so comfortable, the sort of dress you put on and forget about. It looked good all day long. I made it from a viscose with a slight crepe. Great for travelling as it doesn’t crease or need ironing. This fabric has been in my stash for almost a year as I wanted to find the right pattern for it. I love the print but only had two metres so it was a bit of a challenge to pattern match the front seam. The only change to the pattern I made was to lengthen the ties a little and omitted the topstitching of the front seam as I didn’t want to draw attention to the seam. https://instagram.com/p/Bh8b0tcB2dx/

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.
