   trés joli modèle ,beaucoup d’élégance et malgré tout facile à porter
   Je l’ai réalisé avec une viscose pas trop épaisse
   J’ai un peu “galéré” avec les manches ; mais comme elles font tout le charme du modèle, j’ai persévéré…
   je reste toujours aussi enthousiaste avec les patrons Stylearc

   I love this pattern. Made it in a soft drapey twill paisley print and it looks lovely. I’m super impressed with the patterns. They can be trusted with their measurements, and the patterns are intuitive and user friendly.

   I made this in a fabric bought from an Op shop so i’m not sure exactly the composition. I did narrow the width to the hem as it wasn’t as drapey as I would have liked and the slight a-line didn’t work for my shape. Having said that, I think in a lighter fabric like crepe it would be excellent. The fit was good and the drafting excellent as usual. I have worn this dress a lot as it is really comfortable.

   Loved making this pattern. Really easy and quick to make. Good instructions. Will make it again in different fabric. I made it in crepe and it gave it a lovely drape.

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.
