   This is my first StyleArc pattern. I ordered the multi sized preprinted format. I traced size 14 (5’10” 150 lbs) without any alterations. Because I am a sewist that likes to use a pattern without seam allowance and mark seam lines, I found the tracing tedious as the seam lines are sometimes hard to see. Other than that I found the fit to be unusually accurate. I often have to do many adjustments. I will be making this up in a finer fabric than my test draft for sure. Very pleased, even with the slow worldwide mail service.

   I am always pleased with what I make with a Style Arc pattern , with minimal pattern work and fitting ( some tapering , shortened sleeves) it is a modern proportioned shape.

   Not all patternmakers are created equal , and I feel this company always has timely designs with solid production techniques.

   I sew most of my clothes and I know that the fit is always dependable, thanks !

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.
