   I made two of this pattern and the fit is perfect and was a super easy sew. The first I used a rayon challis print and did it exactly as illustrated and the second one I fooled around a bit and made it a pop over with no buttons and used a crepe non stretch fabric and it still goes on fine. I just put the centre front line on the fold , then made a seam in the center front of the collar ( instead of hemming the edges)and cut a front and back facing for the neckline. Both so darn cute and summery ! Thank – you Stylearc for this pattern !

   I love this top and plan to make more for next summer.
   I did find the directions lacking, but managed to hack my way through (no mention of some steps with the collar)
   Id add a pic but its only on my phone, not any accounts

   I just love this top! I had a small amount of fabric I really liked, but not enough for a whole top – so I did the front and frill/collar in that with a plain black back made of a cheap jersey – which does cling a bit – but that is the fabric rather than the pattern. I did find the armholes were way too big – but that might be partly because of the stretchy back stretching. That was sorted by my sewing up further. Next time I will check the size of the armholes against a pattern which I know fits well. Yes, there will definitely be a next time.
   I love this top! AND it was free! I would recommend it even if you have to buy it.

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.
