   Why do I like Brenda?
   Brenda’s design lines work for my full bust and belly.
   The neckline : It has a collar and a v neckline that is stabilised so it always sits nicely.
   The darts: give an illusion of a waist .
   The curved hemline: covers my belly and doesn’t add visual width to me hips.

   I love this pattern, it is, along with a couple of others from Style Arc that I make so very often. I have purchased another one for my daughter to make as work blouses. She is thrilled with them as well as the compliments she gets on them. I really wish the PDF came in multiple sizes as both patterns are showing their heavy use. The design is flexible & comfortable & yet has enough design style to look great. It would have to be my favourite, one of anyway!

   This is my favorite go-to short sleeve blouse pattern.
   I prefer to make it in liberty lawn as that fabric suits our summer climate better.
   I needed to do a full bust adjustment and the now shirt fits perfectly.

   I have had this pattern for ages and recently decided to get the pdf file version as I have used my original pattern so much that it is starting to look very tired.
   I recommend this pattern

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.
