   Roomy fit, little on large size. I found the instructions a little difficult to follow especially trying to get the hem to fit nicely together.

   Overall construction was not too bad, but as with many of the older patterns, instructions and photos are scarce. The part I most had trouble with was the corner where the bust meets the sleeve. Also, the shoulder rides up and sticks out, I think it’s too arced or something, I need to fiddle with it next time I use the pattern. As it’s already a pretty loose fit, a larger size would have been too big for me.

   I bought this pattern to use a not stretchy knit. I worked well and fits well. I have, however, learned somethings about your patterns. First- you need to pay close attention to the FINISHED measurements of the garment. You have VERY generous ease in your patterns..and that I learned the hard way. Second- your instructions assume an experienced sewer is making the garment. I am experienced, but some of the instructions were sketchy at best. I love the unusual styling of your patterns, and with what I have learned- I expect to be happy with my makes.

   Love the styling of the pattern but like other reviews the hem and its construction is complicated and could do with further explanation or diagram to simplify. I also had issues with the sleeve to yoke assembly. Having made the top (its wearable but not my best piece of work), I would like to make again as it makes a bit more sense now. I don’t think this is a serger only project and would recommend construction with sewing machine and lightning bolt stitch, which is how I will assemble next time.

   I’ve not had time to make this up yet but I’m pretty keen to use a fleecy with a placement transfer which is close to the cut edge.

   Superbe patron!!! Je l’apprécie beaucoup car d’un côté il est original avec sa coupe plongeante dernière et d’autre part très confortable. Néanmoins mesurant 154cm je l’ai du raccourcir de plusieurs cm et réduire la largeur de 4cm. L’effet est très réussi.

   Superb patron !!! I like it a lot because on the one hand it is original with its last plunging cut and on the other hand very comfortable. However, measuring 154cm I had to shorten it by several cm and reduce the width by 4cm. The effect is very successful.

   I made this top in fleecy, which was fine, but I ended up chopping the bottom off as it was too tricky for me!!
   In addition, I put the sleeves in upside down, so altogether I didn’t have a lot of luck with it.
   I needed more instructions and I imagine that I wouldn’t be Robinson Crusoe.
   Next time I’ll try harder and I’ll use a lighter fabric, but if extra instructions were available that would be really wonderful.
   Thanks so much.
   Chris 😊

   Love this pattern I usually have to do a FBA for my F Cup but this pattern fitted perfectly (pretty roomy) love the details and very easy to follow. I mad it in a fleece and ned time will be making in a softer fabric to change the look completely.

   Tested the pattern recently. Instructions for completing the hem were difficult to follow. Now I know how the pattern fits together, will try again but will sew a straight hem.

    Great pattern, nice design lines for top stitching. Quite easy to sew, even with style arcs usual minimal instructions. Quite roomy fit.

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.
