This dress has a beautiful fit, and was easy to alter to my proportions. Instructions were limited but not really necessary for this simple dress. I noted that the finished measurements were smaller than the measurements given for my size, so I had to but a little bit bigger so that it could be a little loose fitting.

Nice dress, not difficult to make. However as with all the Style Arc patterns I’ve sewn, instructions leave a bit to be desired.
This pattern is an easy one, but I’ve sewn more difficult ones that have scant instructions. Anyone with less sewing experience would understandably struggle.
Being used to the comprehensive instructions provided from other independent pattern companies, I think Style Arc could do better!

Oh my …how I love this dress pattern. I chose not to use the darts as it would then be too fitted for my less than slim midriff. But can see how they would be fab.
I made size 14. The thing that drew me to Style Arc in first place was that the parts would fit properly…they do.
This is an easy make but very classic lines. Take you anywhere. I have made 3 now. Added a sleeve flounce to one. And will make more. Love it.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
