   A really quick and well fitting make. The pattern makes up really quickly and I found the fit around the shoulders and bust line to be spot on.

   I thought it would be a quick make but…. The bands on the neck gaped so I undid and resewed. They still gaped a bit and no, I didn’t stretch the body fabric, just the band. I think the band pieces were a bit long. My armholes gaped, so I put in a high dart on each side. It fixed the problem and I don’t think it’s noticeable as I used a very busy marble design on my cotton lycra. Once finished it’s comfortable to wear. Again the instructions are really poor compared to other independent pattern companies. The instructions said all seams a were 1cm but the markings on the band pattern pieces were clearly for 6mm seams. I have tried Style Arc several times and while the designs look great, the patterns fall down in their lack of instruction. I won’t be using Style Arc again. Sorry, but someone has to point out your major failing.

Please use the body measurements size charts below to determine your best size.

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.
