   I made this for a holiday party, finished everything in one evening the night before the party. It got many compliments and was a fun run! I made it out of a glitter dusted velvet. I felt like the skirt really dragged the bodice down. When I make this again I will opt for a lighter fabric.

   I made this dress in time for last Christmas. I did increase the bodice length a bit as I found the high waist a bit too high on me, in the size I made but with that minor adjustment I was very happy with the result

   A very easy pattern to put together, true to size. Be sure to follow the instructions for the neck and armhole bindings, I used a lawn to do the bindings it sits very well on a medium weight viscose knit. The hand stitching is essential if you want a quality finish.
   A stunning dress which is very flattering, I received many comments when I wore this to the races.

   Great dress pattern was easy to follow – just need to be able to go out and wear 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.
