    I want to love this pattern, because it’s a type of style that’s very flattering and hard to find for some reason, but the proportions seem off. It’s my own fault for not making a muslin first — the sleeves are so tight I had to insert a small triangular underarm gusset. The collar is superbly drafted, as always with StyleArc, and I really love the pintucking detail, so will try again either slicing & spreading the sleeves or making one size larger than normal to see if that fixes the issue. Width of the body seems OK, it’s just the upper sleeves that are narrow.

    Also a tip: the bottom of this blouse goes up on the sides like a tuck-in blouse, not squared off as it appears in the drawings, so if you plan to wear it without tucking in, definitely cut it longer than you need to make sure you can get the coverage you’d prefer.

    Disappointed in this pattern for a number of reasons. The sleeves are very narrow along the whole length (and far too long for me), and because of this the shoulder area of the blouse is also very narrow, despite there being gathers on the neck at the back.
    It’s not really apparent from the picture, but the bottom of the blouse has a curved seam, like shirt tails, which is not what I was wanting.
    I am really sorry about this as the blouse as drawn is exactly what I was looking for.

    This is one of my favorite styles. I can sometimes use a 14 pattern and for others I get a 16. I’m glad I got a 16 this time. I agree with the other reviewer about the sleeve and shoulder area. The top feel tight across the shoulder and upper arm area. I unstitched and resewed, but there wasn’t much to let out. And if you have a bit of dowager’s hump don’t use this pattern. As can be seen in the photo, it forms a pleat between the neckline and the upper arm.
    I think for that style, I’ll choose another pattern.

    I choose the version with the pin tucks, which I love. I made my usual size without measuring the pattern – stupid me! It made up beautifully but the sleeves were very tight on me. I didn’t have enough fabric to re-cut them so have given the top to a friend with skinnier arms and she is thrilled with it, I’ll be making this again now I have cut and spread the sleeve pattern to match my block pattern. My bad. Have realised that all the Style Arc patterns I have made before have been with knit fabrics and the sleeves haven’t been a problem at all. I’ll be checking the pattern measurements first in future.

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.
