    I found the sizing on this one to be quite small in comparison to all my other Style Arc makes in the same size which have been perfect. I sized up one size and I still could have gone bigger for an average fit. The instructions were good in general. The curve of the hem though made it near impossible to hem as per instructions. As I had just completed a couple of knit tops with curved hems from another pattern maker I found the hem on the Fran really tricky and didn’t really get a professional finish by following the instructions unfortunately.

    About to make my second one. Very easy to make. Might take some of the curve out of the hem this time. I found hemming such a strong curve a little tricky but that is down to me.

    This is my first time making a Style Arc pattern and I enjoyed making this top as a starter!

    I like the fact that I could just pick my size, print, and cut it out. The top fits nicely and will be making 3 more. I consider myself a intermediate sewer, so this took me less than 2 hours to sew. Looking forward to making another pattern from Style Arc!

    Very easy to put together. Would recommend going up a size if you want it a little roomy. It’s quite snug on my hips but that could be the style. Will be making again in different fabrics.

    Great top, and so so easy to sew. Sits perfect around neckline, body and sleeves. Love how the sleeve is in 2 pieces, gives character, and how they taper in, no more baggy sleeves

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.
