The Italia shirt dress gives a lovely result. I have made this in cotton chambray, cotton drill, and medium weight linen. I also made a sleeveless version in striped denim, with bias finished armholes. One of my favourite dress patterns

I made a denim chambray dress with my usual adjustments: full bust, round back and sway back. The fit and style are very flattering. It is well drafted, but as is typical with Style Arc, the instructions are scarce. As a very experienced sexist, I can work my way through without a problem. I love Style Arc’s designs. Keep them coming!

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.

This is a nice pattern, but with little instructions as is typical for StyleArc. You kind of need to know what you’re doing already. I think the final garment turned out nicely, but I think if I was to make it again, I would make a few changes, including lengthening it (again – I already added my standard 2 inches as I’m 5’10”), grading out at the hip for a little more ease, and altering the front armscye (it binds a little there when I reach forward). All in all though, a lovely pattern.
