You must use a stable knit or bottom of placket is a disaster. Unless you stabilize it with interfacing. I stay stitched around where you clip corners.

Really good basic pattern. Problem with doing the placket the way the pattern said but took instructions from another StyleArc pattern and found that to be better. Size 16 perfect for me with no alteration (RTW size 16) Only problem was that the neckline opening seemed a little large and the collar stood away slightly more than I would have liked when buttoned up but fine when open. Might have a look at that next time making and there WILL be several next times with this pattern.

Lovely pattern. Only tricky bit is the placket which is sewn right sides together, turned out and sewn on top of the shirt. AsI found this a bit difficult I sewed my placket behind the shirt. Having made this top three times now though, the next time I will attempt the placket as per the instructions. Fit is great and perfect for playing golf.

This polo is beautiful when sewn up. Beautiful style and fit. My only complaint is the lack of instructions with the pattern. I’ve never done a placket before and found there wasn’t enough detail. I still don’t know if I did it correctly!

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.

Size 16 perfect for me with no alteration (RTW size 16) Only problem was that the neckline opening seemed a little large and the collar stood away slightly more than I would have liked when buttoned up but fine when open. Might have a look at that next time making and there WILL be several next times with this pattern.
