   I love this top have made two now, quite easy to make, just had to catch the bottom at the crossover as it moves a bit higher.
   Very flattering, love the neckline. Also made straight from pattern size 12 didn’t need to drape on mannequin

   Kira has become one of my favorite tops ! I used a bamboo spandex knit for my most recent one. I was confused by the criss cross front and referred to the tutorial. I secured one side and hung on my dress maker form to formalize the drape. I also used a fusible tape for the hem before stitching the hems. I tend to push up sleeves so elastic in a casing instead of cuff. I broke my arm and elbow before I could take a photo. Once healthy I will put a photo on Facebook

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.
