   Brilliant pattern. Took me a bit of time to get my head around the pattern as it is very different to what I am used to. I made a couple of modifications to the length and I attached the straps. Loved the pattern so much I have made it in two different fabrics.

   This is a beautiful summer dress and exactly what I wanted. I made a size 12 grading to a 14 at the waist and hips in a rayon print.
   I didn’t have quite enough fabric for the skirt length and pieced together leftover bits to add a ruffle at the hem.
   I had to sew the wrap closed at the busy because it was gaping too much and I also added bra cups inside the bodice.
   The only other mod I made was sewing the straps to the back panel as my fabric was too lightweight for buttons.
   I’ll definitely make this pattern again but next time I’ll do a small bust adjustment and I’ll use a more stable fabric. This dress would be lovely in linen for summer.

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.
