   Great pattern, a basic design so still good for newbies. As I have commented before the instructions are not very detailed so good knowledge of sewing is best. I will be making another 1 or 2 sets,

   Lovely design and very happy with the finished product. I lengthened the sleeves and the body to give me a bit more coverage.
   I used 100% cotton with contrast trims.
   Overall very pleased
   My only moan would be paucity of instructions. I’m not a novice maker so I did my own thing but newbies might be put off.

   Love this kimono style, made it up with floral fabric from my stash, with contrasting trims. Very happy with the finished result, perfect cover up for warmer days. My daughters have each ordered one, so will be making it up again! Only one niggle, hence 4 stars instead of 5 – the instructions are extremely basic, I am not a beginner so managed to figure it out, but more full, detailed instructions would be a huge improvement.

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.
