The slightly cocoon shaped skirt with asymmetrical design lines balances well with the angled waisted knit bodice on this designer dress. The interestingly shaped pattern pieces come together easily for a quick sew.
Easy pattern to follow. I made it in Ponte de Roma, size 16 and fits wonderfulky

Made this as a skirt. Cut the pieces according to the pattern, took in a bit in the side seams, added invisible zipper and waistband. Don’t know why, but when it’s on the hanger the hem is asymmetric and when I put it on it looks almost straight….Love the result anyhow!

Love this pattern! Nicely fitted through the bodice falling to an interesting skirt design. It is a bit voluminous, so I wouldn’t do it in a stiff fabric, but the stripe jersey I used was just right.

Love this pattern, I made it sleeveless for summer and have a ‘soft coloured’ knit up top and then a big bold print for the woven – looks great and fits well

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.
