    In general I like your styles and I’m happy with the finished result but the pattern needs editing. Like the previous reviewer I was confused by the fact that there were no *s marked on the pattern fronts as referred to in the instructions. I had to undo parts of seams after working out where the *s should have been.
    Apart from this the garment was a fairly quick and easy project, although I didn’t make the shirred version. I’m about to make another dress from the same pattern and expect this to be easier now that I understand how to sew the front panel

    First time trying StyleArc and first time doing shirring! With silk no less. Very happy with outcome. I’m much more used to vogue patterns but the description and blog covered any questions I had. The notation may not be what I am used coming from making the big 4, but then I expect every company to have its own unique way of communicating. Very pleased with the dress and it was a quick sew. Omitted the side zipper as didn’t need it to get it on or off. I always likes to save a zipper where it is possible.

    I like your dresses but your patterns aren’t always so good. For example, you refer to * in the Philomena description but there are no * on the patterns.

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.
