   Agree with other reviewers on lack of complete instructions, and I am an experienced seamstress! I found this pattern to fit slimmer than other StyleArc patterns I’ve used, so check finished measurements closely. I converted the top to a dress , and I am quite pleased.

   End result is ok if a little boxy fitting.
   But the instructions are so sketchy! I had just made a kid’s polo so used the other designer’s instructions for the placket, there just was not enough detail.

   I really like the pattern, but agree that the instructions for the front opening could be clearer. Also, I made the long sleeved version & the sleeve was very (& i mean very) long. I’m reasonably tall & had to take about 10 cms off the length.

   The final result is lovely, but there is a crucial part unclear in the instructions.

   When sewing the placket, stop stitching at the NOTCH at the bottom of the placket, not all the way at the end like the illustration shows! `Then snip only to where you stopped stitching.

   I had to recut the whole front, because I did not realise until after I snipped 😭

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.
