A perfect staple for your work week, this is a classic clean fitting shift dress. The detailed front yoke adds style and interest along with the clever “floating pockets”. Why not use a contrast fabric for the under yoke? This great pattern can be a Dress or a Tunic.
Fabric Suggestion
Linen, Crepe, Washed silk, Light wool

I have not yet made this up, but I agree with previous reviewers that the instructions are confusing: the pictures and written instructions for attaching the yoke do not correspond. The bib front seems to have far too many layers, if made up in anything but a very thin fabric, which is not what I was looking for.

Definitely not thrilled with the poor quality instructions and graphic images that are impossible to decipher and are not correlated to the steps in the written instructions which are in a font size of about 2. Also, printed pattern does not have a pre-marked grid (which makes for easy pattern adjustments). One last thing, there are much better ways of constructing the bib than the one given in the instructions – however, a better overall pattern design would greatly facilitate an easier bib method.
StyleArc has some interesting designs but unfortunately, I won’t be purchasing any more patterns from them based on my poor experience with this one.

I love StyleArc patterns, but you need to be a somewhat experienced sewer. Instructions lack detail about finishing procedures, for instance. I liked the detail of the slits at the wrist on this pattern. But the artwork showing the tunic on the model does not match reality. The slits are on the underarm sleeve, so they do not finish up on the outer side of the wrist as the art work seems to suggest. I thought I’d made a mistake, but no, it was the artwork that was off. The line art on the paperwork, however, is accurate, by the way. Also, I think the shaping of the bustline is more suited to a young figure. The curvature on the bodice creates a rather high bustline and I have a mature figure. I was able to make an adjustment and am pleased with the results. I used linen for this pattern, and love the look. ❤️

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.
