Another lovely quick sew from Style Arc patterns. I did not like the turned in armholes (they gaped too much) so added a self binding. Lovely design that works dressed up or down.

This was a great pattern to refamiliarize myself with sewing after a 40 year break! I selected my size using the Size Chart and it fits perfectly. I added a little ruffled stand-up collar.

Since my knit fabric was 100% cotton I made a size larger. No additional FBA was needed.
I increased the right side seam to 5/8″ so there was not a jog at the vent edge finishing. On the armhole edge I just serge, turn up and top stitched in place.
I did add a neck band to the v-neck. I have fabric to make at least 5 more since this will be one of my go tops for the summer. Great pattern!

I have made this top twice already, it was very easy to make.
I found in the size I made I needed to add a side dart because it gaped a little at the sides but otherwise I’m really happy with this pattern and will likely make a couple more.

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.
