   I love you Valentina, very happy with the end result. Downloaded this dress last year and when I decided to make it, lost weight so I knew the size was going to be too big…I was happy to know that I could have downloaded the dress again in a smaller size (bought size 12/14/16) if ever my degrading wasn’t going to work. Love everything about her; the neckline, the frill, I wished the sleeves would be floatier like the pics. I didn’t make the slip since I already had one.

   My purchase was absolutely fine, i love these patterns. I did miss out on getting a freebie for march, as i didnt see it available. Ive emailed about whether it can be collected after the purchase, but to date havent had a response. Otherwise good purchase

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.
