   I was unsure of this pattern at first especially when I realised how many pieces I needed to put together, but I changed my mind when I finished it and tried it on. It fits really well and has shape in all the right places without being too big or too fitted. I made the sleeveless version in a size 14 using a lightweight cotton slub fabric. It sewed up easily. I omitted the back opening. I will definitely make this dress again.

   I loved this pattern, although it looks complicated it is really easy to cut out and sew, and the instructions are very clear. For my next one though I will do a full bust alteration as it could do with a bit more shape there for me. Also I have chubby arms so I am also going to remove the pleat in the sleeves, I didn’t add the cuffs on this one as I felt it was a bit too much for me.

   I would highly recommend this pattern.

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.
