    Great pattern. Wonderful fit. Had no issue with any part of the construction, including the darts. The button band is narrow, requiring vertical buttonholes, May use a facing next time, which would provide more structure/support for the collar fronts, but my fabric was not lightweight, so it came out fine.

    Loved this pattern, I found the collars easy, only I used the wrong interfacing, but that was my issue.
    I had to relocate the darts and other than that had no issues. Definitely a make again pattern!

    Just adore this top. It goes together very easily, it’s simple styling means it sits so very well. This top is one of my ‘go to’ tops, it can be whipped up quite quickly, if I decide I need a new top I can get this done in less than a day. I have made several of these now, to the point where my original paper pattern is very worn, tired, torn so I bought a PDF version! Nice to have it back. Thank you for the great work.

    On the darts I just copied from the pattern .The collar was hard for me.good thing i did a mock up!Still not sure about interfaced collar stand first piece on bottom or top on collar. But these patterns fit great May be she would do videos lnstead of drawings .For the tuff construction parts.Drawings need to be numbered .

    Won’t be making another. I feel the instructions were insufficient when constructing the darts. They don’t sit properly however there aren’t enough details on how to construct them. They look slightly gathered as one side is longer than the other. I am an experienced sewer and I’m definitely not happy with the finished product.

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.
