C********D (verified owner) – September 18, 2026:

This was easy to make and when you need them the instructions are clear, but again the sizing is overly generous – I made it smaller than my usual size and there was still way too much ease so it’s kind of shapeless. Fortunately I made a wearable muslin before risking any special fabric as I decided that the design wasn’t for me. That said, it’s a good pattern, it’s well drafted and written (hence the 4 stars) and if you want a fairly loose fitting shirt dress or blouse then it’s fine, but the end result for me is just a bit meh. It seems like the designs aren’t as flattering or appealing as they used to be and are skewing towards a more shapeless end result which is a pity.
- Style Arc – September 21, 2026:

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.
