How to choose your size
Determine if you should use the regular bust front pieces or the full-bust front piecesβsubtract the circumference of your over bust from the circumference of the fullest part of your bust. If the rounded difference is 3β³ (7.5 cm) or less, use regular bust; if it is more than 3" (7.5 cm), use full bust.
Compare your bust circumference (fullest part) to the βBody Measurementsβ table. Using the corresponding row for your bust (regular bust or full bust), choose the size that best fits your bust. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your garment more fitted; otherwise, choose the bigger size.
Compare your waist circumference (narrowest part) to the βBody Measurementsβ table. Choose the size that best fits your waist. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your garment more fitted; otherwise, choose the bigger size.
Compare your hip circumference (widest part) to the βBody Measurementsβ table. Choose the size that fits your hip best. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your garment more fitted; otherwise, choose the bigger size.
Itβs OK to use different sizes for the bust, waist and hip. The instructions for blending sizes are included in the pattern.
Jessica –
Love it, have made 4. This will be my standard top.
Sacha –
Very nice finish and really well fitted pattern. Looks very flattering
Cheryle –
I love the instructions ! Very clear!
Kadri –
Great square neck basic tee!
April –
I wear Tees nearly everyday and this one is very comfortable and has an elevated look.
Anonymous –
I love that it is both a raglan sleeve and a square neck – which is flattering to many body types.
Roberta –
Loved it! Iβve made 2 so far. Super easy pattern with great results.
Anonymous –
The pattern went together well. The fit isn’t quite right for me though, there’s a tightness across the back of the shoulders. Probably I should have sized up rather than down.
Signe –
This pattern is awesome! Your patterns are written very clearly. Also made the Melrose and will make others.
JEan –
Your patterns are always great. I never worry about directions or how they fit, even though I’m a larger size.
Kim –
Love this pattern and the square neckline. I have made 3 so far. Two with 3/4 sleeve and one short sleeve. Perfect fit . Very clear instructions
Debra –
I love it. Your patterns have very detailed, easy to understand, and wonderful pictures to help as well.
Liz –
Love this pattern, excellent instructions as usual. The square neck worked wonderfully and especially like the dart in the sleeves making the fit on the shoulders perfect.
Robyn –
Just the style I wanted to make. I am quite short and a lot of on-line patterns are too boxy and bulky for my hour glass shape. I love the accuracy of these patterns and find them to be very good value for money with superb instructions. They always make my sewing easy and satisfying.
Pirjo –
nice and practical
Ami –
Iβve already made three and loving it! Great drafting as always.
Loriann –
This top is adorable, comfortable, stylish and the directions are easy to understand. I just finished one and am cutting out two more!
Susan –
Love this pattern, always wanted a nice square neckline and now I have it.
Pat –
Great fit & easy to assemble pattern.
Diane –
I made one in a ponti and another in a cotton lycra and love both. Plan another in alpaca. Fit is great.
vΓ©ronique –
very good pattern thanks
Cilla –
This is a great pattern that gives a lovely neat square neck. I always find that sewn down facings look good on T shirts. As always ITS size 4 fits me well. Sleeves are always too long on me, but I had to shorten them by even more than normal this time, so check before you cut.
Mandy –
What a super pattern. The square neckline is so flattering. Easy to follow instructions. Love it!
sue –
Love it π
Lyn –
I have made two now, one short sleeved and one 3/4 . Both have perfect fit and came together easily with very clear, precise instructions. I love them both.
Peg –
As with each pattern from that I have purchased, it is very well written and makes even joining 2 sizes easy. All my projects have turned out well and look professional.
Thanks for chance to opinionate!
Peg
Mary Ann –
A nice basic to have in your closet.
Anonymous –
Liked the neckline and the overall fit was good. Will make again
Deborah –
I love this top. It fits perfectly!
Anonymous –
Love the pattern!
Patricia –
I will have to shorten the pattern in the future 1.5 inches, I am approx. 5ft 4 inches. I used my usual size and the fit is great! I can see this as a TNT pattern for me. Great Instructions, thanks Kennis!
