How to choose your size
- Determine your cup size—subtract the circumference of your over bust from the circumference of the fullest part of your bust. If the rounded difference is 1″ (2.5 cm), use A cup; 2″ (5 cm), use B cup; 3″ (7.5 cm), use C cup; 4″ (10 cm), use D cup; 5″ (12.5 cm), use DD cup.
- After determining the cup size, compare your bust circumference (fullest part) to the “Body Measurements” table. Using the corresponding row for your cup, 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 “Body Measurements” 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 “Body Measurements” 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.
- It’s OK to use different sizes for the bust, waist and hip. The instructions for blending sizes are included in the pattern.
- If you are taller or shorter than 5’6” (168 cm), you should consider lengthening or shortening the garment. The instructions for lengthening or shortening are included in the pattern.

I have found this pattern easy to sew and the directions are clear. Full disclosure, I’m only halfway through the project at the moment. I’m very hopeful that it will be a go-to whenever I need a new blouse.

I was looking for a princess seam shirt pattern. Finally found it in this beautiful design. It’s an easy shirt to make with clear instructions. Highly recommended.

This is an absolutely beautiful pattern that is well fitting and just very easy to sew. I have really enjoyed making this pattern.

A little confusing with drawings at times with the collar and stand
Elizaeth –
Sizing was spot on and the instructions comprehensive. The shirt fits beautifully, and the sleeve length is just right!
I also love the pdf file with layers, avoids confusion between sizes. It’s so easy to put together – especially with the cover sheet showing the layout of the pieces.

Wow!!! I made it using a white cotton fabric and it turned out nice and I’m a beginner at sewing. The first shirt I’ve ever made. I’ve only made two simple summer dresses recently. The only change I made to give myself a bit more ease room was to sew a smaller SA on the two sides. Next time I will make it a size up. I love the slim fitting design. It’s a classic dress shirt I will make over and over again in various colors/fabrics. I can’t believe that as a beginner, using the pattern’s instructions (and watching some Lifting Pins and Needles YouTube videos), I was able to sew a standing collar, collar, set in sleeves, sleeve placket, sleeve cuffs, back yoke, buttonholes, hemming a curved hem and body hugging princess seams. The pattern and instructions were that good. I bought Itch to Stitch’s Acari trench coat. I will make that in the near future (a toile first). It’ll be a challenge for me, I’ll learn lots and it’ll be loads of fun. I read lots of good reviews about Itch to Stitch’s patterns so I figured I’ll learn lots from using Kennis’ patterns/instructions.
