How to Measure Your Bust

Wear a well-fitting bra.
Wrap a measuring tape around the fullest part of your bust.
Keep the tape level across your back and comfortably snug, without pulling it tight.
Record your measurement in inches or centimetres and compare it with our size chart.

For the best fit, always choose your pattern size based on your body measurements, not your usual shop size. Always check your bust measurement before ordering!

This was a tricky make as I had to make the pattern bigger but came out ready well. Perfect for a masquerade ball

Again, a pattern I asked to be converted in PDF. it is huge! I am so looking forward. The sellers were really nice and kept in touch when they realised it would take more time than expected. I am very happy

Edit: the front part was a little tricky, but the scalloped back part was incredibly easy to make. I woud have thought the other way around. It was really nice to learn this new technique. Thank you!

I love this beautiful pattern.

loved it !! easy to follow !

I was expecting a pattern to be delivered by post

faire attention avec les tailles françaises surtout niveau poitrine, service client très efficace pour les renseignements

Easy to understand and instructions were provided

This is such a pretty dress, however, as a beginner, it's a little hard to understand the instructions, but you get the hang of it eventually:(
