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 pattern was very easy to follow and turned out very cute, HOWEVER it runs really big and I definitely suggest you make a mock up before you go in with your final fabric! I have to take several inches out all around.

This pattern is super fun! I made it cropped so it is just a top. My main issue was that I am a true 36” bust and this pattern left awkward gapping all around the top hem, but I just brought in the two side seams to fix this (took in ~ four inches at the top edge). Definitely recommend if you are looking for a summery fitted tank top to sew in a cotton/woven textile!

Lovely pattern, easy to modify for fit

Haven’t used the pattern yet but instructions look good.

Thank you can not wait to try making a few items from this pattern.
