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!

1960s Pattern, Men's Nehru Jacket, Beatles, Guru Shirt - Multi-sizes
Customer service was amazing. My shipment arrived 3weeks late, maybe due to Covid. I did buy the pdf pattern which I do not recommend for a beginner sewer. The edges are not copied straight and it is impossible for me to cut the pattern pieces because none of the lines are accurate.However, after talking with customer service they issued me a refund and I purchased the original pattern.
Never received my item . Received my refund
So excited to find this pattern....great shape. Cannot wait to make it. Will be sewing this up for my hubby in the next few months and will post a picture.
Thanks for the great find!
