We recommend choosing the size that best fits your chest, bust, waist and hip measurements. We have also provided the chest measurement on the body measurement chart. Additionally, we have provided a finished garment measurement chart so you can see what the intended ease is and if you would like more or less. For this design the bust, waist and hip measurements are the same. We have also included. the front and back yoke finished garment widths so you can better assess your correct size.
The Clementine dress & blouse was originally made for a height of 164 cms and a B-cup bust. Consider this when making your own. There is more information provided in the instruction booklet regarding choosing your size and adjustments.
Fabric: We suggest using a lightweight woven fabric that has a drape to it. Medium weight fabrics will work too as long as they are on the lighter side and so long as they have a nice drape to them.
You may also like to reinforce the facing down the centre front where the botton and loops are with an interfacing depending on your fabric choice.
The fabric yield, bias binding requirements and tools and supplies list are supplied below.
Our aim is to make all our patterns simple and understandable enough for even beginners to use. To do this we provide step by step instructions and try to break down the process and hold your hand through it. Due to this, the testing call is open to all levels of sewing and we greatly appreciate feedback on how well the instructions guided you.
We rate the pattern itself as an adventurous beginner pattern. It includes french seams, gathering, the application of bias binding (View C & D). Overall it is a simple sew!
