Check out the product pictures for the Sizing Chart and make sure to check out my Sizing Guide for some additional tips on how to chose the right size and ensure the best garment fit for your project.

Use your closest Bust measurement to determine the base size. You can always adjust the fit by grading between sizes if your measurements span across one or more sizes on the chart. This will, of course, be explained in detail in the sewing step-by-step!

This garment was designed and then graded based on a size D, with a height of 172cm (5’6″) and B/C Cup.

Confident Beginner

With this pattern, and thanks to the in-depth explanations in the instructions booklet, you will learn to master the following techniques:

working with stretch fabric
applying self bias binding from knit fabric
sewing a mock neck collar
hemming knits using a zig-zag stitch or twin needle

I consider this project to suitable for Confident Beginners eager to learn how to work with stretch fabric. While those with a coverlock or coverstitch machine will find it especially smooth to navigate, beginners can easily sew this up it using a regular sewing machine with a zigzag stitch or twin needle.
