It’s tricky to pick a size for a knit tee based on the fit of a woven jacket. I’d suggest that you might be happiest by comparing the measurements of a tee you already own and like–that way you’ll be more assured to get a fit that makes you happy.

The Terrace is a loose fitting dress, and in general I would say that drapey fabrics are most suitable for it. Linen and rayon are great options. Lawn would work although it’s not very drapey. It’s lightweight enough to be ok. Broadcloth would probably be a bit heavy, I think.

I’ve sewn that placket in micro cord and didn’t find it to be bulky at all, but if you’re concerned you could always choose a contrast lightweight fabric. Either one should be fine!

Hi!
I am planning to try out the Saint-germain wrap dress this spring, but I am stuck with which size to choose as a starting point for my muslin. The main concern is the size for the top. My measurments are High-bust: 38,5, Bust: 42,7, Waist: 36,5, Hips: 44.
I am thinking I should choose a size 12 and the D-cup. But in the finished measurements…[Read more] -

Emily Heinz replied to the topic Building Block Dress Placket in the forum oliver + s: building block dress 2 years ago
Hi, I’m making the basic version of the BB dress for the first time, trying to follow instructions exactly as written without any variations. I have a question about how bulky the skirt placket is. I’m making the dress in a micro-wale corduroy (needlecord maybe?). Would the skirt placket in the corduroy be too bulky? Is this a good place to use a…[Read more]

1. Would lawn or broadcloth be better for the Terrace? Or, maybe, there is something entirely different that I should consider?
2. I’m trying to hide a large belly. Would the Terrace be flattering?

If size 18 D-cup in the yanaka jacket fits very well with no alterations, should I choose XL D-cup or XXL D-cup for the Easton Cowl Tee?
I plan to use a lightweight jersey (about 50% stretch both ways) of cotton/bamboo/lycra blend.
Thanks!

That’s entirely your call! I think it’s nice to have something interesting at front and back but you get to be the designer here…
