Suggested Fabrics

Primary Fabric: Use light-weight knit fabric with at least 50% stretch. If your knit fabric has more or less stretch, you may need to use a smaller or larger size. Jersey, sweater knit and double knit are great choices. Interfacing: Use light-weight knit or tricot fusible interfacing.

Notions

• Optional: 3/8“ (1 cm) snaps—10 for long bodice, 6 for regular bodice, 5 for short bodice
• 12" (30 cm) of 3/8" or 1/2" (1 cm or 1.25 cm)-wide straight fusible stay tape (or you may cut your own using light-weight woven fusible interfacing on the straight grain))

Choosing your Size

• Compare your bust circumference (fullest part) to the "Body Measurements" table, choose the size that best fits your bust. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your garment more fitted; otherwise, choose the bigger size.
• For the long, regular and short bodice length options, compare your waist circumference (narrowest part) to the "Body Measurements" table. Choose the size that best fits your waist. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your garment more fitted; otherwise, choose the bigger size. For the bolero bodice length, there is no need to choose a size for the waist.
• For the long and regular bodice length options, compare your hip circumference (widest part) to the "Body Measurements" table. Choose the size that fits your hip best.
If you are in between sizes, choose the smaller size. For the short and bolero bodice options, there is no need to choose a size for the hip.
• It’s OK to use different sizes. See instructions for details.
• If you are taller or shorter than 5’6” (168 cm), you should consider lengthening or shortening the top. See instructions for details.
• It is highly recommended that you check your fit by making a test garment with inexpensive fabric that has similar weight as your final garment fabric.
