My First Experience with Style Arc Patterns | Thoughts & Reviews

This is a long one so grab a drink and buckle up for a ride through my first experiences sewing Style Arc patterns. I’ve also included chapters so that you can skip to any parts of the video that you’re more interested in.

I sewed the Francesca Woven Top and the Nova Midi Dress, both in a size 16. My measurements are listed below ⬇️

My measurements-
Shoulder: 16.25”
Bicep: 13.25”
Upper bust: 40.5”
Full bust: 42.5”
Waist: 35.5”
Hips: 48”

Francesca pattern modifications: raised V by 1.5”, shortened neck ruffle by 1” below the shoulder marking, shortened sleeve by 1” above the elbow dart and 0.5” below the dart, graded the sleeve to a 14 at the cuff, lowered the back fish eye darts by 0.75” and widened them by 0.5”

I made no alterations to the Nova pattern.
