Link to Style Arc Juliet shirt pattern here
I made a test version using some inexpensive self stripe stretch cotton shirting and fortunately the rest of the pattern pieces had no problems. I made a size 10 with no alterations so can't really complain too much!
Despite my initial disappointment with the pattern there are some good things about it, other than the style;
- smaller seam allowances on the collar making it much easier to handle
- whole collar and stand is assembled as one unit before attaching to the shirt body
The back is supposed to be slightly longer than the front, but I didn't have enough fabric to do that. I also didn't think at all about making the stripe pattern symmetrical on the fronts, but I don't think it's that noticeable in an all white shirt.
I really haven't done a good job tying it here now I see the photos so I will pay attention to that when I wear it in real life. It would be better to have the tie nearer to the centre as shown in the line drawing.
Now I have confidence in the pattern I do plan to make it again although somewhat ironically I may extend the sleeve to full length which would mean shortening the cuff piece again!
That's frustrating to have an error in the printed pattern AND not receive a reply! I would lose motivation to continue too! I'm glad you picked it back up though, it's a unique shirt and looks very chic on you. StyleArc certainly has many goodies, I always think they're a bit underrated, perhaps it's more a marketing issue.
ReplyDeleteThe top is gorgeous and thank you for such a detailed post on this pattern!
ReplyDeleteIt's super cute and looks great on you! I was iffy on the pattern when it was released but really like yours.
ReplyDeleteI really like SA's designs and the patterns are typically very good. They have a LOT of errors like this though, which is frustrating.
The completed shirt is lovely!
ReplyDeleteI so love your taste, and although I'm not a drapey kinda girl myself, this is a very convincing design that is beautiful in pure white. I too recall the first time I found a mistake—in a Vogue blouse pattern twenty years ago. Until that moment, I'd had complete faith in these companies! So naive! I'm using mostly Burda now and haven't had any problems apart from the ridiculous instructions.
ReplyDeleteI have had the PDF of this top printed out and taped together for ages. Will get to it someday. I think the softer drapey fabric you used is a better choice than the stiffer shirting fabrics some sewers have used. It is a lovely take on the classic white blouse.
ReplyDeleteyou have great taste in patterns!
ReplyDeleteI think this could be a winner . I like Style Arc patterns alot . They did have IT problems last year and they seem to be fine now so give them another chance . I haven't had any failures with their patterns although some of the patterns just didn't suit me but that is more a matter of choosing appropriate patterns.
ReplyDeleteFabulous white shirt! You can never have too many of those in your closet.
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful on you! Great white blouse
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous blouse and the tie just takes it up a notch. How frustrating that Style Arc haven't responded to you.
ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteI saw your shirt on Instagram the other day and thought to myself, "I need that pattern." Because your shirt is so cute. I want one too. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe shirt looks so good on you! I love the twist detail.
ReplyDeleteLovely shirt!
ReplyDeleteI just googled this as I am sewing it right now and wanted to hear a real review. I am going to double check my cuff!
Thank you!
