I am amazed. Using the measurements on the pattern and the pattern fitter on the website I made my size grading between sizes. The very first shirt fits so nicely! No pulling, no wrinkling, no dart! Fabulously drafted and fabulous fit.

Brilliant staple in the wardrobe
When you find the perfect pattern…..
What I love mostly about this pattern is there are no horizontal stretch lines across my G/H bust!
I hacked it by changing the neckline so I could have a turtleneck. Made in ITY.

I wanted to love the Concord but...sadly it's not my type
The Concord pattern is great but I did not find the finished measurement on my old version and as per the photos, I assumed it was fitted but with a little ease all over. I made it to my measurements 16-20-16 G/H. I did all the correct lengthwise adjustments for me (+3.5" for correct bust apex, and -3" at hips to correct length. I have a long torso). Results, the shoulders fits OK, the bust is a little tight, the mid section is way too tight and the hips are OK but could be a little loser (my hips fell into the size 14 but I made size 16 anyway, hum!). The arms are too small by a tad. I should have measured my pattern before cutting and I should have chosen a more elastic fabric than cotton spandex. Lesson learned but I doubt I will make it again. I think I suit a more A-line type of tee-shirts. BTW, the pattern is great, the instructions are easy to follow and support is excellent. It's just not my style, but an excellent pattern nonetheless.

Great essential top
It took me four tries to get the perfect fit, but I got there! I love this for a basic tee that fits me perfectly. I had to do an FBA, full bicep adjustment, and remove a little bit of length. Al in all, it turned out to be the perfect fit and is now one of my favorite essential tops.

Didn't work for my shape
I found this patter had great instructions but it didnt work for my shape. I have a larger bust but am a straighter shape through the waist and hips. I also found the nexklines way to wide for me

Best T-shirt pattern ever
I recently purchased the concord T-shirt pattern and have already made three of them. It fits so well and is easy to sew. I used size 16 c/d bust graded to 22 hip. Did a full bum adj for a little more booty room and added 2 inches to length as I like my t shirts longer . Now I have the shirt that makes me the most comfortable. I highly recommend this and all Cashmerette patterns. Cashmerette has made sewing fun again!
