Frequently Asked Questions

Such a versatile top

Made this top on the recommendation of others, and am now wondering why I hadn’t made this sooner! It’s so comfortable, and can be worn for casual or a smarter occasion. I made the ruched front as a I am a pear shape with a bit of a tummy and it’s a little more flattering. Can see more of these being made for the autumn 🥰

not my style

Pattern was easy to follow and sew but for a short (5’3”) full busted woman(36F), it is not an attractive blouse.

Amazing!

I love this pattern! Have made it a few times now and get lots of compliments every time I wear one of the makes.
It’s a flattering shape, fits perfectly over my H cup bust without gapage, is easy to put together and quick to make.
I’d give this ten stars if I could!

I always wanted to wear this style shirt without my chest hanging out! This is awesome!

This pattern is amazing. I’ve made three. I love how this cut allows enough room for my chest without sacrificing showing too much skin. Super flattering style and the most comfortable shirt

The kind of top big boobs were made for!

This top looks absolutely cracking on big boobs! It was super easy to sew up and the fit was spot on straight out of the packet. Really pleased and thinking of hacking into a dress with the Cashmerette club Gilmore skirt next. Fabulous pattern quality as usual.

Fab

Not only straight forward to make but also fits - hurrah! I even managed to grade between sizes successfully thanks to the cashmerette online guide. I will be making a few more now!
