After having kids, I struggled finding clothes that would fit me, so I started making my own clothes. Unfortunately the large difference between my high bust and full bust meant I always had to do FBAs (that’s if I even did them correctly). I have tried probably 5 different t-shirt patterns but just couldn’t get it right, until the Concord!! It fits so well with little adjustment I could cry tears of joy! I officially decided that Cashmerette is my favorite pattern company because it just fits me right with minimal adjustment.

Here are my measurements: HB-37, FB-42.5, W-34, Hips-42.5. I made a size 12 graded to size 14 at the waist. The brown shirt I graded back to a 12 at the hips and the cropped shirt I stuck wiith 14 at the waist and hem. I’m 5’6” and added 1 inch to the crop length. Next time I may add 2-3 inches. I like a slightly longer crop. The brown shirt is the scoop neck with the mid length hem and the maroon shirt is the high neck.

I also decided to do a fold over hem on the sleeves rather than the band. I added 2” to the sleeve on the brown version and only 1 inch to the sleeve on the maroon version. I used a 1’ hem on both versions.

I just made the Concord Tee this weekend it was a very enjoyable sew. I used my projector to cut out the pattern so I did not use any paper.

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 love the Concord T. I have made 4 so far. I've tried all the combinations from short and longer sleeves, short, hip, and tunic length, and they all fit great. I love the assistance from the website - you can enter your measurements and it will calculate which size(s) will fit you. There is also a great blog article on the best way to grade their patterns. The instructions are very clear and easy to follow with great illustrations. I also like how I can print only the size(s) needed from the PDF pattern, which makes it much easier to cutout and follow (no having to trace the cutting lines with a marker to tell where to cut!) All in all, I love the Concord-T and highly recommend it and Cashmerette Patterns!

I made this first a few years back and was so pleased with it that I made a couple of dozen! Years went by and gradually my concords sustained shrinkage and wear and so it was time to restock. I joined the cashmerette club this year and have been avidly watching the fitting masterclasses and so decided to use my learning to refit the pattern for my current body shape. I graded a smaller size for neck and shoulder and scooped out the back neck and easily had a well fitting pattern. It worked out so well that I went stash diving and have started making all my short jersey lengths into concords! Highly recommended 👏👏👏this pattern rocks for big boobs and I live in these beauties with jeans or calders (also an awesome pattern!)

I'm delighted with the new Concorde Tee. I'm a 10GH according to the Fit Calculator and the fit is superb. My previous versions were were 12Ds and too loose across the shoulders. I thought the pattern was not right for my body. But it was the fit, not my body. Thank you for expanding the sizes to improve fit !

Great way to cut, never used a PDF pattern. I will from now on! Will definitely be using more of their patterns. My first shirt ever’

I can't thank you enough for this pattern. My daughter is plus size and this is the first pattern that fits her. I used your size recommendation and graded as suggested and it's a perfect fit. I've made 6 short sleeve and she's bought fabric for 5 long sleeve for winter. They are super easy to make too.

Fits very well. My measurements are 49-39-50 with bra size 36HH. I made a size 20 and it fits perfectly without any adjustments. For pictured sleeves I just added 5 inches to the sleeve width and shirred the sleeve edge with 1/8 inch elastic. The excess I gathered into the top of the armhole.

I was looking for a standard fitted T-shirt that would accommodate bosoms without having to do the maths. If you have curves, buy the pattern. This is brilliant! I used the size calculator to work out what size I needed ( another stroke of genius) it hit the nail on the head. No alteration needed. I will come back to this pattern for all of my fitted T-shirts from now on. I even blogged it! www.thefabricwrangler.co.uk

If you are looking for the perfect t-shirt pattern, this is it. The fit is spot on, it's comfortable, the directions are fabulous, and the neckline and length options mean that you can make this for any occasion. Cannot recommend enough!

Wow! I love this pattern... I cut a size 14 g/h and made zero alterations which never happens! Thought for sure it was going to be too small when I was sewing it up but it fits perfectly. I'm so used to buying RTW tees that are way too big to accomodate my bust so it's fantastic finding this easy to make pattern with lots of design options! :)

This shirt slays and conquers! What a wardrobe staple. It can be casual or dressed up with the right accessories and fabric. I am in love. I made my first Concord a couple of days ago and used the Cashmerette sizing calculator. I have to admit the first muslin I made didn’t work very well. It was my error. I carefully remeasured (watching Jenny’s tutorial) and realized I had measured incorrectly. Correct measurements and I’m here for the win. I wear a 44DDD in Wacoal bras. And I’m 5’2” and apple shaped. Here I am in my 20gh with a 1” FBA, sway back adjusted, shoulder seams lengthened by 1.5”, neck curve redrawn, and sleeves shortened by 1” Concord! TaDa!!! Never ever have I had a t-shirt fit so well. Thank you Cashmerette! The next one will get an additional 0.5” FBA 😊. I wore it all day on the farm and running errands and by golly it can go from feeding chickens to picking up groceries in town. Planning my next one already!

I gained weight and was depressed until I made this shirt. Perfect fit instantly. It was so easy to customize into a tunic. I need more!

I love how this shirt turned out. I’ve made two so far. Mickey Mouse was my prototype. On the dark gray shirt I took two small darts at the arm hole to smooth it out over the bust. I’m very happy with the results, and look forward to making many more of these.

This fitted tee-shirt pattern is a winner! This pattern easy and quick to make and I feel great wearing it! Although I'm a beginner on sewing knits, I followed Jenny's excellent instructions and managed a perfect vee-neck. Depending on the fabric, I can see this working as an elegant work top or fun tee-shirt for the beach or a barbecue.

I recently got the printed version of this pattern and just finished the first make with it. I like the versatility of the pattern.
But I also goofed in cutting a V-neck front when I originally wanted a scoop neck. Ah well user error.
Again the instructions are very clear and easy. (the only thing I saw while working with the v-neck was
when making the point of the "V", do you point the raw edges inward or outward...the instructions didn't say.
Incidentally it was outward)

I admit I don't particularly like making muslins...I have a tendency to just jump right in knowing the first make
is probably going to need adjustment. The one I chose seems right for my measurements, although it fits snug.
I personally am not a big fan of tight-fitting T-shirts. So next time I'll know to grade up a bit so it's looser around
the waist and hips. On the upside, NO FBA! YEAH!

I did find while tracing out my size that trying to follow the lines for your particular size particularly around the neck
and shoulders can be a bit of a hot mess. Highlighting the line you want to follow works.

All in all, great pattern.

I made the Concord shirt, along with some Belmont leggings, as my first me-made outfit. I had never sewn garments or with a pattern before. The Concord pattern has so many different options for sleeve length, neckbands, and hem length, that this may be the only t-shirt pattern I ever need! I chose to go with short sleeves, the scoop neck, and the curved hem length. For a beginner, it was imperative that I trace which pattern lines I wanted to follow, because with so many options, it would have been easy to get confused. I really struggled attaching the neckband, but I really believe that can be chalked up to me being a beginner. I was able to hide a bit of my mistake at the back of the neckband, and I don't think it's really noticeable to anyone except me.
Overall the instructions were clear and easy to follow, and I'm already excited about what other versions of this shirt I can make!
