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 🥰
Z
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!
W
Very well drafted pattern. No gaping, no sliding off boobs throughout the day. I've made 1 one for me and 2 for others so far. Have 1 more for me and another selfless currently on the cutting room table.
m
I have now made 2 dartmouth tops 3rd and 4th have been cut so also in the making fantastic pattern which is very nice and easy to sew together all signs are adhered to and it fits perfectly
I did sew tricot ribbing to the hem of the blue top so that it stays in place nicely on the hips, also added tricot cuffs
R
So happy to have found patterns that accommodate curvier girls! Made this too and it’s perfect as I’m currently pregnant and will also be amazing for breastfeeding!
R
Just love this pattern, super easy to sew, instructions were clear and it fits lovely. I can see myself making a ton of these...fabulous top for work. First pattern bought but I will be definitely buying more!
V
I love the fit right out of the envelope! t
The directions are very easy to follow. I don't normally bother with notches, but I'm glad I did on this one. I made the version with no ruching, but Im glad that the ruching is only in the outer piece (less bulk)
I really like that there is a grid on the pattern pieces as well (to make any pattern adjustments easier)
I would have liked there to be layers and a chart for what pages to print for different pieces/versions.
This was my first time trying Cashmerette , but it won't be my last (i.e. the hype is totally deserved)
N
My second dartmouth top this time with 3/4 length sleeves vey flattering for my big tummy hides it well
E
Truly I never expected to find patterns that fitted without huge alterations and headaches. I’m now on my third make and loving it !
P
Pattern was easy to follow and sew but for a short (5’3”) full busted woman(36F), it is not an attractive blouse.
D
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!
H
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
K
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.
C
This wonderful top is the best fitting top in my wardrobe. I made already five of them and
received lots of compliments.
M
I just finished this top-- it is my first Cashmerette pattern; I had intended to start with the basic tank but the lure of making a surplice top that might actually fit got the better of me. I assuaged my conscience with the thought that if it didn't work out, I'd go back and begin slowly and soberly with the tank and work back up to this one. Well, it worked!! It was super easy and fits perfectly on the first try ( yes, I followed all the fitting advice to the letter!). My "toile" is going into my wardrobe. I'd send a photo but my husband refuses to take one, saying he "doesn't want sexy photos of me plastered all over the internet.". Thank you all so much!

I absolutely love the Dartmouth top pattern! I have made four so far for summer and will soon be making long sleeve versions for the cooler months. Great fit!
J
Perfect fit and style. Quick sewing project. Directions were clearly written. A new wardrobe basic for me!
T
The Dartmouth Top was only the 2nd knit garment I've sewn. The pattern was well drafted, all the pattern pieces sewed together easily. I followed the instructions and the neckband attached easily.
N
This was an easy pattern to follow. My first time sewing stretch fabric. Pleased with result
D
Great pattern. Looks nice. Fits well
S
This pattern has given variable results for me depending on the fabric. I've made three so far. Thick jersey with some spandex: fits fine. Viscose micro-rib: completely unwearable, too big. Thin viscose-blend jersey with some spandex: a little too big, wearable only with an undershirt. Anyway, when it works it looks great, and the pattern goes together well. Like many knit patterns it's just not very adaptable to different fabrics.

As I live in the country I had to buy my fabric on line so it was hard to test the stretch of the fabric. The first top I made went together really well. The instructions were clear and I had no trouble making the top BUT the stretch of the fabric was not what the pattern said so it was way too small. Not wanting to give up I ordered more fabric and the second one I made fitted me perfectly. A lesson learnt on buying the fabric with the correct stretch. Will definitely make another one or two.
J
I was introduced to pdf pattern 4 months ago. Every cashmerette pattern I have made according to my measurement have been brilliant. Given me so much confidence. Thank you xx
V
I have made the top several times for my daughter with plans to make several more. She is nursing her wee baby and it is perfect for this need. Thank you for the great sizing options because there is not much out there for buxom bodies.
You have helped me tremendously with my sewing skills and renewed the joy of creating something that fits!
M
No one (even my sewing friends) could believe I made the shirt myself! I did the ruched sides and while it was a little fiddly putting in the elastic, the finished look was totally worth it! The neckband adds the perfect professional touch. The first attempt fit me perfectly without alterations, although I used a very stretchy jersey. I can't wait to make another one!
E
This is THE most flattering pattern I have ever sewn. I just finished my first one and am already planning more. The instructions were easy to follow and the pattern went together like a dream. My only caution is to check the sleeve lengths before cutting. I have long arms and what should have been a 3/4 sleeve stopped at my elbow. I'm looking forward to making more of this top and using hacking it into a dress.
