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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
