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.

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!

Brilliant!

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.

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
