It looks stunning on you! May I give you a tip: Take some measurements from you toile and you have a base to compare with on every new pattern you want to make ( regarding size choice)
The important measurements: for me would be.
Length (These measurement does not change int terms of ease)
- from the Shoulder-line (neck point and middle of shoulder seam) down to your bustpoints and the than
- down to your waist.
(defines the Horizontal Position of bustpoint and your waist) Theses measurements change only, if you are wearing different typs of bras.
Width
- distance between your bustpoints, (defines a vertical LINE where YOUR bustpoint is located on every pattern
- Bust Circumference for the front and for the back separately (this makes cup sizing problems obvious).
- across your bust half way of the armhole (interesting for forward shoulder/"collapsing" breast issues
These measurements should help you getting the right size for tops and dresses so much easier and you can use it for any patterncompany
⚠This is meant as a helping hint not as a "teachers advise" if you know what I mean and might be helpful for other too..
Love this, I have screen shot it all so I can refer back to it another time.
Thanks so much for taking the time to share 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you Angela, really useful video, with the adjustments you’ve made.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you 😊 ❤️
That is by far the best Esti set I’ve seen so far. You look amazing! Worth the effort ❤
Thanks so much 😊🥰🥰🥰
Great outfit, it looks lovely on you.🍓🧶🌈💙
Thank you so much 😀
Both you and Karen’s Esti’s look beautiful. Thanks for sharing 🤓🏴
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you 😊
The Esti looks great on you well done for the adjustment part very interesting and Karen's looks great too xx
Thanks so much! 😊
Rock on chica! Looking fabulous 🤩.... and yes I hadnt noticed rhe black strap until you said 😂. Thanks so kuch for collabing with me, really enjoyed it and nowni want to try rhe Esti trousers too for my next set xx
Yay give them a go. Thanks lovely. I’ve really enjoyed it too 🥰
Great video, bookmarked for later. Thinking of getting this using her discount code just released.
Oh yay. Hope you enjoy making it 😊
Gorgeous Esti🎉🎉 it suits you so much. Worth the work as you have a lovely set x
Thanks so much 😊
Thank you for sharing….you both looked fab x
Thanks so much! 😊
I think your set is lovely but that’s a lot of fiddling to get it right. I never did intend to buy this pattern as the Safira trousers work for me and they are so similar. I’ve finished my coord set with New look 6217 top and it’s worked out well although I don’t like the pockets so won’t bother another time. I may put a different style pocket in another pair. I’m about to pack my set for Tenerife with my whole family tomorrow. I think toiling is great but rarely can be bothered. I applaud your efforts👏🏻👏🏻😃
It was a lot of faffing you’re right and if I wasn’t doing a collaboration I might not have persevered, but I am so glad I did 😊
Really glad your co ord set worked out well.
Totally agree toiling is not fun 🙈😂
Thank you 😊
Hi Angela, Thank you so much for all the tips and alterations you made to the Esti top. I found I needed them all to make mine work as well ie higher dart placement, moving the strap. Your set is gorgeous! and what motivated me to buy the pattern. I love watching your very informative videos and seeing a small slice of life in your beautiful part of the world. Your daughter too is a credit to you. Shaun x (shaun._gl)
You are so welcome! And that is so incredibly kind of you - thank you 😊 🥰
Your Esti looks lovely! 🖤🤍
Thank you!! 🥰
Your esti is really lovely Angela. 😊
Thank you! 😊
Thanks Angela! I'm using the Lutterloh System and the bust dart bit has helped immensely. X
I had a little look at that system as I’ve never heard of it before your comment, what an interesting way to construct patterns.
Thank you 😊
Yes, I love connecting the dots but I had to do a fba so I used the high bust measurement for half of the armscye (?) and then the full bust for the rest. Just like the pivot and slide method I've just discovered for fbas.😊
I’ve been sitting on the fence in regards to getting this pattern, probably due to the issues regarding fit. After your excellent tutorial about adjusting the top to fit, and your beautiful result, I’m more likely to get it now. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! I really hope you enjoy making it. Thank you 😊
Haya. I just watched Karen's lovely video & now your lovely video 🤩The Esti looks great on you, go you for persevering with your mock ups, well worth the extra work, the fabric is wonderful 😍Thanku 'sew' much for sharing 🪡✂🧵🙂xx
Hey lovely. Thank you, it was a bit of a pain, but like you say worth it, I’m so pleased with how it’s turned out 😊
I love Karen’s version too 🥰
@@DevonThreadTales 💙💙
Love your outfit, both of you look lovely. I’m going to give the Esti a go but like you I’m going to toile it first. Please share when you have made the black set. Pam x
Thanks Pam. Go for it, hope you like it, and thank you 😊
Will defo share 🥰
This is going to be such a versatile outfit! It looks awesome on you as well as Karen! Great job figuring out how to get the top to fit you properly!
Thank you so much! 🥰
This is excellent. Its’s so good to see the alterations and you explained so clearly. What a gorgeous set you’ve made. I wasn’t at all interested in this pattern before but your version nearly convinced me. It does seem like a lot of fiddling to a pattern that surely should have been tested a bit better before release?
Thank you so much! Yes I agree, it is a shame I just hope people can have a go and adjust it easy enough for themselves as the results are lovely 😊.
Thank you 🥰
What a beautiful version! It looks stunning together and I also thought the top looked fab with jeans in your other vlog.
Thank you so much 🥰
I love the esti and yours is stunning, I had to do the same adjustment as you to stop the gaping, I’ve also made a black version to mix and match, I literally finished it yesterday to travel in tomorrow thankyou for sharing x
Aaahh great minds think alike 😉. Have a wonderful time away 🥰
🇨🇦😃
🥰🥰🥰
Beautiful set you have made, you look great in it. But I can't help but think that ithe pattern is poorly drafted with all that surplus at the top front and all the alterations that you had to do to get it to fit - it should be a simple top after all. I have narrow shoulders so it won't be for me. Glad the trousers were straightforward!
I know it’s a bit of a shame. Thank you 😊
Your outfit looks great! May I suggest a thin black belt to define the waist?
Thank you 😊 yes good idea 👍🏼
Looks fabulous, worth taking the time to make the pattern fit, best one I’ve seen, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Thanks so much 😊
