Three different pattern sizes are simulated on the same size avatar, arranged in fabrics to mimic the envelope art. Avatar is a European size 38, approximately US size 8, Vogue size 12 by bust measurement. The pattern is a simple drop shoulder pattern with draped bias front. There’s an optional sleeve with a tuck closed with buttons at the wrist for a cuff effect.
The size six is probably perfectly comfortable and wearable, but maybe a little too short in the body to be suitable, and likely catches on the hip too much.The ten is maybe a more contemporary fit, that could work tucked or untucked. Probably what I’m imagining when I look at the envelope, even though it’s not as full as the illustration.This is the size that corresponds to the avatar bust measurement. The fit looks a little sloppy, but as a tucked shirt this probably is the size that would give the fullness shown on the pattern envelope.Pattern image. The front is cut on the bias, tucks at each shoulder establish the collar and set up the drape.Size 14.Graded nest, re-stacked so that neck and shoulders coincide. A standard bust grade 1″ in the smallest size, 1.5″ size 10-12, 2″ size 12-14 (and likely thereafter but not this envelope).
