Finding your size: 

Ettle is a trapeze style which swings out from the chest, therefore we would recommend picking your size based on the full chest/bust measurement on the size chart. Measure your chest, under the armpits and around the fullest part of the chest. Measure your height by standing up straight with feet flat on the floor and back against the wall. Measure from the floor to the top of the head.

Double check the finished garment measurements chart, which gives you the length of the dress and top. There are lengthen/shorten lines on the pattern that allow you to adjust the length for a perfect fit. Click here for a tutorial on how to lengthen and shorten patterns.

Fabric requirements: 

Recommended fabric: 

Ettle is designed for woven fabrics. We would recommend a cotton. Cotton lawn, cotton poplin, quilting cotton or denim chambray are ideal choices. Any light to medium weight woven is suitable. If you choose a heavier fabric like a mid-weight  denim or needlecord you will get a more structured look.
