Wore it to a wedding and felt completely confident

I wore the Piper to a summer wedding and felt very confident in it. It stayed in place all day, the neckline did not move, and several people asked about the top specifically. Knowing you made what you are wearing is a special feeling in that context.

J
Jakoba P.
Boning length needed trimming — not a pattern issue

The boning I bought was the wrong length and I had to cut it down myself. That is a sourcing issue on my part, not a pattern problem. Once sorted the channels accommodated the boning perfectly and everything sat correctly.

H
Halvate G.
More structured than anything on the high street at this price

The construction is genuinely better than ready-to-wear bustier tops I have bought. The boning is properly capped, the seams are clean inside, and the fit is exact. None of those things are true of the fast-fashion versions.

O
Odellina O.
Second version in a stripe and it is even better

My first version was a plain fabric to test the fit. Second version is a bold horizontal stripe and I matched the stripes across the seams. The pattern pieces made matching possible because of the clear grain lines. It looks incredible.

C
Calara P.
Made it as a special occasion gift

My friend had a significant birthday and I made her the Piper in a deep burgundy cotton sateen. She wore it to her party and it fit her perfectly because I used her exact measurements when cutting. She has not stopped talking about it.

For example, prefer the size based on your bust measurement for making a top, and waist measurement for a relaxed dress cinched at the waist. 
If your measurements fall between sizes, consider the fit you prefer (looser or tighter) and the type of fabric you'll use, as some fabrics have more give. All patterns include finished garment measurements which can be helpful to know how much ease or extra room is built into the design.
