Bespoke is a design that has all my favorite elements: sleeveless, tunic length, pockets, chunky weight, collar and it is black! This design comes with integrated pockets which are worked at the same time as the tunic, requiring minimal finishing. A simple pocketless version is also included in the pattern to make it approachable even for beginners. This pattern comes with step-by-step photos, video tutorials and tips on how to lengthen/shorten this design to make it uniquely yours.

Bespoke is graded with inclusive sizing in mind, designed to fit actual bust sizes from 76 cm / 30 inches to 168 cm / 66 inches.

Measurements are given in both inches and cm.

Finished Measurements

Bust circumference: 103 (112.5, 123, 130.5, 141.5) {152.5, 163, 174, 181.5, 192.5} cm / 40.5 (44.25, 48.5 , 51.25, 55.25) {60, 64.25, 68.5, 71.5, 75.75} inches

How to choose your size: Measure a jacket in a similar style in your closet or add the amount of desired ease to your actual bust measurement, pick a size closest to that number. For example, if you want 26 cm / 10.25 inches of positive ease and your bust measurement is 99 cm / 39 inches, you should pick size 3. For between sizes, choose the smaller size.
