I read a lot of comments asking for a larger size and never saw an answer, so I tried. As shown, this is a “one size fits all” garment, which doesn’t work for taller/heavier people. American here, but I’ll also include metric - I am 5’10” (177cm), 190 lbs (86kg) with a 43” (109cm) bust, 36” (91cm) waist, and 44”(112cm) hips. In American sizes I’m generally a size 14 or XL, but those vary depending on manufacture and the cut of the garment. When I make clothes, I add length to the bodice for both my height and my bust of a bodice to actually sit where it’s supposed to, even when the pattern is already for my “size” - as sizes usually care more about your roundness than your height, sizing up for me just creates a different set of problems. Here’s what I did: I sought to make my top 2” (5cm) longer and 1” (2.5cm) wider, and since I was using inches, I made my original cut of fabric 42”x40” (100cmx95cm). I cut the neck hole at 3.5” (8cm) radius from the video. Bottom of the shirt increased to 13” (33cm), curve from the shoulder to make the sleeve I kept at 17” (45cm), cut up from the bottom to meet the sleeve I increased to 7” (17.5cm). Pleats at bottom edges (front and back) I marked at 9” (22.5cm) and kept 1.5” (3cm) wide. I think everything else stayed the same, or used the same technique. COMMENTS ON CONSTRUCTION: - with a 3.5” radius neck opening, I needed roughly 25” (64cm) of bias (the diagonal cut of fabric”, so I cut 26” (66cm) to be safe. 25 would have been fine, but it’s good to add a cushion. - for the rolled hem on the sides, I don’t like making rolled hems (I find it difficult, Mia does it with ease!), but I have presser foot for it and you need a delicate hem, so if you can’t do a rolled hem, fold over twice as a small as you can. - 59” (150cm) ties for the bottoms will not give you enough for the front section to wrap around a second time to tie in front. If you want that (in which case both ties go in front) then you need to double the length. -- I think I could still add another inch (2.5cm) or two (5cm) to the bottom front and back and I'd feel a little more comfortable wearing it. FINAL THOUGHTS: I used cotton (an unused flat bedsheet specifically, but 100% cotton) and I don’t know if it’s the fabric or my body shape, but I’m not loving how this shirt works on me. Even tied loosely, it definitely sits on the waist and maybe I need extra high waisted pants to like where the shirt sits (my taller frame, ready-made pants I don’t think fit me as intended, I do prefer skirts). And it’s not the added measurements, I just don’t like how it lays but I will be trying other versions of this. So see if maybe it’s just this design. Maybe a lighter fabric (or a heavier-but-thinner?) would hang better on me? It also doesn’t overlap as much as I would like on the sides. I know the sides will be open, but it’s too much to feel comfortable in public and not enough to just wear a camisole underneath. I’m still happy I tried this design, it was easy and came together well, I’m sure it’s just my body shape it’s not working with. EDIT: tried something, pinned the sides about 9" (22.5cm) up and then tied fronts to backs - I like this better. Assuming I can take this off as-is (pinned) I'm going to stitch sides together so that it's no longer a wrap top, leave the ties to dangle and tie-up decoratively instead of functionally and I think I'll wear this shirt. I am still going to try other butterfly-wrap styles out there.

I'm 66 years old. I made these when I was in high school. We loved them!!! They were hippie clothes, made from cotton India blankets.

I just started sewing and decided to make this. The video is very easy to follow! Made the shirt with the measurements named in the video and because im a western woman with a long torso the sleeves end above my elbows, which i actually quite like, and the body itself ends around my waist. So its sort of a cropped top for me, which i do not mind! Im proud of what i made and will definitely make this again but larger :) Edit: i just made a larger version that was 60 cm by 60 cm folded quare. Neckhole still 10 by 8 cm. Sleeve 50. Bottom width 40cm instead of 30 from video. Etc. And now that i have this i actually prefer the look of the smaller one lol.

Before hemming all around, try the piece on over your head! I have a larger bust and this top barely came to my bellybutton with these measurements. I needed to add length to get it to come to my waistline.

Gracias quedó muy bonita y excelente enceñansaa

This is so cute! Definitely in my to-make list, when I have time...

Приятные воспоминания, в 14 лет мы друг другу такую выкройку передавали, красивая кофточка получалась.
