Description

Sorry you are having trouble! There are a few things that can cause issues.
1. Make sure you don’t trim. This video shows how they assemble which is a bit different then others. A4 pages won’t quite go to the line on the long side. http://www.eymm.com/about-us/pattern-assembly/
2. Make sure that it is printed correctly. It can look fine but print smaller if you aren’t using the desktop version of Adobe. Also sometimes you have to check or uncheck auto rotate depending on the version. The plus side is because of how I assemble my patterns it is noticeable before you cut/sew and end up with something that is way to big or way to small. This blog posts shows you how to check that. http://www.eymm.com/2013/08/27/printing-pdf-patterns-in-windows-8/
If you are still having issues please send me a message through the contact us page and you can send me a quick picture and I can help figure out what is going on :). http://www.eymm.com/127-2/

This made up as pictured. I am pear shape so it was 1x top graded to 2x bottom. After my first make, I adjusted pattern to snug up the neckline to be more crew like than boat like. Another small adjustment to widen the arm about 3/4 of an inch. Really comfy. Love the overall length and love the arms, so comfortable to sleep in. I will be making more!
