   I like the relaxed look of these trousers but the sizing isn’t true to size. Going by the measurements I was a size 12 but I could easily have gone down to a size 10. Also the facings for the waistband were too short on the size 12 so I had to recut them longer. Luckily I had enough fabric to do that. As with all the stylearc patterns the instructions are very limited. Anyone new to dressmaking would find them far too confusing and would probably give up. There is a tutorial online for these pants but in the end I found a much better way of doing the waistband on YouTube by a third party.

   I shortened the leg length as I always have to. I made them in a black medium weight linen and get many compliments regards the style when wearing them. The split in the leg sets them apart from other pants patterns. I love them and will make them again. I made Size 18 next time I will go down a size.

   Made this in heavy linen. Easy make but I’ll make the alit differently , the construction was cumbersome. I made a muslin to get the crotch curve right for me. I made a 10 but next time I’ll size down. Very long on my 165 frame.

How Do I Know What Size I Am?

Choosing your pattern size is the most important step and we will help you determine this with these easy to follow steps.

1. When taking your measurements ensure that you take them against your skin and not over clothing. One can wear a comfortable bra and knickers whilst measuring, as this will provide you with the most accurate measurements.
2. Tape measure has to sit firmly around the points you are measuring. But be careful not to pull it too tight, as this will give you the incorrect size.
3. When measuring circumferences (B, C, D, E) it is important to note that the tape measure must remain parallel to the floor. It is sometimes best to take the measurements in front of a mirror; this will help you see the angle of the tape measure.
4. You will only require the basic body measurements to determine your pattern size which is indicated on our mannequin below:

A. Shoulder Breadth

Place the tape at the edge of the shoulder. Measure along the top of the shoulder blade/across the highest point of the shoulders to the other edge, following the natural slope and allow an extra finger for ease of any movement.

B. Upper Arm Girth

This point is taken as a circumference at your widest point of your upper arm.

C. Bust

This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the fullest part of your chest.

D. Waist

This point is taken as a circumference and taken at the smallest part of your waist.

E. Hip

This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the widest part of your hips.
