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

I highly recommend this pattern. I made in a black heavy weight linen Fit for me was perfect with just a tiny adjustment by scooping out the curve a bit more on the bum seam after I had finished them. Length was spot on for my 156cm height. Love the style and very flattering pleats and flat waistband on a tummy that definitely is not flat. Instructions were challenging for me even as an experienced sewist. But I got there in the end and the result was so worth it. Love Stylearc for fit.

Hi unfortunately didn’t get to have the pattern printed and the time ran out next time I will order ready printed. It would have been better with a longer time frame for me. As I had some family problems that took up a month of my time before I realised it was to late

I recommend this pattern.
Firstly the pleats on the front are deep and I feel the style disguises the lumps and bumps in the belly area, which is a winner in my book.
Secondly apart from shortening the legs by 3 cm I had no other alterations to do.
Love the slanted pockets as well.
I have already cut out a second pair ready to sew up this weekend.

I love the pattern, but there are a lack of information in how-to sew the left pocket. I needed to try, sew, unsew and sew again.
This is a crutial step in the construction, so It worth it its own instruction page.
