Pattern came together really quickly – a simple but stylish silhouette. Made a size 10 in a lightweight woven wool with good drape.
I left off the fifth dtar as, in common with a few StyleArc trousers patterns I have bought, having an elasticated waistband feels like a lazy finish to what could be a very chic garment. It adds bulk at the waist, is a real pain to attach with all the stretching needed to spread the elastic evenly, and is not very neat on the inside.
If I made again, I would modify to add a centre back zip and a fitted waistband, or jist make a real drawstring option and skip the elastic.
