This is a lovely pattern and the style is very flattering. I made it from a soft, lightweight denim fabric leftover from another project. I’ve only given four stars because as other reviewers have mentioned, the instructions aren’t as good as they could be, particularly for the construction of the waistband.

I wanted to love this pattern, I found the instructions lacking and had a difficult time with the pattern. I am an advanced beginner, and this should’ve been something I could’ve completed. I am hesitant to purchase another pattern.

Absolutely love this skirt. I made it ankle length in a brushed natural twill. It looks great with low boots and oh so comfy. I only gave 4 stars because the instructions cost me too much sewing time.

Love it! Super easy to make (the instructions were really clear) and the skirt turned out beautiful. I used Marimekko ”Isomehu” fabric and it turned out fantastic, it is my absolutely favourite skirt at the moment, will definitely make another one as well, just have to choose another nice fabric first… As I live in Finland, and did not want to wait for the delivery, I had to buy the PDF-pattern, but at the end it was really easy to put together. After this experience, I will certainly buy other StyleArc patterns in the future as well.

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.
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.
