Every butt has a different shape! This stretch pull on pant is for those with a flatter bottom. The back side seam comes to the front giving this slightly narrow legged pant a slimming look and the back yoke adds to this flattering shape.
Fabric Suggestion
Stretch bengaline, stretch woven

I have been meaning to try this pattern for ages and I’m so glad I did. The first pair in stretch denim are a lovely fit but I found I needed a slightly deeper back rise. The second pair in ponte I added 1.5cm to the centre back yoke, fading back to nothing at the side seam. I also made both pairs with a fold-over elastic waist which suits my fluffy mid-section and shortened them by about 7cm for my 155cm height.. Now I have the perfect pattern and can run up a new pair in just a couple of hours.

Quick and easy.
Next time will try one size smaller. I chose the size based on my waist measurement, but should have considered my smaller hip size
Will also try coverstitching the front seam or making a different seam type. I did mine with the serger, and I can “feel” it more than I would like

These were the easiest pants I’ve ever made! No alterations needed except in pant length – I shortened them by 2 inches. I’m 5’3″, my Style Arc measurements are size 14 and the pants fit perfectly. The material I used for both pairs had 2% spandex and this was sufficient to pull on and off these pants.

Wow these were a hit on the first try. I did add about an inch in the rise which is usual for me. Sewed up my regular style arc size. Love them so much already cutting a second pair.

As always with Style Arc this is a stylish pattern snd is a dream to make. My wearable toile will need a few adjustments unfortunately- the pants sit too low on my waist and this makes them a little tight. Will make again soon and adjust the rise.

Although I have not needed a trouser lately, I did take the flat bottom back, and add it to some other pant patterns, and they now fit perfectly. So it was worth buying just for the back seam. I will be making it when I need a new trouser.

Love them, went together like a dream, very styly. For smell next time I will mekemail the back yoke deeper at centre back so they don’t feel like they are riding down too much when I bend over.

Made several for several women, They look very classy with their side-seam brought forward and the fit is fantastic! Easy to put together.
Remember to put the panels on top of the back legs first!
Other tip: sew the front and back legs together- then twinstitch the seam, press and proceed.

I can’t rave enough about this pattern. I’ve made several pants and have shortened the pattern to make summer shorts out of them. I have also used the pattern pieces to help other pant patterns I have to account for my flat bottom problem. I do this as a common adjustment for myself now. Thank you for such a great pattern.

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.
