   I love the style of the this skirt. I have worn it several times already. I changed the front pockets to slanted pockets like a pair of chinos has. This was my first time Style Arc pattern and I found the directions did not have enough detail. I had to use the directions from another pattern I have to put in the zipper and I my sewing skill is at an intermediate level. I do think it is nice that you get a bonus pattern when you purchase a Style Arc pattern.

   I finished this skirt today and I love it, fit is perfect and I enjoyed making it.
   I did however find the instructions were poor ☹️ really lacking in detail. An inexperienced sewer would struggle. I ended up looking an YouTube tutorial for the zip.

   Loved this pattern.
   Exactly as described, fit was excellent, as were instructions!

   Love my new repurposed denim skirt with raw hem!!! So very comfy, and pattern sizing (Kate Skirt by StyleArc with self drafted front pockets) was awesome. Great use of old jeans #stylearc #isew #sewaustralia #sewaus

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.
